Why, thank you, me.  Yes, I would like to recommend a couple of tunes that I've used
to great effect in the past.

"The End" by The Doors.  Anyone who's seen the opening scene from "Apocalypse Now"
knows why.  (Oddly enough, this was the adventure that I used it for.)

"Red Sector A," "Distant Early Warning" and "The Body Electric" by Rush.  All three
of these songs are available on the "Grace Under Pressure" album, which is about a
World gone to Hell, anyway.  "Distant Early Warning" is a great Blackhat song.

"Through Being Cool" by Devo and "Peekaboo" by Siouxie and the Banshees make good
bar songs.

"Police Truck" and "Winnebago Warrior" by Dead Kennedys make for decent road battle
music, though if you can locate the Mojo Nixion version of "Winnebago Warrior" from
the Virus 100 compilation, that one works even better.

And if anyone's interested, the opening tune from the game "Fallout" is "Maybe" by
The Ink Spots.
