From: Never Surrender; Year: 1983; Genre: Hard Rock
I've been wanting to pick another one from Triumph for a bit now and it feels like a great day for it. This is a pretty good track, which is more or less straight-up rock with a bit of neat add-ons and musical ideas that make it what it is.

Hear Battle Cry on YouTube.

6189. Dr. John - Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive

From: In a Sentimental Mood ; Year: 1989; Genre: Swing/Big Band Jazz Had this song on my mind since yesterday; quite a catchy and upbeat track to say the least. This one is a standard from during the height of The War, originally written by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer. From wot I understand the title and main idea of the song was borrowed from a sermon by a popular preacher at the time, Father Divine , which translated very well into an upbeat song. Many have recorded versions of this popular standard over the years, I almost went for a few others, but I knew Dr. John's really well, and I am a fan of his work, so I chose his rendition.   Hear Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Herman's Hermits - End of the World   My song pick 2 years ago today: Alice in Chains - The One You Know   My song pick 3 years ago today: Yes - Going for the One   My song pick 4 years ago today: Dayton Sidewinders - Phoenix ...

6139. Paul Kantner and Jefferson Starship - Starship

-

From: Blows Against the Empire ; Year: 1970; Genre: Psychedelic Rock/Space Rock Been decompressing from being on the road out of town and am definitely using things like this blog to help get back to homeostasis you could say. Anyway, I have had this concept record by Paul Kantner and company on my mind off and on over the last bit and decided now would be a good time to choose another track from it. This is the "grand finale" of the "space opera" concept, which features a big group of who's who from the folk rock scene at the time contributing on this track and a few others. Starship features the lead guitar of the late-great Jerry Garcia, although you really wouldn't need to be told that because it is so obvious his sound and style. Also David Crosby and Graham Nash add some backing vocals, also Harvey Brooks on bass and other Jefferson Airplane alumni Grace Slick and David Freiberg as well. As you would guess, it's a rather big sounding progressive p...

6203. Queen - Fight from the Inside

From: News of the World ; Year: 1977; Genre: Hard Rock Was thinking about this record again a lot recently and came to the realization that it is quite a bit better, especially the deeper cuts, than most critique it. From wot I've read this track was almost entirely done by just Roger Taylor, who wrote, sung, and played most of the instruments on the studio recording; it is quite the hard-hitting rocker.   Hear Fight from the Inside on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Emerson, Lake & Palmer - The Sage   My song pick 2 years ago today: Ratt - Round and Round   My song pick 3 years ago today: Little River Band - The Night Owls   My song pick 4 years ago today: Three Dog Night - Night in the City   My song pick 5 years ago today: The Guess Who - Key My song pick 6 years ago today: Tears for Fears - Broken My song pick 7 years ago today: The Hollywood Argyles - Alley Oop My song pick 8 years ago today: Sweeney Todd - Roxy Rol...
