From: Take No Prisoners; Year: 1981; Genre: Southern Rock/Hard Rock
I had this song on my mind last night and as I normally do, thought I would make it my pick today. This is one of those feel-good straight ahead rockers that's a joy to listen to when you're in the mood to sit back and have a good time of your own.

From: Märchenblau ; Year: 1983; Genre: Neue Deutsche Welle Had a hankering to hear something from Joachim Witt this morning. It has been quite some time since I picked one of his songs, so here's another one. Love the mix of the funky rhythm with the German new wave sound; extremely interesting in its own right, but kind of unique from something more mainstream.   Hear Rhythmus im Blut on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Hawkwind - Blue Shift     My song pick 2 years ago today: Sho Nuff - Monster Monster   My song pick 3 years ago today: Wishbone Ash - Anger in Harmony   My song pick 4 years ago today: Eurythmics - Missionary Man   My song pick 5 years ago today: Green River - Together We'll Never   My song pick 6 years ago today: Chris Squire - Safe (Canon Song)   My song pick 7 years ago today: The Chi-lites - Have You Seen Her?

6726. Bob Dylan - Thunder on the Mountain

From: Modern Times ; Year: 2006; Genre: Rock 'n Roll/Rockabilly I wanted to pick something related to Valentine's Day, and this track in fact does have a major connection to the holiday, so bear with me. Okay, so, in the past I really wasn't one that cared for Valentine's Day; just seemed too commercial and felt like one of those occasions where society seemingly punishes the lonely people who hadn't a "sweetheart." Make them feel like outcasts and unloved, etc. Well, a few years ago I discovered that this holiday on which the martyrdom of  Saint Valentine  is marked, happened on the Roman festival of Lupercalia , which contained some rites of fertility and such. Of course the Feast of St. Valentine has been observed for many, many centuries since. However, I happened to discover the genesis of wot you could call the more secular aspects, which began with Geoffrey Chaucer , who is known as both the Father of English Literature and Poetry, in his 14th Centu...

6727. Faith No More - As the Worm Turns

-
Image
From: Angel Dust ; Year: 1992; Genre: Alternative Metal/Rap Metal You can definitely hear some of Mike Patton's influence from his other band, Mr. Bungle , on this one. I just love the way they mix so many types of music and sounds and come up with more or less a brand new sub-genre, which is something that Faith No More excels at in spades.    Hear As the Worm Turns on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Clarence Carter - Slip Away     My song pick 2 years ago today: Bloodrock - D.O.A.   My song pick 3 years ago today: King Crimson - The Talking Drum   My song pick 4 years ago today: The Association - Never My Love   My song pick 5 years ago today: Boston - Walk On   My song pick 6 years ago today: Rush - Heresy   My song pick 7 years ago today: Sister Sledge - Do the Funk Do My song pick 8 years ago today: The Smashing Pumpkins - 1979 My song pick 9 years ago today: The Guess Who - Share the Land My s...

6730. Chad Allan & The Expressions - Turn Around and Walk Away

-
Image
From: Shakin' All Over ; Year: 1965; Genre: Rock 'n Roll Just hit me today that I wanted to pick something from the early Guess Who. How earlier could you get than choosing something from the band that would become The Guess Who? Or more specifically wot the record company advertised them as a means to gain attention by leading people to believe they were an English beat group in anonymity: Guess Who? Long story short, it did bring them fame and they just stuck with that moniker. Anyway, this is one from the pen of band leader Chad Allan and is more rock 'n roll than rock, and extremely different from their biggest hits like American Woman , No Time , and such.    Hear Turn Around and Walk Away on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Pallas - XXV Part 2: The Unmakers Awake     My song pick 2 years ago today: Ray Peterson - Tell Laura I Love Her   My song pick 3 years ago today: The Beatles - You Got to Hide Your Love Away  ...

6731. Orleans - Dance With Me

-
Image
From: Let There Be Music ; Year: 1975; Genre: Soft Rock Just had this track pop into my mind today, and since I have yet to choose one from Orleans, as I normally do, I took it as a sign to pick it. I've never really looked into the band Orleans much, but have heard their more popular hits a lot over the years. It is one of those cases of me knowing the music but not the artist. This hit single was actually released on two consecutive studio albums, because their record company did not "see and hits" on it, so the 1974 Orleans II was only released in Europe and some Asian markets. After signing with another label they apparently re-recorded a couple of the songs, this being one of them, and released a brand new album with those two tracks being successful hits.   Hear Dance With Me on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: The Youngbloods - Darkness, Darkness     My song pick 2 years ago today: Deep Purple - Flight of the Rat   My song...

1411 Nightwish - Last of the Wilds (Erämaan viimeinen)

1411 Nightwish - Last of the Wilds (Erämaan viimeinen) From: Dark Passion Play , Year: 2007 Genre: Symphonic Metal/Folk Metal Been meaning to pick another Nightwish track for a while now. This is quite a neat track, the Uilleann bagpipes really add a lot to the sound. The song actually has two versions: Last of the Wilds is an instrumental, which was released worldwide on their Dark Passion Play album. Erämaan viimeinen is essentially the same song with vocals sung in Finnish; this version apparently was only released in their native Finland. The vocals on Erämaan viimeinen were actually sung by Jonsu , who is the lead singer of the band Indica . Hear Last of the Wilds on YouTube. Hear Erämaan viimeinen on YouTube. Here is a live performance of Last of the Wilds on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Rush - Caravan My song pick two years ago today: John Denver - This Old Guitar My song pick three years ago today: Rammstein - Stirb Nicht Vor Mi...

6725. The O'Jays - I Love Music

From: Family Reunion ; Year: 1975; Genre: Soul/Funk/Disco There are a few bands that can easily put a smile on my face the second the groove and positive vocals drop. Away from their very serious tracks, which there are quite a few great ones, their songs that just take you, as Maurice White so perfectly coined, a "boogie wonderland" where you forget about all of the nastiness in the world and immerse yourself in a lovely aural cacophony and infectious groove.     Hear I Love Music on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: The Stampeders - Sweet City Woman     My song pick 2 years ago today: Red Rider - Cowboys in Hong Kong (As Far as Siam)   My song pick 3 years ago today: Lawrence Gowan - One Brief Shining Moment   My song pick 4 years ago today: Foreigner - Tramontane   My song pick 5 years ago today: Rush - Neurotica   My song pick 6 years ago today: Harlequin - Thinking of You   My song pick 7 years ago...
