Songs in the key of B

Adam's tagged me for a meme (at my request), so here you go:

"Bad" by U2
One of U2's many anthems. This one just happens to begin with B.
"Basket Case" by Green Day
I like this song for the little things -- the hi-hat before the drums come in, the twangy bass fills.
"Between the Wheels" by Rush
The beginning synth stabs instantly date this, but if you get past that it's a great but underplayed song. Glad they dusted it off for the R30 tour.
"Black Flag" by King's X
I could be Doug Pinnick, if only I was a tall black dude with spiky hair.
"Blood and Fire" by Indigo Girls
The Phoenix Trap did a passable cover of this in our live set back in 2000.
"Blue Monday" by New Order
Sorry, Adam, but Daft Punk stole that beat. Here's the original.
"Board Burner" by Mixmaster Mike
The Beastie Boys owe much of their sound to this guy's turntable skills. This one's from the 'SSX Tricky' video game soundtrack.
"Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen
I heard a little while back that half of the band is touring with Paul Rodgers and calling themselves Queen. Hopefully Brian and Roger will come to their senses soon.
"Boombox" by Mosquitos
A cute loopy song for summer.
"Born To Run" by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
Going to the Jersey shore next week, so it's fitting I put this in. I don't care if it's a cliché.

King's X + Indigo Girls = serious Drexel flashback
