Re: Songs against "the man"

K's Choice (good alt rock band if you're not familiar) - "My Record Company" from the CD "Paradise In Me"
Tonio K - "I Handle Snakes" from "Romeo Unchained". (Another album from him, "Life In The Foodchain", is easily in my top 10 all time - not prog, but great basic rock with a sick sense of humor...)

Loved the "Death On Two Legs" reference - one of my best friends is a fantastically gifted guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist/writer, and a HUGE fan of Queen - "A Night At The Opera" is his favortite album of all time, with 2 other Queen albums in his top 5. Back in the 80's, their manager got them gigs warming up at stadiums for Pat Travers, Foghat, and a few others big names of the time, then ripped them off for a ton of money and equipment - and they learned and played that song as a "reverse" tribute...
