You are Helen Of Tory You've been plucked from time to spend time in a bar that is out of time with a kickin' outer-space jukebox. You are a godly Spartan woman. What do you listen to?

I'm thinking since she's a good Spartan Girl she'd really like the Ramones or Patti Smith or PJ Harvey, I could see Helen rockin out to Bad Romance.

remember Spartian Ladies were bald, kept separate from men, trained in battle and kinda drunk all the time

So basically the story of Helen Of Tory makes so much more sense when you realize she was basically a Marine who was sold to someone. Give her an iPod, what's on it?

Some John Cale and AC/DC. I mean if someone writes a song about you, you have to check it out right?

Helen of Tory?

It would have to be Rule Britannia, the Trumpet Voluntary, and then possibly some Cliff Richard...

... not to mention Spartian!

I understand that the original Helen of Tory, Margaret Thatcher, was a big fan of "Telstar," by the Tornadoes.

If you're looking for something dramatic and "old worldy", she'd listen to Dead Can Dance.

If you are looking for something martial and war like, she'd listen to The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath a Cloud.

If you are looking for something classy and symphonic, she'd listen to the "Prospero's Books" soundtrack by Michael Nyman.

If you are looking for something modern, I'd say she'd go goth.
