MPs scheinen Politiker zu sein, oder? :roll:
Led Zeppelin rocks Britain's MPs
They do their best to appeal to younger voters by regularly shunning suited
formality, using slang and showing off their knowledge of popular culture.
But it seems the musical tastes of Britain's politicians are stuck mostly in
the 1970s.
When asked by the British Library to name their favourite number one album,
rock veteran's Led Zeppelin's 1969 classic Led Zeppelin II came out top.
Albums by The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Deep Purple were also popular.
Unstoppable
According to Tory shadow immigration minister Damian Green, Led Zeppelin II
is "the ultimate album for teenage boys - metal as art. No-one ever topped
it. The opening riff is straightforward perfection".
Lib Dem MP Lembit Opik said: "Zeppelin made a new kind of music. They
created a genre many have copied but no-one has equalled. And Whole Lotta
Love is the greatest rock song ever."
This album reminds me of my last year at school and brings up a lot of
happy memories
Mark Oaten on Human League's Dare
Labour's Alison Seabeck added: "Led Zeppelin simply blew me away."
However, for Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell it was The Beatles' Sgt Pepper's
Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Education Secretary Alan Johnson preferred the band's Revolver, along with
Labour colleague Peter Kilfoyle. Ex-Conservative leader Michael Howard went
for The White Album instead.
Respect MP George Galloway chose Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan, while
Labour's Rosemary McKenna picked the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.
"It's a fantastic dance album and never fails to make me smile," she said.
"It's the most played on my iPod and in my car."
Bowie magic
Lib Dem MP Mark Oaten singled out Human League's 1980s classic Dare. "This
album reminds me of my last year at school and brings up a lot of happy
memories. Every track is a killer, not a filler," he said.
The Manic Street Preachers' This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours was Northern
Ireland Secretary Peter Hain's choice.
Lib Dem Jo Swinson, who at 26 is the Commons' youngest MP, went for Oasis'
(What's The Story) Morning Glory, while Schools Minister Jim Knight and
Labour colleague Ian Pearson selected Pulp's Different Class.
David Bowie, Elvis, Blondie, U2, Frank Sinatra, Marvin Gaye and Lionel
Richie also made it on to the list.
Tory Mark Field said Swing Out Sister's It's Better to Travel was his
favourite, commenting: "It brings back wonderful memories of my
undergraduate days in the mid-to-late 1980s. It still brings me out in goose
pimples and smiles."
Every album that has reached number one can be heard at listening stations
in the entrance to the British Library from Friday.
