1461 Tesla - Forever More
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61SUA8BpBBL._SL500_AA300_.jpg
From: Forever More, Year: 2009
Genre: Hard Rock

I been really enjoying Tesla's Forever More album and was listening to it again last night, so I'm picking a song off of it this morning. This is, of course, the title track off of the album and one of the best tracks in my opinion. I really love that Tesla has not completely abandoned their original sound like so many other '80s bands have.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.



My song pick a year ago today: Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick

My song pick two years ago today: Bob Marley & The Wailers - Three Little Birds

My song pick three years ago today: Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) - Bad Moon Rising

6766. Marx Brothers - Lydia the Tattooed Lady

-
Image
From: A Night at the Opera ; Year: 1999 (1939); Genre: Comedy In a weird mood today and had the Marx Brothers film At the Circus , or rather music from it playing in my mind incessantly. Wot the Marx Brothers did musically is seemingly timeless and is enjoyable to people born more than a century after release. I still laugh and cannot turn away from this scene in particular, it is just so entertaining and hilarious. Even though Groucho sings the lead and is the primary focus and does an amazing acting job, his brother Harpo doing his physical comedy in the background is my favourite aspect; he all but steals the show during this number. It took me a while to find the soundtrack, but luckily was able to find this album of one of their most popular film's namesake. It also includes three other film soundtracks, including At the Circus , of which this one came.   Watch the number performed from the film on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Marvin Gaye...

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 ...

6767. Eagle-Eye Cherry - Save Tonight

-
Image
From: Desireless ; Year: 1997; Genre: Alternative Rock Here's another one that came out during wot many refer to as the "post grunge" era that I've always liked. Don't know why I haven't chosen one of Eagle-Eye Cherry's songs yet, but I guess I will start with what is his biggest hit. As with many, many artists and bands, over here in The 'States he is erroneously labeled as a "one-hit wonder." He has actually scored a number of hits in other parts of the world, most notably European nations; chiefly his native Sweden. Save Tonight is just one of those tracks that, even if you are not a big fan of it, you'll start drumming your fingers and singing along without noticing.    Watch the music video on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Tears for Fears - Advise for the Young at Heart     My song pick 2 years ago today: The Surfaris - Surfer Joe   My song pick 3 years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - She's a Devil...

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 +

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 +

1693 Hawkwind - Living on a Knife Edge

-
Image
From: Sonic Attack , Year: 1981, Genre: Space Rock/Progressive Rock Well, as of tomorrow Blogger will no longer allow me to use the simple, easy to use software I was used to, so I decided I would "upgrade" a day early. As you can probably tell I'm not at all in favour of the move. I tried the software about six months ago and absolutely hated it; ever since I first saw the notification that this was taking place I dreaded it. I don't know what it is with these services who take a simple, easy to used, streamlined interface and "add" new features that only serve to make the blog posting process a messed up pain in the arse. Not only that, they saw fit to make the older processes that you were used to that much more difficult as well! Okay, I will end my rant now. Anyway, for no reason what-so-ever I felt like listening to some Hawkwind today. Initially I wanted to pick a song from their Alien 4 album, but sadly none of the songs that I wanted to pi...

2225 Pat Benatar - Invincible

-
Image
From: Seven the Hard Way ; Year: 1985; Genre: Rock This song has been literally running through my mind off and on for about two weeks now; as I usually do I am making it my pick. I grew up with Pat Benatar's music, and I can say even though some of her songs are over 30 years old, most have aged incredibly well; including this track. Her powerful voice that is potent in any range only adds to the empowering aspects of this song; that and the straight-forward thundering guitar, bass, and drums are what makes this song as good as it is. From what I understand this was the theme song to a film called The Legend of Billy Jean ; I've never seen or heard of it before, I might have to check it out for the soundtrack alone. Watch the music video clip on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize My song pick two years ago today: Freddy Taylor and His Swing Men from Harlem - Blue Drag My song pick three years ago today: Hans Zimmer - Fight...
