From: Battle Hymn; Year: 1971; Genre: Folk Rock
Last night I had a few songs from Wild Turkey running through my mind and I took it as a sign I should pick one of them. This is one of the prettier and more mellow tracks on the album done in a folkish, acoustic style.

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...

6775. George Clinton - Atomic Dog

-
Image
From: Computer Games ; Year: 1982; Genre: Funk Thought I'd already chosen this one, which is George Clinton's biggest hits from his solo recordings. It has been sampled and used in popular media a lot over the years as well as just being a great funk standard.   Hear Atomic Dog on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: War - Vibeka   My song pick 2 years ago today: Spacehog - Only a Few   My song pick 3 years ago today: Duran Duran - New Religion   My song pick 4 years ago today: T.

6773. Cinderella - Nobody's Fool

-
Image
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...

6774. Queensrÿche - The Needle Lies

-
Image
From: Operation: Mindcrime ; Year: 1988; Genre: Progressive Metal Just wot I need to get the blood moving on such a busy day. This one begins side two, which more or less places it in the middle of the story. Musically The Needle Lies is a fast-paced and hard hitting metal track that really compliments the point in the tale where Nikki confronts the nefarious Dr. X and tells him that he and Mary are leaving. He comes to terms with his past as an addict and vows to move on.   Hear The Needle Lies on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Aphrodite's Child - Day of the Fool     My song pick 2 years ago today: Nelson - (Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection   My song pick 3 years ago today: Louis Armstrong - Everybody's Talkin' (Echoes)   My song pick 4 years ago today: Lenny Kravitz - Are You Gonna Go My Way   My song pick 5 years ago today: Stevie Wonder - Higher Ground   My song pick 6 years ago today: The Guess W...

6770. Martika - Toy Soldiers

-

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.     ...

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 ...

6776. The Gods - Looking Glass

-
Image
From: Genesis ; Year: 1968; Genre: Psychedelic Rock Thought that I would give this band another, closer listen; this time, their debut album. I love bands like these where they are essentially a "supergroup," but instead of already successful musicians joining forces, these are successful musicians in the making that would go on elsewhere for it. This is a neat piece of psychedelia-infused riff heavy prog rock that is especially good when listening on a good pair of headphones.   Hear Looking Glass on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Lakeside - Power     My song pick 2 years ago today: Paul Kantner and Jefferson Starship - Starship   My song pick 3 years ago today: Alice in Chains - So Far Under   My song pick 4 years ago today: C.W. McCall - Black Bear Road   My song pick 5 years ago today: Pink Floyd - Sheep   My song pick 6 years ago today: Bill Withers - Lean On Me   My song pick 7 years ago today: Small Fa...
