1103 Unheilig - Schutzengel

Having a pretty busy day today, so I am making a somewhat of a quick pick for the third day of my "Also Known as Rammstein" theme week. Again, these are musical artists whose songs get erroneously credited as being from Rammstein on the internet.
Anyway, here is a sometimes misattributed track off of Unheilig's '03 album Das 2. Gebot; it is also one of my favourite tracks off the album.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.
Here is an orchestral version of the song on YouTube.


My song pick a year ago today: Jaco Pastorius - Chromatic Fantasy
My song pick two years ago today: The Polyphonic Spree - Light and Day/Reach for the Sun

6841. The Nice - Brandenburger

-
Image
From: Ars Longa Vita Brevis ; Year: 1968; Genre: Symphonic Rock/Progressive Rock Here's a great one from The Nice, who were known for such big, bombastic musical terrors. As you might be able to discern from the title, both it and the music it contains derives from Johann Sebastian Bach's Brandenburg Concertos ; the Third in particular. Keith Emerson is as amazing as ever on the keys in this "classical rocker."   Hear Brandenburger on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: The Guess Who - Lightfoot     My song pick 2 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Roots to Branches     My song pick 3 years ago today: Queen - The Prophet's Song   My song pick 4 years ago today: Bee Gees - To Love Somebody   My song pick 5 years ago today: Marillion - Warm Wet Circles   My song pick 6 years ago today: Dire Straits - Tunnel of Love   My song pick 7 years ago today: Banchee - 3/4 Song My song pick 8 years ago today: Parliament - ...

6842. Soundgarden - Holy Water

-
Image
From: Badmotorfinger ; Year: 1991; Genre: Alternative Metal For me it is very difficult to say one of Soundgarden's albums is "my favourite," I just love them all and can listen from front to back, everyone of them. I will say though, there is something special about Badmotorfinger ; truthfully I cannot say I dislike a single track on it. Maybe it's because I was becoming a teen when it dropped and thus hit me a the perfect moment; who knows, right? The dynamics are amazing on this one with both hard-hitting de-tuned riffs shaking the Earth, and somewhat quieter and intricate, but just as heavy sections. Of course the musicianship and writing are near perfect, and Chris Cornell showing off his unmatched vocals throughout.   Hear Holy Water on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Big Brother and the Holding Company (Janis Joplin) - Ball and Chain     My song pick 2 years ago today: Earth, Wind & Fire - That's the Way of the World   ...

6840. The Delfonics - Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)

-
Image
From: The Delfonics ; Year: 1970; Genre: Soul Their music was on my mind as I sat down to make this pick, so decided on choosing one of their most noted hits. There's a whole lot to love about this classic Philadelphia Soul track; I absolutely love those swells and ebbs with the vocal harmonies. Add to that the amazing music behind them that gives your ears a lot to chew on; you'll hear more and more parts of the track each time you play it.    Watch the Soul Train performance on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Bloodrock - Don't Eat the Children     My song pick 2 years ago today: The Jimmy Castor Bunch - My Brightest Day     My song pick 3 years ago today: Rush - Garden Road   My song pick 4 years ago today: Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - May I Have a Talk With You   My song pick 5 years ago today: ZZ Top - Legs   My song pick 6 years ago today: Primus - Eclectic Electric   My song pick 7 ye...

6843. Ludwig Van Beethoven - Op.129 - Rondo alla ingharese quasi un capriccio or "Rage Over a Lost Penny"

-
Image
Op.129; Year: ~1795; Genre: Classical Period/classical I always love music like this, it shows that "the greats" were not stodgy old folks bereft of humour. In actuality with those who are still widely-known to history it was quite the opposite. Anyway, this is a classical music lover's favourite; it is a show piece that gets played when musicians do expositions on Beethoven. Op.129 is a virtuoso piano piece with some hallmarks of the late Classical Period, but also with rumblings of the Romantic Period that had already begun to take hold, like his louder, more bombastic style.   Hear the piece on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Dokken - Into the Fire     My song pick 2 years ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - So Supernatural     My song pick 3 years ago today: The Zombies - Tell Her No   My song pick 4 years ago today: Van McCoy & the Soul City Symphony - The Hustle   My song pick 5 years ago today: The Kinks - A Lo...

6844. Jethro Tull - Flying Colours

-
Image
From: Broadsword and the Beast ; Year: 1982; Genre: Hard Rock/Progressive Rock This excellent record was on my mind once more today; was bemused to learn that there were songs from it that I had yet to pick, imagine that! 😁 The overall faster tempo and virtuosity really sell the whole idea of two passionate individuals, probably a couple, coming to extreme disagreement complete with public displays of such tantrums. The imagery really plays out with the help of both the lyrical content combined with the arrangement.   Hear Flying Colours on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Sly and the Family Stone - Dance to the Medley     My song pick 2 years ago today: Asia - Bury Me In Willow     My song pick 3 years ago today: Cher - Half-Breed   My song pick 4 years ago today: Robert Knight - Everlasting Love   My song pick 5 years ago today: Parliament - What Comes Funky   My song pick 6 years ago today: Alice in Chains -...

6845. Larry Graham & Graham Central Station - Ghetto

-
Image
From: Graham Central Station ; Year: 1974; Genre: Funk/Gospel/Soul Funky Friday once more, and wot a better way to mark it that with something from Larry Graham and his amazing band. This is a slow and gritty gospel funk track that does it so well some might say it crosses into a Spiritual . This one definitely has a great groove and rhythm as well, so it will probably transfix listeners in various ways.    Hear Ghetto on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: The Beach Boys - When I Grow Up (To Be a Man)     My song pick 2 years ago today: The Allman Brothers Band - Jelly Jelly     My song pick 3 years ago today: Alice Cooper - Rock & Roll   My song pick 4 years ago today: Grand Funk Railroad - Nothing Is The Same   My song pick 5 years ago today: Helloween - Ride the Sky   My song pick 6 years ago today: Funkadelic - If You Don't Like the Effects, Don't Produce the Cause My song pick 7 years ago today: Cr...

6839. The Steve Miller Band - Shu Ba Da Du Ma Ma Ma Ma

-
Image
From: The Joker ; Year: 1973; Genre: Blues Rock/Funk Rock After having Steve Miller Band's music on my mind I delved  through wot I've already chosen... dang, that is a lot. The Joker is always one of my "go to" of his records and is really that bridge between his more grassroots blues rock and his more mainstream and commercially successful brand. I would have to put Shu Ba Da Du Ma Ma Ma Ma as one with aspects of both past and future versions of his sound. Although, that funky beat and amazing bass line is to die for; dance floor approved!   Hear Shu Ba Da Du Ma Ma Ma Ma on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Downtown Trio - Summertime     My song pick 2 years ago today: Bob Welch - Sentimental Lady     My song pick 3 years ago today: Rare Earth - What'd I Say   My song pick 4 years ago today: Jethro Tull - In Brief Visitation   My song pick 5 years ago today: Geddy Lee - Slipping   My song pick 6 years ag...
