Song 295 (Ozzy Osbourne--"The Road To Nowhere")

I felt like some Ozzy today and this is one of my more favoured songs. Its arrangements are its best attribute in my opinion, especially Zakk Wylde's guitar. Everything fits perfectly with the use of the introspective, maudlin lyrics and vocals.

Here is the music video on YouTube.

6189. Dr. John - Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive

-

From: In a Sentimental Mood ; Year: 1989; Genre: Swing/Big Band Jazz Had this song on my mind since yesterday; quite a catchy and upbeat track to say the least. This one is a standard from during the height of The War, originally written by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer. From wot I understand the title and main idea of the song was borrowed from a sermon by a popular preacher at the time, Father Divine , which translated very well into an upbeat song. Many have recorded versions of this popular standard over the years, I almost went for a few others, but I knew Dr. John's really well, and I am a fan of his work, so I chose his rendition.   Hear Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Herman's Hermits - End of the World   My song pick 2 years ago today: Alice in Chains - The One You Know   My song pick 3 years ago today: Yes - Going for the One   My song pick 4 years ago today: Dayton Sidewinders - Phoenix ...

6203. Queen - Fight from the Inside

-

From: News of the World ; Year: 1977; Genre: Hard Rock Was thinking about this record again a lot recently and came to the realization that it is quite a bit better, especially the deeper cuts, than most critique it. From wot I've read this track was almost entirely done by just Roger Taylor, who wrote, sung, and played most of the instruments on the studio recording; it is quite the hard-hitting rocker.   Hear Fight from the Inside on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Emerson, Lake & Palmer - The Sage   My song pick 2 years ago today: Ratt - Round and Round   My song pick 3 years ago today: Little River Band - The Night Owls   My song pick 4 years ago today: Three Dog Night - Night in the City   My song pick 5 years ago today: The Guess Who - Key My song pick 6 years ago today: Tears for Fears - Broken My song pick 7 years ago today: The Hollywood Argyles - Alley Oop My song pick 8 years ago today: Sweeney Todd - Roxy Rol...

6211. R.E.M. - Everybody Hurts

-

From: Automatic for the People ; Year: 1992; Genre: Alternative Rock Gosh, this one really rattles some memories loose for me, not only was it from my pivotal early teenage years, but it was also quite the piece of music and quite popular; rightly so. They might've been one of the preeminent alternative rock bands, but their influences really came through on this one. With that doo-wop rhythm mixed with rock and gospel made for a very distinctive and timeless sound that still is fresh today in my opinion.   Hear Everybody Hurts on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Jethro Tull - Wolf Unchained   My song pick 2 years ago today: Hawkwind - We Like To Be Frightened   My song pick 3 years ago today: Rage Against the Machine - Maggie's Farm   My song pick 4 years ago today: Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Infinite Space (Conclusion)   My song pick 5 years ago today: Hall & Oates - Out of Touch My song pick 6 years ago today: Fleetwood ...
