album by UKblues-rock guitarist Gary Moore , released in 1983 (see1983 in music ). Continuing his path in thehard rock genre, "Victims Of The Future" was a collection of straight-out rock'n'roll anthems (such as "Teenage Idol" and "Hold On To Love"), a mournful love ballad ("Empty Rooms", which then was redone by Moore for his 1985 "Run for Cover" album), a cover of the Yardbirds' "Shapes of Things ", and two darker songs, with some social and political commentary: "Victims Of The Future" and "Murder In The Skies", the latter being a protest against the Soviet Union's shooting down ofKorean Air Flight 007 .Track listing
