Mumsnet Talk

I think I'm going to do a musical section for a christmas quiz, and what I was thinking was to have songs/music to identify and then a medical link.
On the one hand there is loads of modern music about mental health and addictions-suprise that, and I have some ideas re Beethoven-deafness and Mozart-poisoning ?mercury , need to go and check,
BUT I need some modern music about illness and disease, in fact any music.
Any suggestions?

Or actually music by composers/bands/performers with medical illness as well would be good

I'll start with The Drugs don't work-The Verve -palliative care and the drugs for Richard Ashcroft's father not working

anything by DR and the Medics?

Wires by Athlete...

Maybe a bit sad.

V good, might well put that in!

Pink's Just Like A Pill

Lily the Pink

Bad medicine-Bon Jovi

Girlfriend in coma-The smiths

I need some popstars with illness, might need some aging rockers [puts thinking cap on)

gregory isaacs - night nurse
