3. "Daddy, what does regret mean?" "Well son, the funny thing about regret is, it's better to regret something you have done, than to regret something you haven't done. And by the way, if you see your mom this weekend, be sure and tell her, SATAN, SATAN, SATAN!!!" A classic intro by whom?

5. "Every day, I wake up and pray to Jah. And he increases the number of clocks by exactly one. Everybody's comin' home for lunch these days. Last night there were skinheads on my lawn." Quirkiness alert. Who is this?
6. "I feel it coming on again. Just like it did before. They feed your pride with boredom. And they lead you on to war. The way you treat each other. Really makes me feel ill. Cause if you want to fight. Then you're just dying to get killed." Not all indie rock is fey and twee. Who expressed these negative vibrations and in what song?
7. "Beside yourself if radio's gonna stay. Reason: It could polish up the grey. Put that, put that, put that up your wall. That this isn't country at all. Raving station, beside yourself.

8. "All men have secrets and here is mine so let it be known. We have been through hell and high tide. I can surely rely on you. And yet you start to recoil. Heavy words are so lightly thrown. But I'd still leap in front of a flying bullet for you." Quite dramatic. Who and what is it?
9. "Here you go way too fast. Don't slow down you're gonna crash. You should watch - watch your stay here. Don't look out you're gonna break your neck. So shut, shut your mouth.

You know that I'll get messed up too with you." Lovely song. What is it?
10. "Started back in '83. Started seeing things a differently. And hardcore wasn't doin' it for me no more. Started smoking pot. Thought things sounded better slow. Much slower, heavier. Black magic melody to sink this poseur's soul. Renew Stooges undeniably cool. Took a lesson from that drone rock school. Manipulate musicians halfway to school. Getting loose with the Pussy Galore. Cracking jokes like a Thurston Moore. Peddle hopping like a Dinosaur and J. Rock and Roll genius, ride the middle of the road. Milk that sound, blow your load. Shoot it further than you ever said it go. Four stars in the Rolling Stone." What semi-legendary lyric is this?
