From: Rocket Cottage; Year: 1976; Genre: Folk Rock/Progressive Rock
It's a beginning of yet another month; boy April seemed to really fly by. Anyway, I felt like listening to some folkish music this morning and as usual Steeleye Span is always in the mix; for some reason I ended up listening to the Rocket Cottage album. This is one of Steeleye Span's heavier songs, which deviates a bit further from their normal sound.

6882. Alice Cooper - What Happened to You

-
Image
From: The Revenge of Alice Cooper ; Year: 2025; Genre: Hard Rock Had this new album from Alice Cooper, (the band, not... um... and the famous solo artist of the band's namesake), came to my conscious mind again, which got me to put it on once more. What Happened to You is one of the songs on the disc to feature recording of the band's original axe slinger, the late Glen Buxton. It's an excellent hard boogie-rock song that'll make you want to get up and dance to.   Hear What Happened to You on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Jerry Lee Lewis - What Made Milwaukee Famous (Made a Loser Out of Me)     My song pick 2 years ago today: Cameo - Ugly Ego     My song pick 3 years ago today: Eddie Rabbitt - Every Which Way but Loose   My song pick 4 years ago today: AC/DC - High Voltage   My song pick 5 years ago today: Three Dog Night - Never Dreamed You'd Leave in Summer   My song pick 6 years ago today: Jethro Tull - ...

6883. LaVern Baker - Jim Dandy

-
Image
From: LaVern Baker ; Year: 1957; Genre: Rock 'n Roll/R&B I cannot begin to count the sheer amount of times I've heard versions of this song on the radio, television, movies, video games and more over the years. However, this, the original doesn't really get played as much as it should. LaVern Baker has one of those blues/rock 'n roll voices that I just adore; powerful and gritty with sweetness throughout. Just amazing to think that they used to make music this good constantly; made the overall brevity of the song tolerable knowing you'd get another great one to follow it up.     Hear Jim Dandy on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: War - H2Overture     My song pick 2 years ago today: Def Leppard - Rocket     My song pick 3 years ago today: Jigsaw - Just Another Clown   My song pick 4 years ago today: Living Colour - Sunshine Of Your Love   My song pick 5 years ago today: Kansas - All The World   My s...

From: Word Up! ; Year: 1986; Genre: Funk/Hip-Hop I keep coming back to Word Up! , and I know why: it's a freaking awesome album, period. It is a record that you just put on and just lifts your mood to the stars with no filler songs!   Hear She's Mine on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: The Winery Dogs - The Dying     My song pick 2 years ago today: Automat - The Advance     My song pick 3 years ago today: Crowded House - Never Been The Same   My song pick 4 years ago today: Elton John - This Song Has No Title   My song pick 5 years ago today: Tin Tin - Toast and Marmalade for Tea   My song pick 6 years ago today: Funkadelic - Stink Finger   My song pick 7 years ago today: April Wine - Crash and Burn My song pick 8 years ago today: Foreigner - Cold As Ice My song pick 9 years ago today: Rush - Everyday Glory My song pick 10 years ago today: Rod Stewart - The Motown Song My song pick 11 years ago tod...

6881. Billy Joel - Honesty

-
Image
From: 52nd Street ; Year: 1978; Genre: Soft Rock I believe that I've stated it before, but Glass Houses and The Stranger are without a doubt my top two favouite Billy Joel records. 52nd Street though, you'd think would be right there, and make no mistake, I love the album, but I have some weird idiosyncrasy where it just slips my mind. I remember the songs from it and such, and each time I see it it makes me feel like a moron that I did, in fact, miss it. Anyway, this is one of the main hits from it and one that most who like his work knows by heart.    Hear Honesty on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Earth, Wind & Fire - Kalimba Tree     My song pick 2 years ago today: John Denver - Fly Away     My song pick 3 years ago today: Paice Ashton Lord - Ghost Story   My song pick 4 years ago today: Thompson Twins - Lies   My song pick 5 years ago today: ABBA - Eagle   My song pick 6 years ago today: George ...

6878. Aimee Mann - Red Vines

-
Image
From Bachelor No. 2 or, the Last Remains of the Dodo ; Year: 2000; Genre: Rock/Pop Had some music from the band 'Till Tuesday, which Aimee Mann fronted before finding even more success as a solo artist. Have chosen some tracks from various bands she collaborated with as well as 'Till Tuesday, but nothing from her solo works... so I'm taking care of that now. It is difficult to believe that it has been 26 years now since this song and album were released, as they say: Tempus Fugit .     Hear Red Vines on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Pearls Before Swine - Rocket Man     My song pick 2 years ago today: Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Break the Chain     My song pick 3 years ago today: The Beach Boys - Don't Worry Baby   My song pick 4 years ago today: Primus - American Life   My song pick 5 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Lap of Luxury   My song pick 6 years ago today: Mr. Bungle - Egg   My song p...

6884. Pendragon - Nostradamus (Stargazing)

-

From: The Window of Life ; Year: 1993; Genre: Progressive Rock Just an amazing record, this one; all of the music is both beautiful and contemplative, if that makes sense. I guess that's wot you get from one of the main bands of the second wave of prog rock.   Hear Nostradamus (Stargazing) on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: The Kinks - Mr. Songbird     My song pick 2 years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Lost in a Fantasy     My song pick 3 years ago today: Larry Graham & Graham Central Station - People   My song pick 4 years ago today: Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan   My song pick 5 years ago today: Blind Melon - Tones of Home   My song pick 6 years ago today: Temple of the Dog - Hunger Strike   My song pick 7 years ago today: David Bowie - Cygnet Committee My song pick 8 years ago today: Genesis - Dodo/Lurker My song pick 9 years ago today: War - Slippin' Into Darkness My song pick...
