2927 Dazz Band - Swoop "I'm Yours"

Image
From: Joystick ; Year: 1983; Genre: Funk/Electronic Another Funky Friday is upon me and since I've only picked one song from them before and I really like The Dazz Band I thought I would go for another. This song is quite dated with the sound of the era it was recorded in, but for some reason it doesn't detract from it all in my opinion. I love the beat and feel of this one; it's one that makes you wanna get up and move. Hear Swoop "I'm Yours" on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Jethro Tull - Hunt by Numbers My song pick two years ago today: Peter Jay & The Jaywalkers - Can-Can My song pick three years ago today: Jethro Tull - Home My song pick four years ago today: Steve Vai - Details at 10 My song pick five years ago today: England Dan & John Ford Coley - Westward Wind My song pick six years ago today: Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade of Pale My song pick seven years ago today: Louis Armstrong - Hello Dolly

2926 Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention - Eat That Question

Image
From: The Grand Wazoo ; Year: 1972; Genre: Progressive Rock/Jazz Fusion Earlier this morning I had one of Frank Zappa's songs running through my mind incessantly. After that it seemed like an excellent idea to pick one of his track for today. This song, which is very popular amongst those who listen to his music, features the incomparable George Duke lending his talents on the keys. It's a totally brilliant amalgamation of Zappa's signature almost otherworldly musical ideas and cutting-edge jazz fusion at the time. Hear Eat That Question on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Nocturnal Rites - Ring of Steel My song pick two years ago today: The Moody Blues - The Sunset/Twilight Time My song pick three years ago today: Hawkwind - Damnation Alley My song pick four years ago today: Chet Atkins - I Wish I Knew My song pick five years ago today: Sergei Prokofiev - Op. 67 - Peter and the Wolf My song pick six years ago today: Lalo Schifrin - Scorpio...

2925 Guns N' Roses - Sweet Child 'o Mine

Image
From: Appetite for Destruction ; Year: 1987; Genre: Hard Rock/Metal When looking over the songs by the band that I had already chosen I noticed that this one was not among them, so I will rectify that. This is, of course, one of the band's most popular songs and has been one of my favourites from their catalogue as well; Slash's guitar is definitely the main highlight in my opinion. Hear Sweet Child 'o Mine on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Charles Blackwell Orchestra - Taboo My song pick two years ago today: Yes - South Side of the Sky My song pick three years ago today: Pallas - Eastwest My song pick four years ago today: Finntroll - Ursvamp My song pick five years ago today: Eric Burdon & the Animals - Sky Pilot My song pick six years ago today: The Rogue Traders - Voodoo Child My song pick seven years ago today: The Cranberries - Zombie

2924 Savatage - Beyond the Doors of the Dark

Image
From: Hall of the Mountain King ; Year: 1987; Genre: Progressive Metal/Power Metal I had a feeling that I should pick another one from Savatage today; this is one of my favourites off of their epic Hall of the Mountain King album. This one's got most of the prog metal goodness you'd need with a huge dose of the epicness that is power metal. Hear Beyond the Doors of the Dark on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Harlequin - Superstitious Feeling My song pick two years ago today: Les Paul - Hip-Billy Boogie My song pick three years ago today: The Byrds - Turn! Turn! Turn! (to Everything There Is a Season) My song pick four years ago today: Muse - Uprising My song pick five years ago today: Guns N' Roses - Don't Cry My song pick six years ago today: Puhdys, featuring Till Lindemann and Richard Krupse - Wut Will Nicht Sterben My song pick seven years ago today: Nightwish - The Pharaoh Sails To Orion

2923 Queen - Great King Rat

Image
From: Queen ; Year: 1973; Genre: Progressive Rock/Hard Rock I was in the mood for something from Queen this morning; this often overlooked but excellent track seemed like a perfect fit for the day. This is a pretty heavy song off of their debut album; Brian May's guitar playing and Freddy Mercury's vocals in particular are truly incredible, as always. Hear Great King Rat on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Karussell - Wintermärchen My song pick two years ago today: Ian Anderson - Old School Song My song pick three years ago today: Alice in Chains - Them Bones My song pick four years ago today: America - Lonely People My song pick five years ago today: Rammstein - Weißes Fleisch My song pick six years ago today: The Steve Miller Band - Space Into/Fly Like An Eagle My song pick seven years ago today: The Delgados - The Light Before We Land

2922 Fine Young Cannibals - She Drives Me Crazy

Image
From: The Raw & The Cooked ; Year: 1989; Genre: New Wave/Rock/Pop A while ago I heard this song again and it's been sitting in the back of my mind ever since; I figured I'd take this Sunday to finally add it to my list. Definitely a catchy tune with the sound of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Hear She Drives Me Crazy on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: "Weird" Al Yankovic - Word Crimes My song pick two years ago today: Fleetwood Mac - Come a Little Bit Closer My song pick three years ago today: Django Reinhardt & Stéphane Grappelli (Quintette du Hot Club de France) featuring Freddy Taylor - I Can't Give You Anything But Love My song pick four years ago today: Rin' - Fuhen My song pick five years ago today: Cream - Badge My song pick six years ago today: Steeleye Span - Seven Hundred Elves My song pick seven years ago today: Billy Joel - Prelude/Angry Young Man

2920-21 The Who - We're Not Gonna Take It/See Me Feel Me

Image
From: Tommy ; Year: 1969; Genre: Hard Rock This morning whilst running some errands this final piece from The Who's epic rock opera Tommy kept on running through my mind. Even though it wasn't originally released as such, this final piece is actually two songs, but are always played together. This is very much one of The Who's signature songs that has all of sound and presence that the band is known for. Hear We're Not Gonna Take It/See Me Feel Me on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Chet Atkins - Funky Junk My song pick two years ago today: The Steve Miller Band - Overdrive My song pick three years ago today: The Doors - Light My Fire My song pick four years ago today: Elvis Presley - Suspicious Minds My song pick five years ago today: Jethro Tull - Grace My song pick six years ago today: John Denver - Season Suite: Summer My song pick seven years ago today: The Steve Miller Band - The Window

2919 Funkadelic - I Bet You

Image
From: Funkadelic ; Year: 1970; Genre: Funk/Soul Today marks my 98th Funky Friday pick in a row without a break or interruption. I decided to fall back to an old favourite of not only one of mine, but for many others too. A great groove from a great act for this Funky Friday. Hear I Bet You on YouTube.

2918 Alice Mudgarden (Alice in Chains) - Right Turn

Image
From: SAP ; Year: 1992; Genre: Alternative Rock/Grunge Here's an interesting one from Alice in Chains that features the vocals of Chris Cornell of Soundgarden and Mark Arm of Mudhoney; members from some of the bigger bands from the Seattle scene at the time getting together for a song. It has definitely got the Seattle sound of the times in spades and a treat to hear. Hear Right Turn on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Midnight Oil - The Dead Heart My song pick two years ago today: Johnny Rodriguez - Ridin' My Thumb to Mexico My song pick three years ago today: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - Op.49 - 1812 Overture My song pick four years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Down, Down My song pick five years ago today: Savatage - The Ocean My song pick six years ago today: The Steve Miller Band - Serenade My song pick seven years ago today: Ben E. King - Spanish Harlem

2917 The Delfonics - Hey Love

Image
From: Tell Me This is a Dream ; Year: 1972; Genre: Soul Still in the mood for some classic Soul and thought I'd pick another one. This one has a great rhythm to it; I especially love that bass. Of course, with most of their music, the Delfonics' vocal work is amazing. Hear Hey Love on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Porcupine Tree - Lazarus My song pick two years ago today: Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget About Me) My song pick three years ago today: The Beatles - I've Got a Feeling My song pick four years ago today: Joe Satriani - Surfing With The Alien My song pick five years ago today: The Moody Blues - The Dream My song pick six years ago today: Azteca - What'cha Gonna Do?

2916 The Chi-Lites - Oh Girl

Image
From: A Lonely Man ; Year: 1972; Genre: R&B/Soul I've been meaning to pick this song for quite a few days now; I happened to remember that fact today and made it my pick. I've actually have always loved this song and the band; their flavour of Soul/R&B is just exquisite. The vocals are top-notch and powerful is their delivery of the heart-felt sound and emotion, but the real treat for me personally is the great backing band; I just wish I knew who they were. It's amazing when a group and style of music such as this can take a rather melancholy idea and deliver it in an empowering and positive way. Hear Oh Girl on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Guns N' Roses - Knockin' on Heaven's Door My song pick two years ago today: AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap My song pick three years ago today: Frédéric Chopin - Op.19 - " Bolero " My song pick four years ago today: Missing Link - Filled Up My song pick five years ago tod...

2915 The Byrds - Mr. Spaceman

Image
From: Fifth Dimension ; Year: 1966; Genre: Psychedelic Rock/Space Rock This rather cute little ditty about visitors from outer space for some reason felt like a great pick for today; it really fit my mood. Definitely the song sounds like much of the music from the time period, but even with the dated sound it's still got a lot of charm and is a great track. Hear Mr. Spaceman on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Toronto - Enough is Enough My song pick two years ago today: Little River Band - Help Is On Its Way My song pick three years ago today: Joseph Haydn - Symphony No.45 in F Sharp Minor - " Farewell Symphony " My song pick four years ago today: "Weird Al" Yankovic - I Think I'm a Clone Now My song pick five years ago today: Primus - Pork Chop's Little Ditty My song pick six years ago today: Jethro Tull - For Michael Collins, Jeffrey and Me My song pick seven years ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - Shooting Shark

2914 Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight

Image
From: Face Value ; Year: 1981; Genre: Rock I normally don't have dreams as such, but last night I dreamed that I met Phil Collins and played this song with him for some reason; I thought it would be a good idea to pick it today. Anyway, this is probably his most recognizable and popular songs from his solo career. The mood and atmosphere laid down by this song is its best aspect along with the haunting lyrics and their delivery. Hear In the Air Tonight on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band - Hollywood Nights My song pick two years ago today: Men at Work - Down Under My song pick three years ago today: Pantera - Walk My song pick four years ago today: Hawkwind - Chronoglide Skyway My song pick five years ago today: Yes - Five Per Cent for Nothing My song pick six years ago today: Megumi Hayashibara - Fly Me to the Moon My song pick seven years ago today: Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Pedal Up

2913 Peter Tosh - Rumors of War

Image
From: Mystic Man ; Year: 1979; Genre: Reggae I was in need of some Reggae this morning; just too much stress. Anyway, since I have yet to pick one from him, I thought it would be a perfect day for something from Peter Tosh. This is a very uplifting and calming track; perfect for my mood today. Hear Rumors or War on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: War - Low Rider My song pick two years ago today: Midnight Oil - Truganini My song pick three years ago today: The Nightwatchman - I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night My song pick four years ago today: Van der Graaf Generator - Childlike Faith In Childhood's End My song pick five years ago today: Billie Holiday - Gloomy Sunday My song pick six years ago today: Electric Light Orchestra - Ticket To The Moon My song pick seven years ago today: ABBA - So Long

2912 Zapp - I Can Make You Dance

Image
From: Zapp III ; Year: 1983; Genre: Funk Another Friday, another funky pick. Here's, as the title suggests, a very danceable track from the very popular funk band Zapp. Even if you aren't a person who normally dances this song makes you want to get up, get your groove on and shake your "thang." Hear I Can Make You Dance on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Bachman & Turner - Rock & Roll is the Only Way Out My song pick two years ago today: Mortification - Overseer My song pick three years ago today: Deep Purple - Highway Star My song pick four years ago today: Rush - Not Fade Away My song pick five years ago today: Steeleye Span - Shaking of the Sheets My song pick six years ago today: Billy Idol - Eyes Without A Face My song pick seven years ago today: Taj Mahal - Fishin' Blues

2911 Hawkwind - Be Yourself

Image
From: Hawkwind ; Year: 1970; Genre: Progressive Rock/Psychedelic Rock/Space Rock This song, which is more or less an extended jam/instrumental, was running through my mind this morning and, as usual, I took it as a sign I should make it the subject of today's post. This is kind of a psychedelia meets surf rock sort of sound to it. I especially love Terry Ollis' drumming through this one; they really are the driving force or the entire piece. Hear Be Yourself on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Lynyrd Skynyrd - Saturday Night Special My song pick two years ago today: Icehouse - Great Southern Land My song pick three years ago today: Genesis - Many Too Many My song pick four years ago today: Iron Maiden - Where Eagles Dare My song pick five years ago today: Yes - Yours Is No Disgrace My song pick six years ago today: Herbie Hancock - Sly My song pick seven years ago today: Foreigner - Long, Long Way From Home

2910 Rush - Madrigal

Image
From: A Farewell to Kings ; Year: 1977; Genre: Progressive Rock This is one of the more abbreviated tracks from the band and to boot it is on one of their most "progressive" albums. This is a very pretty track with many lines and counter-lines played on the guitar, bass, and keys. Hear Madrigal on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: John Fogerty - A Hundred and Ten in the Shade My song pick two years ago today: INXS - Devil Inside My song pick three years ago today: Boston - Rock and Roll Band My song pick four years ago today: Mr. Big - Undertow My song pick five years ago today: Rush - In The End My song pick six years ago today: Led Zeppelin - Kashmir My song pick seven years ago today: The Kinks - Sunny Afternoon

2909 Blue Öyster Cult - Fire of Unknown Origin

Image
From: Fire of Unknown Origin ; Year: 1981; Genre: Hard Rock I felt like picking something from Blue Öyster Cult today; after going over the songs that I have already picked and such, I decided on the title track to their 1981 release. This is a very smooth rocking track with a nice back beat; definitely fits the theme of driving down a highway. Hear Fire of Unknown Origin on YouTube.

2908 Johnny Cash - Thirteen

Image
From: American Recordings ; Year: 1994; Genre: Country/Folk I noticed that today was the 13th and a Monday, so I thought I would go ahead and make another Monday the 13th pick . I've actually been failing pretty bad on this theme; thus far I believe I've only made one other. Anyway, I'm adding another one to this theme, and hopefully more. This was one that was written by Glenn Danzig for Johnny Cash to record; a pretty fitting song for his style indeed. Hear Thirteen on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Jethro Tull - Valley My song pick two years ago today: Ian Anderson - Photo Shop My song pick three years ago today: Ozzy Osbourne - Over the Mountain My song pick four years ago today: Ome Henk - Neem Een Ander In De Maling ( Barbie Girl ) My song pick five years ago today: Weather Report - Cucumber Slumber My song pick six years ago today: ZZ Top - Gimme All Your Lovin' My song pick seven years ago today: Eric Clapton - After Midnig...

2907 Jethro Tull - Cup of Wonder

Image
From: Songs From the Wood ; Year: 1977; Genre: Progressive Rock Been having a lot of internet issues today, so I've been having to use my mobile connection to post. Anyway, I was thinking about 'Tull's Songs from the Wood album a bit lately. Even though this is more or less album oriented rock and for the most part all of the album is great, Cup of Wonder is still a standout track featuring their Hard Rock meets Progressive Rock meets Folk Rock sound of the time; definitely another nice track to listen to. Hear Cup of Wonder on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Desmond Dekker & The Aces - Poor Me Israelites My song pick two years ago today: Sky - Cannonball My song pick three years ago today: Muse - United States of Eurasia (+Collateral Damage) My song pick four years ago today: Alice in Chains - Would? My song pick five years ago today: Rammstein - Jeder lacht My song pick six years ago today: Rammstein - Ein Leid My song pick seven...

2906 The Rolling Stones - Get Off of My Cloud

Image
From: Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) ; Year: 1966; Genre: Rock/Blues Rock Yesterday I heard some music from the period this song was created by The Rolling Stones and I thought I would pick one. This very famous riff heavy song is one of their more famous songs out there and one that just "clicked" with my today. Hear Get Off of My Cloud on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Rick James - She Blew My Mind (69 Times) My song pick two years ago today: Genesis - Squonk My song pick three years ago today: Bob Dylan - Hurricane My song pick four years ago today: Bad Company - Silver, Blue & Gold My song pick five years ago today: Louis Armstrong - We Have All The Time In The World My song pick six years ago today: The Yardbirds - Smokestack Lightning My song pick seven years ago today: Eric Clapton - Pretending

2905 Head Hunters - Chameleon

Image
From: Head Hunters ; Year: 1973; Genre: Funk/Jazz Fusion Even though I had already chosen a song from him, I felt like picking another one of Herbie Hancock's tracks for this Funky Friday ; this one comes from his second backing ensemble: The Head Hunters. This one's got an infectious groove laid down by the bass playing of Paul Jackson and the percussion/drumming of Bill Summers and Harvey Mason. The keyboards and use of the synthesizers in particular along with the horns fill the lead and rhythm perfectly to make it a joy to listen to. Hear Chameleon on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Yes - Siberian Khatru My song pick two years ago today: Maddy Prior - Mother and Child My song pick three years ago today: Ludwig Van Beethoven - Op.13 - Piano Sonata No.8 " Pathétique " My song pick four years ago today: Chet Atkins - Tears My song pick five years ago today: Fleetwood Mac - Tusk My song pick six years ago today: Fairport Convention - T...

2904 Jesus Jones - Right Here, Right Now

Image
From: Doubt ; Year: 1991; Genre: Alternative Rock Last night I'd heard this song for the first time in some years; it was definitely a blast from the past for me so to speak. It was pretty big over 20 years ago, which is strange to believe that it's been that long since it was released. Anyway, thematically this one is kind of a zeitgeist of the '80s and early '90s with making reference to all of the sociopolitical changes going on at the time. Musically it's very much part of the pop/rock at the time; not a bad song at all. Hear Right Here, Right Now on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Wings - Silly Love Songs My song pick two years ago today: Aphrodite's Child - End of the World My song pick three years ago today: Triumph - I Can Survive My song pick four years ago today: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside My song pick five years ago today: Cruachan - The Gael My song pick six years ago today: Jim Croce - Alabama Rain My song...

2903 Mastodon - Creature Lives

Image
From: The Hunter ; Year: 2011; Genre: Progressive Metal/Sludge Metal I had no song in mind today, but for some reason when thinking about the song I wanted to pick some music from Mastodon popped into my head and just seemed like a great idea. Hear Creature Lives on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Paul McCartney - Maybe I'm Amazed My song pick two years ago today: Soundgarden - Live to Rise My song pick three years ago today: Shocking Blue - Venus My song pick four years ago today: Rush - Countdown My song pick five years ago today: Mungo Jerry - In the Summertime My song pick six years ago today: The Kinks - A Well Respected Man My song pick seven years ago today: Eric Clapton - Bad Love

2902 The Steve Miller Band - Heart Like a Wheel

Image
From: Circle of Love ; Year: 1981; Genre: Rock This morning I was in the mood for something from the Steve Miller Band; I happened to notice that this song was absent from my list thus far, so I'm remedying it. I grew up hearing the Steve Miller Band and this song was among the ones I remember the most. I really like his guitar work on this track in particular; it really shines with its surf rock meets roots rock kind of sound. Hear Heart Like a Wheel on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Hawkwind - Space Dust My song pick two years ago today: Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention - Call Any Vegetable My song pick three years ago today: Queensrÿche - Sign of the Times My song pick four years ago today: Don McLean - Vincent My song pick five years ago today: Eric Burdon and War - Spill the Wine My song pick six years ago today: Supertramp - School My song pick seven years ago today: Steely Dan - Do It Again

2901 Herbie Hancock - Oh! Oh! Here He Comes

Image
From: Fat Albert Rotunda ; Year: 1969; Genre: Jazz Fusion/Funk/Soul I had another song in mind today, but Herbie Hancock's music started running through my mind, so I'm picking it. This is an interesting song with an infectioius groove; definitely a fun track to listen to on any day. Hear Oh! Oh! Here He Comes on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Lobo - Don't Expect Me To Be Your Friend My song pick two years ago today: Rush - Different Strings My song pick three years ago today: Led Zeppelin - The Rain Song My song pick four years ago today: Béla Fleck & The Flecktones - Big Country My song pick five years ago today: ABBA - When All is Said and Done My song pick six years ago today: Hawkwind - Motorhead My song pick seven years ago today: Savatage - Can You Hear Me Now

2900 King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Part 2

Image
From: Larks' Tongues in Aspic ; Year: 1973; Genre: Progressive Rock/Hard Rock Dang, I'm now at 2900 songs picked; I wasn't sure if I'd make it this far, but wot the heck... why not keep going? Anyway; I wanted to pick something more epic for this pick and looked no further to the complex and thunderous sounds of King Crimson. This is one of their instrumentals that some in progressive circles might've heard or at least a cover or two of it. Part 2 of the, (at this point), 4 part epic of Larks' Tongues in Aspic ; definitely some musical bliss here. Hear Larks' Tongues in Aspic part 2 on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: The Cars - You Might Think My song pick two years ago today: Falco - Rock Me Amadeus My song pick three years ago today: Stratovarius - Elysium My song pick four years ago today: Johnny Rivers - Muddy River My song pick five years ago today: Steeleye Span - Padstow My song pick six years ago today: Rush - Lakes...

2899 Grand Funk Railroad - Some Kind of Wonderful

Image
From: All the Girls in the World Beware!!! ; Year: 1974; Genre: Rock/Blues Rock I had music from Grand Funk Railroad running through my mind this morning; this often covered song in particular.

2898 Shelia Skipworth - Look What You Done to Me

Image
From: Look What You Done to Me (single); Year: 1969; Genre: Funk/Soul It's time for another Funky Friday pick! By my count it should be my 95th in a row; only funk on Fridays for 95 weeks straight! Anyway, this is one I heard the other day and thought it would make an incredible addition to not only my blog, but my Funky Friday theme too. I love how they used the flute to add a light counter-punctuality to her beautiful and powerful vocals on this one. Hear Look What You Done to Me on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit My song pick two years ago today: Alice in Chains - Angry Chair My song pick three years ago today: Alestorm - Shipwrecked My song pick four years ago today: Steeleye Span - Dark-Eyed Sailor My song pick five years ago today: The Police - The King of Pain My song pick six years ago today: Chet Atkins - Yakety Axe My song pick seven years ago today: Benjamin Britten - War Requiem

2897 Jethro Tull - Warm Sporran

Image
From: Stormwatch ; Year: 1979; Genre: Progressive Rock Last night and into this morning I had this track running through my mind; as always I took it as a sign I should pick it. To me this instrumental piece, Warm Sporran , has always served as an intermission of sorts in the middle of the record. I really like how it goes from folk rock to hard rock and everything in between; quite a dynamic track. Hear Warm Sporran on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - Sole Survivor My song pick two years ago today: Mastodon - Divinations My song pick three year ago today: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - K.626 - Requiem Mass in D Minor My song pick four years ago today: Banchee - The Night is Calling My song pick five years ago today: Band of Horses - Cigarettes, Wedding Bands My song pick six years ago today: Bread - Guitar Man My song pick seven years ago today: America - A Horse With No Name

2896 What Made Milwaukee Famous - Just Run

Image
From: You Can't Fall Off the Floor ; Year: 2013; Genre: Indie Rock I started thinking about some of the music from this band the other day, so I began listening to their newest album again. This is one that has a really good dynamic sound to it and one that I like the most off of the record. Hear Just Run on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Muse - Map of the Problematique My song pick two years ago today: Stahlhammer - Nur Ein Tier My song pick three years ago today: Mr. Big - Fool Us Today My song pick four years ago today: The Jimmy Castor Bunch - E-Man Groovin' My song pick five years ago today: Led Zeppelin - D'yer Mak'er My song pick six years ago today: Arthur Smith - Guitar Boogie My song pick seven years ago today: Band of Horses - Ode To LRC
