Music for Brethren, pt 2

A couple more nominations.

"Highway to Hell" by AC/DC: I don't actually know this one, but it sounds a good companion to "Jericho Road" and "The Hell-bound Train".

"High on Sunday 51" by Aimee Mann. Mainly because of the chorus, which includes "hate the sinner, but love the sin". Pardon?

OK OK with the pop stuff, but what about a bit more of the emotion evoking Chopin?, or even a little Rachmaninov...you can actually take a friend to the Royal Festival Hall now.

I'm working within very narrow limits here:

The tune must be melodic and simple enough to pass for a brethren singalong favourite, and there must be words appropriate to the brethren beliefs and lifestyle.

Chopin and Rachmaninov are for the human race as a whole, and I can't think of anything that would be particular to brethren. Although "Suite No.2" always went down well when I played it with my sister.

Anyway, the point is that this is a game rather than a serious music recommendation plan.

Yes yes of course, my comment was meant partly in jest as well.
