Balls To The Wall means going all out, 100% commitment. Apparently it started in the the 1960's when airplane throttle had a ball on the top of the stick so you pushed it all the way forward it was 100% power.

My vote is for Iron Maiden.

Another rare occasion when we've both voted for the same album. Smile

I guess I'll vote for Kate Bush. I just laid there and let the thermoses roll over me.

Venom - Black Metal 

Birthday Party - Junkyard is also great and has the best cover art:



Here's a cool video of the title track. Beware of Tracy Pew's pelvis!!!

Accept – Balls To The Wall (CD) - Discogs

Had to fix the quote, sorry. 

A friend of mine used to work as a part-time dominatrix and one time she needed music for a live performance. She asked if I could do an extended edit of the song Balls to the Wall, which I did by cutting, copying and pasting different parts of the song. Easy to do on a computer. No permissions were asked of course but I guess the crime has expired.

Violent Femmes
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
