[kj] OT: Afrika Bambaataa & John Lydon (Time Zone) - WorldDestruction (1984)

[Christof hamille]

Heavy???  If you heard the guitar line without Lydon or knowing the context 
of the song would you think PiL?  LIkely not (unless you want to be 
difficult).  THhis far and away a better song than Walk this Way redux.  BUT 
it sounds like Lydon is guest vocaling on it and there is no distinct 
musical side that he would have normally been associated with (PiL, Sex 
Pistols, whatever).
Nothing wrong with that.
What does Walk This Way get credit for...crossover.  Half Run DMC half 
Aerosmith.  And good or bad it sounds like it.
There is no way I am going to hear half John Lydon (in anything he's done) 
and half Afrika Bambaataa (however you spell it)
