Pink Folyd is just funny, but Lead Zeplyn is an insult to Led Zeppelin.

That's something I wanted to let everyone know.

The jams kick. But let's add some more stuff too. Sorry, Floyd and Zep really wouldn't work.

a Japanese player brought to a week-long WITP (paper version) game in Va.
about 20 years ago. As music it was a nice change, but the album covers also
included the words----and talk about depressing! I remember one especially
"uplifting" one that went something like:

Corpses on the water...., Corpses on the field...., Rotting in the sun..., Dying
for the Emperor...

and on and on about how nobody was every going to go home alive. A real morale
boster, that one.

Heh. I turn the music off and fire up the stereo. A little "Stairway to Heaven" or "Black Dog" is a great accompaniment to a carrier battle...

Sound's right, but I went to several and I can't match up years to teams any more.
I do better remembering how the games turned out and various interesting cam-
paigns. I played the British once, the Japanese once, and the US a couple of times.
Do you remember Craig Kuramada? He was the one that brought the Japanese
Music.

Status: offline 		I do remember Craig, can picture him like it was last week. There were two games going the year I was there; he was on the Japanese team in the other game. What a great time that was.....the only advantage that paper and cardboard had over electrons is that it gave you a valid reason to spend a whole week away from home, drinking beer and eating junk, not sleeping or shaving for a week (many of us did bathe, some did not), and playing WitP non-stop with a group of like-minded nutters.

"Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy From Company B" would be great.

For comic relief, you could include the Japanese pop group (I never knew their name) cover of the Beatles song "I'm Down" from 1964:

"I'm down - I'm learry down.
How can you raugh when you know I'm down?"

Sort of a commentary on being behind in VPs...

Actually, I like a good soundtrack for a game. I always enjoyed the brief snippets of "traditional" (I do not know that it was indeed traditional) Japanese sounding music that came with Pacific General. The Allied soundtrack stank and became annoying, but I could have listened to the Japanese soundtrack throughout the game.

Cities Aflame with Rock and Roll. I have not heard this song in years, and it is playing on the radio as I type this. Weird!

That's that music at the end of "Platoon".
