This Friday's Playlist asks the question: Psycho Killer, qu'est-ce que c'est? The answer surely is in one of these songs.
Some of the killers talked about in this playlist were real. Some are from ancient times (Elizabeth Bathory, Jack the Ripper) and some are more recent (Charles Manson, Ted Bundy).
Some others are made up, like the character in Alice Cooper's Along Came A Spider record.
And some songs we have no idea what they're actually about, like the famous Talking Heads classic Psycho Killer.
Some artists have mined the subject so much that we could have filled a playlist with just two or three bands, but as usual we've tried to keep it to one song per artist.
It'll surprise absolutely no one that the most represented genre in this playlist would be metal, but again we've tried to keep it as diverse as possible.
Listener's discretion advised, obviously. Enjoy, comment and share!
