It feels like a day for some Rammstein. This is a lesser-known track off of their '97 album Sehnsucht; it has a bit more of an electronic sound and thus is very danceable as well. I find it to be an excellent driving song; it gets the blood moving especially if you sing along. Although you get a lot of strange looks from other people when stopped at a red light singing Neue Deutsche Härte music.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.


My song pick a year ago today: Duran Duran - Lay Lady Lay

6769. Carmen - Drifting Along

-
Image
From: Dancing on a Cold Wind ; Year: 1975; Genre: Flamenco Rock/Progressive Rock Was enjoying this album once again yesterday; I thought I would choose another from it. Don't have very many left to pick from on this disc, or any of their others. Such a shame that they existed for such a transient time and with only three releases.... This one exemplifies their blending of hard rock and the intricacies and power of flamenco; just a great one to sit back and lose yourself listening to.   Hear Drifting Along on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Herbie Hancock - Fat Mama     My song pick 2 years ago today: The Kingsmen - Louie Louie   My song pick 3 years ago today: Hawkwind - Spaceship Blues   My song pick 4 years ago today: Jamiroquai - Space Cowboy   My song pick 5 years ago today: Hall & Oates - You Make My Dreams (Come True)   My song pick 6 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Something's on the Move   My song ...

1318 Queensrÿche - Fear City Slide

1318 Queensrÿche - Fear City Slide From: Operation: Mind Crime II, Year: 2006 I've been heavily enjoying Queensrÿche's Operation: Mindcrime II album lately; this is one of many tracks that I absolutely love off of the album. This concept album is a continuation of the story begun on their '88 Operation: Mindcrime album. I can just imagine what the music critics were like when they first heard about this album: a concept album from a Progressive Metal band? They must've went completely apoplectic. Here is the studio version on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Dream Theater - Light Fuse and Get Away My song pick two years ago today: The Doors - Ghost Song My song pick three years ago today: Badfinger - Day After Day +

6770. Martika - Toy Soldiers

-
Image
From: Martika ; Year: 1988; Genre: Pop Since the other day I've had this track on my mind, which is another that I have not heard in decades. It's weird how certain songs will play almost like you are actually listening to them; this is one of them. Could still remember the chord progression, words and the instruments' sounds. Anyway, back in the late 1980s, (basically when I was a pre-teen/young teenager), I remember hearing this one a lot as well as a handful of other songs from Martika. If I remember correctly she was kind of already a household name prior to her recording debut with her acting career on a few films and television shows. Apparently Martika drew weary of life in the spotlight and the music industry in particular; she walked away after a few years and then reemerged about a decade later. She formed the band Oppera with her husband. They seem to have made two studio album and she has done some more solo recording.   Hear Toy Soldiers on YouTube.     ...

6771. Pete Townshend - Let My Love Open the Door

-
Image
From: Empty Glass ; Year: 1980; Genre: Rock I must've heard this one recently because it has been on my mind for the last day or so. I knew Pete Townshend wrote and sung on this track, always thought there was a recording of it on a Who album too, but I guess I was in error. I really like the bass and drums in particular; definitely the song's driving force.    Hear Let My Love Open the Door on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Grand Funk Railroad - The Loco-Motion     My song pick 2 years ago today: The Steve Miller Band - Young Girl's Heart   My song pick 3 years ago today: Toto - 99   My song pick 4 years ago today: Lou Reed - Men of Good Fortune   My song pick 5 years ago today: Victor Wooten - Joe's Journey   My song pick 6 years ago today: Steeleye Span - Fighting for Strangers   My song pick 7 years ago today: Dire Straits - Romeo & Juliet My song pick 8 years ago today: James Brown - I Got Yo...

6773. Cinderella - Nobody's Fool

From: Night Songs ; Year: 1986; Genre: Glam Metal Hard to believe, (for me at least), that another month has passed and new one begins... time is just flying by. Anyway, it is April Fools Day once again, so I'm picking an apropos song for the occasion.   Hear Nobody's Fool on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Lou Rawls - Now And Then There's A Fool Such As I     My song pick 2 years ago today: Ricky Nelson - Poor Little Fool   My song pick 3 years ago today: Whitesnake - Fool For Your Loving   My song pick 4 years ago today: James Brown - These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You)   My song pick 5 years ago today: Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers - Why Do Fools Fall In Love   My song pick 6 years ago today: Billy Joel - Sometimes a Fantasy   My song pick 7 years ago today: Def Leppard - Foolin' My song pick 8 years ago today: The Doobie Brothers - What a Fool Believes My song pick 9 years ago today: Roxy Musi...

6772. Blue Mink - Get Up

-
Image
From: The Best of Blue Mink ; Year: 1974; Genre: Funk I just love finding bands that are new to me. I learned of Blue Mink through the works of bass great Herbie Flowers, who is among my favourite masters of the musical instrument. I wanted to pick this funky number, which was a single from just prior to the band calling it quits. Kind of neat how, even with them being a successful band, they continued with their side work of being session musicians during Blue Mink's run. Thus, they have appeared on a multitude of recordings before, during, and since the band's existence.   Hear Get Up on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Band of Horses - In Need of Repair     My song pick 2 years ago today: Classics IV - Traces   My song pick 3 years ago today: Dr. John - Snake Eyes   My song pick 4 years ago today: Harry Nilsson - Jump Into the Fire   My song pick 5 years ago today: Bob Dylan - It Ain't Me Babe   My song pick 6 ...

815 ( ABBA - I Let the Music Speak )

815 ( ABBA - I Let the Music Speak ) This one has been running through my mind for over a month now, it seems like an excellent pick for today. This is one of their most intricate songs that I have heard both musically and lyrically. It is amazingly arranged: very brooding with a classical waltz feeling in the verses and then builds in the pre-chorus and, (with the signature ABBA hook), it launches into the chorus, then it brings you back down. The song's subject is about a musical artist going through the creative process of putting feelings to music, treating the music as a living entity in almost the context of a lover. The lyrics are so deep you could almost drown in them at times. Hear I Let the Music Speak on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Stone Temple Pilots - The Big Empty My song pick two years ago today: Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Mr. Blue Sky +
