“Against” Songs, Vol. 1

And now, for the "Against" songs. As previously mentioned, with the "For" songs I limited myself to choosing only songs that began with the word "For" and tried to do the same with the "Against" songs. Sadly, I couldn't find enough good ones to balance out the number of "For" songs, so I expanded my search to songs with "Against" anywhere in their titles. And here's what I came up with. Volume 2 will follow, and this series will be complete. Enjoy!  ~  JH
