1263 Rush - Xanadu

I'm having some Rush on the brain again this morning and am picking another one of their songs.
This is probably one of their better-known "epic" songs, which is about the quest for immortality and consequences thereof; it was loosely based on Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem: Kubla Khan.
This is one of their songs to feature each member having to play multiple instruments when played live. Ever since I first saw the Exit... Stage Left performance I've liked this track.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.
Watch a live performance from Exit... Stage Left on YouTube.



My song pick a year ago today: Iron Maiden - Powerslave

My song pick two years ago today: George Frideric Handel - Every Valley Shall Be Exalted

My song pick three years ago today: Kohei Tanaka - Kline's Dream

6738. The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band - A Little Class & A Little Trash

-
Image
From: Hot Heat And Sweet Groove ; Year: 1968; Genre: Soul/Funk Was really enjoying some music from Charles Wright & the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band this morning and decided that I should choose another one of their songs. Kinda strange, but while I absolutely love their music, I never really looked into the specifics of the band. I discovered, to my amazement, that this band has gone through a few name changes and thus, makes "connecting the dots" so to speak, a little more challenging. Charles Wright was originally in a number of Doo-Wop groups early on, but this band apparently started out as "Charles Wright and the Wright Sounds," which began in 1962; around '66 and '67 they seemingly went by the name "The Soul Runners." At some point in '67 to '68 they became this incarnation that recorded today's pick and album and by 1970 became the most successful incarnation that was the verbose "Charles Wright & the Watts 103rd ...

6739. Bruce Springsteen - Cover Me

-
Image
From: Born in the U.S.A. ; Year: 1984; Genre: Rock Here is one that I've been meaning to pick for a while now; finally getting around to it. Cover Me is one of the earlier hits off of this landmark album, which, truthfully, plays more like a "Greatest Hits" record than a normal mainstream rock disc. Heck, It'd probably be quick and easier to name the non-hit songs from the album, but even at that they probably get a bunch of play on the radio, streaming, in stores, jukeboxes, etc as well. Without a doubt people one or two-hundred or more years from now will still be listening to it; and much of "The Boss'" others as well. Anyway, this one was originally written by Bruce for Donna Summer, however, his management decided that it would be a big hit if he recorded it himself, and they were right I suppose. Every time I put this one on I am taken aback by Max Weinberg's drumming, which is amazing normally anyway, but in my opinion he doesn't get the ...

6737. Rush - Crossroads

-
Image
From: Feedback ; Year: 2004; Genre: Blues Rock/Hard Rock I cannot even begin to count the amount of times I have said "I thought for sure I picked this song already" or something similar, but I am stating that once again and probably will many more times.... Had this album of cover songs from Rush on my mind and had another track in mind, however, when I noticed this one was not chosen as of yet, I jumped at it. This is of course a cover of pure piece of Americana music as deep into the very soul of it as it gets. Originally written and recorded by the great musical titan Robert Johnson back in the 1930s and played, recorded, inspired and loved by Bluesmen, Blueswomen, and every musician who plays music even slightly related to that foundational genre. Rush's cover though, is a direct cover of the classic hard blues rock rendition by Cream. Whilst it is a great cover and the musicianship and overall ability is out-of-this-world by Peart, Lifeson, and Lee, in my personal ...

6735/36. Jeff Wayne, Richard Burton, Chris Thompson - The Red Weed (Parts 1 + 2)

-
Image
From: Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds ; Year: 1978; Genre: Progressive Rock/Space Rock Had this album on my mind last night once again; thought I'd go with another one, or in this case two from this epic retelling of the H.G. Wells classic set to music. The Red Weed  is split into two parts and actually "sandwiches" another track: The Spirit of Man . The second part is especially cool in that you get to hear the late-great Phil Lynott as the character Parsons Nathaniel, which is pure awesomeness! The music and the dialogue work absolutely perfect together to keep the listener engaged.   Hear The Red Weed (Part 1)  on YouTube.   Hear The Red Weed (Part 2) on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Explorers Club - Impact 4 – Time Enough     My song pick 2 years ago today: Marcus Miller - Keep 'Em Running   My song pick 3 years ago today: Iain Matthews - Darkness, Darkness   My song pick 4 years ago tod...

1721 Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV Anh. 117a, 117b - Polonause in F Major (from Anna Magdalena Notebook II)

-
Image
BWV Anh. 117a, 117b; Year: 1725; Genre: Baroque Period/classical Today's pick number, (1721), happens to also be the year that J.S. Bach married his second wife Anna Magdalena Bach . Interestingly enough, three years ago I happened to pick two of the songs from the Second Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach , so I thought I would pick another piece from one of the two notebooks. As with a lot of Bach's work, this is a rather pretty piece of music. Here is a midi recording of BWV Anh. 117a on YouTube. Here is a midi recording of BWV Anh. 117b on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Exist†Trace - Requiem My song pick two years ago today: Meat Loaf - Two out of Three Ain't Bad My song pick three years ago today: Christian Pezold - BWV Anh. 115 - Minuet in G Minor (Anna Magdalena Notebook II) My song pick four years ago today: Raymond Scott - Powerhouse +

3295. Luther - It's Good for the Soul (Parts I & II)

-
Image
From: Luther ; Year: 1976; Genre: Funk/Disco/Soul Oi vey, another Funky Friday so it seems... I was going to pick another song until I realized wot day it was; I really need to have some caffeine in my bloodstream before getting on the computer. This is another funky track from the debut album of Luther Vandross' band of his namesake. This totally fun song definitely is one to make you wanna get up and boogie, especially if you have some platform shoes or roller skates around; just need a oldschool light show or lit up dancefloor.... Anyway, it's sad to say that I started getting to this band after watching some old S aturday morning public service shorts that featured the velvety voice of the late-great Luther Vandross; his voice certainly brings back a lot of memories of sitting in front of the television on Saturday mornings watching cartoons... oh the memories. Hear It's Good for the Soul (Parts I & II) on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Gun...

6740. The Rhythm Machine - The Kick (Part 1 & 2)

-
Image
From: The Kick/Beautiful Day ; Year: 2006 (1972); Genre: Soul/Funk Really felt like hearing something from The Rhythm Machine for this final Friday of the month. I am not 100% sure the original year this track was released; about 20 years ago it was put out as a single in Germany, but as far as I can find, it seems to have been first released in 1972. Wotever the case, it is an incredible piece of funky soul from an amazing band that sadly did not make a lot of music outside of a single studio album and two or three singles.   Hear The Kick (Part 1 & 2) on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Genesis - Get 'Em Out by Friday     My song pick 2 years ago today: Eric Clapton - Behind the Mask   My song pick 3 years ago today: Exile - Heart & Soul   My song pick 4 years ago today: U2 - 40 (How Long)   My song pick 5 years ago today: Phil Collins - I Don't Care Anymore   My song pick 6 years ago today: The Flying Bur...
