William's Song a Day Blog - est. September 2007

From: Keeper Of The Seven Keys (part 1) ; Year: 1987; Genre: Power Metal I usually try to make an appropriate pick to match holidays like today, but I really didn't put much thought into my pick for this Halloween. One of the first bands that came to mind when thinking of a song; what better than this aptly named band and song for today? An excellent song from an all that more excellent and legendary band. Hear Halloween on YouTube.

From: A Show of Hands ; Year: 1996; Genre: Jazz Fusion/Funk 112 consecutive Funky Fridays in the can with today's pick; this is a far out entertaining track in the style that only the great Mr. Wooten could do. Other than some minor accompaniment this entire album featured just him his trusty bass guitar; a master and his tools. Watch a live performance along with an interview on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: The Spooks - The Spook Walks My song pick two years ago today: Midnight Oil - Drums of Heaven My song pick three years ago today: Irving Berlin - Alexander's Ragtime Band   My song pick four years ago today: Queensrÿche - Della Brown My song pick five years ago today: Van Halen - Unchained My song pick six years ago today: Warren Zevon - Lawyers, Guns and Money My song pick seven years ago today: Jackson Browne - Doctor My Eyes My song pick eight years ago today: Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV 565 - Toccata and Fugue in D-Minor 

From: Trilogy ; Year: 1972; Genre: Progressive Rock/classical After listening to a bunch of ELP last night there were a few songs I had in mind for today's pick; this mini three-part magnum opus won out though. It's strange; even though this one is over 10 minutes of music, and highly technical at that, this one keeps you captivated for the entire length of the piece. Hear The Endless Enigma in its entirety on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Hawkwind - Lost Chances My song pick two years ago today: Elton John - Rocket Man (I Think It's Going to Be a Long, Long Time) My song pick three years ago today: Béla Bartók - BB 52 - String Quartet No. 1 in A minor My song pick four years ago today: Victor Wooten - Us 2 My song pick five years ago today: The Sons of the Pioneers - Cool Water My song pick six years ago today: Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the Sky My song pick seven years ago today: Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Here is the News My ...

From: The Little Old Lady from Pasadena ; Year: 1964; Genre: Surf Rock/Pop I had this fun song running through my mind yesterday and it's still in my mind this morning. This one brings back a lot of memories for me from when I was growing up; my Dad had this one along with many other 60s surf rock/pop hits and we must've listened to this one over at least 500 times. It's quite a cute track about a sweet old lady who is the king of street racing in the Los Angeles area. Hear The Little Old Lady from Pasadena on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Buddy Holley and the Crickets - Maybe Baby My song pick two years ago today: Lou Reed - Satellite of Love My song pick three years ago today: Alestorm - Barrett's Privateers My song pick four years ago today: Sly and the Family Stone - Sing a Simple Song My song pick five years ago today: Miles Davis - So What My song pick six years ago today: Ray Charles - I Can't Stop Loving You My song pick...

From: Led Zeppelin II ; Year: 1969; Genre: Hard Rock I haven't picked anything from Led Zeppelin in a while, and since they're on my mind I thought I would go ahead and pick one today. Ramble On is a definite classic track amongst classics tracks; gotta love that bass line and that "typewriter" drum line, it really makes this song what it is. Hear Ramble On on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Cream - I Feel Free My song pick two year ago today: Eddie Lang - Pickin' My Way My song pick three years ago today: Sergei Rachmaninoff - Op. 27 - Symphony No. 2 My song pick four years ago today: AC/DC - Big Balls My song pick five years ago today: The Guess Who - Hand Me Down World My song pick six years ago today: Finntroll - Skogens Hämnd My song pick seven years ago today: Bon Jovi - These Days My song pick eight years ago today: Yes - Roundabout

From: Against the Wind ; Year: 1980; Genre: Rock I had a bunch of Bob Seger's music playing in my mind today, as usually I took it as a sign to pick one of them. This is a great inspirational track and has some nice mellower, but powerful feeling to go along with it. Hear Against the Wind on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: AC/DC - T.N.T. My song pick two years ago today: "Weird Al" Yankovic - Your Horoscope for Today My song pick three years ago today: Sly and the Family Stone - Stand!

From: Screaming for Vengeance ; Year: 1982; Genre: Metal In the mood for some Judas Priest this morning; no other reason for this pick other than it being a kick-arse song. Hear You Got Another Thing Commin' on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Van Halen - Right Now My song pick two years ago today: Larry Graham & Graham Central Station - Tell Me What It Is My song pick three years ago today: Rush - Mr. Soul My song pick four years ago today: Megadeth - How the Story Ends My song pick five years ago today: Sethian - Epitaph My song pick six years ago today: Marcus Miller - Frankenstein My song pick seven years ago today: Jackyl - The Lumberjack My song pick eight years ago today: Blackmore's Night - Rainbow Blues

From: Woman in the Wings ; Year: 1978; Genre: Folk Rock/Progressive Rock I was in the mood for something from Maddy Prior's solo work today; of course I drifted towards my favourite of her albums. I love the music and how it was arranged in this one, and the vocals are as good as always, but I definitely could do without the repetitive section at the end. Hear Rosettes on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Funkadelic - Funky Dollar Bill My song pick two years ago today: Sky - Westway My song pick three years ago today: Asia - Wildest Dreams My song pick four years ago today: Don Henley - Dirty Laundry My song pick five years ago today: The Scorpions - Big City Nights My song pick six years ago today: Graham Central Station - Earthquake My song pick seven years ago today: John Denver - Season Suite - Fall My song pick eight years ago today: Kyu Sakamoto - Sukiyaki ( Ue o Muite Aruko )

From: Suitable for Framing ; Year: 1969; Genre: Funk Rock Yesterday I discovered that Three Dog Night singer Cory Wells had passed away , so I thought it would be apropos to pick one of their songs; of the three lead singers with the band he was the one with the really powerful and soulful voice. Anyway, today is also Funky Friday, so I went with their version of the often covered funk rock classic; excellent song for the day. Hear Feelin' Alright on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band - Like a Rock My song pick two years ago today: The Coasters- Poison Ivy My song pick three years ago today: Béla Fleck & the Flecktones - Earthling Parade My song pick four years ago today: Stuart Hamm - Kings of Sleep My song pick five years ago today: Steeleye Span - Lovely on the Water My song pick six years ago today: Crosby, Stills & Nash - Just a Song Before I Go My song pick seven years ago today: Robert Mitchum - B...

From: Calling Up Spirits ; Year: 1996; Genre: Surf Rock The last few times I've been on the road this cover of the Jimi Hendrix classic by the King of the Surf Guitar himself, Dick Dale has come on my playlist. I thought it was a definite sign this song should be picked. As should be, he pays homage to the original whilst putting his distinct mark on it. Hear Third Stone From the Sun on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - The Revenge of Vera Gemini My song pick two years ago today: Queen - Ride the Wild Wind My song pick three years ago today: The Steve Miller Band - Enter Maurice My song pick four years ago today: Mastodon - Capillarian Crest My song pick five years ago today: Hot Chocolate - Brother Louie My song pick six years ago today: Rammstein - Frühling in Paris My song pick seven years ago today: Jethro Tull - A Small Cigar My song pick eight years ago today: Ian Anderson - Calliandra Shade (The Cappuccino Song)

From: Back to the Future (soundtrack) ; Year 1985; Genre: Rock/Pop Today is the 21st of October, 2015, which is also the date that Doc Brown and Marty McFly traveled to in the second Back to the Future , which is a very, very popular film classic. Whilst in reality "the future" turned out quite a bit different, it was still quite a vision for a time that was 30 years in the future! Now I'm feeling old; I remember when all three movies came out.... Anyway, I figured I should mark the occasion with a very appropriate song; this was one of the two songs that acted as the film's theme and is immediately recognizable and, funny enough, not really a dated song in any way for a 30 year old song. Hear Power of Love on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Black Sabbath - Paranoid My song pick two years ago today: The Cult - Painted on My Heart My song pick three years ago today: Scott Joplin - The Entertainer My song pick four years ago today: Maktub - ...

From: Give the People What They Want ; Year: 1981; Genre: Hard Rock For some reason this morning The Kinks' early '80s hit Destroyer on my mind, so, as usual, I thought I'd go ahead and pick it. For a song that makes homage to other, even more popular songs this one has a lot of distinctness in its feel and definitely its own song. Hear Destroyer on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Band of Horses - The General Specific My song pick two years ago today: Nightwish - Song of Myself My song pick three years ago today: Gustav Mahler - Symphony No.4 My song pick four years ago today: Saigon Kick - Chanel My song pick five years ago today: Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out My song pick six years ago today: Return to Forever - Vulcan Worlds My song pick seven years ago today: Victor Wooten - Me and My Bass Guitar My song pick eight years ago today: Pink Floyd - Welcome to the Machine

From: The Razors Edge ; Year: 1990; Genre: Hard Rock/Metal Ever since hearing this song the other day, which is among my favourites from AC/DC, has been in the back of my mind. So, I thought I would go ahead and pick it; a great track in quite a few ways. Hear Money Talks on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: The Doors - People are Strange My song pick two years ago today: Django Reinhardt & Stéphane Grappelli (Quintette du Hot Club de France) - Minor Swing My song pick three years ago today: Van Der Graaf Generator - A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers My song pick four years ago today: Asia - Only Time Will Tell My song pick five years ago today: British Whale (Justin Hawkins) - This Town Ain't Big Enough For the Both of Us My song pick six years ago today: Donald MacLeod - Field of Gold My song pick seven years ago today: John Lennon (The Plastic Ono Band) - Hold On My song pick eight years ago today: John Denver - Looking for Space

From: U.K. ; Year; 1978; Genre: Progressive Rock I've been meaning to pick something from this progressive rock supergroup made up of members from the likes of: Roxy Music, Yes, King Crimson, Curved Air, and Sound Machine to name just a few. This is the main single from the band's debut album and has the expected technicality for the connoisseur as well as some great sound and feel for those that aren't as much into the complexities of music. Hear In the Dead of the Night on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Fleetwood Mac - Don't Stop My song pick two years ago today: Funkadelic - Cholly (Funk Getting Ready To Roll) My song pick three years ago today: Scott Joplin - Maple Leaf Rag My song pick four years ago today: Jethro Tull - Play In Time My song pick five years ago today: Exile - Kiss You All Over My song pick six years ago today: Rush - Show Don't Tell My song pick seven years ago today: The Four Tops - Bernadette My song pi...

From: Motörhead ; Year: 1977; Genre: Metal This morning I had some Motörhead on my mind so I'm choosing one of their songs for my pick today. Of course this is the eponymous single from the album of the band's namesake and debut. Originally Motorhead was recorded with Hawkwind whilst Lemmy was in the band and was also the song's author. While still very similar to the Hawkwind version this one's a bit edgier and in my opinion the sound mix was a wee bit too dirty, but still a good version. It's very much fun to hear the early material from bands that would go on to become legends like this one. Hear Motorhead on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Leon Mitchison and the Eastex Freeway Band - Street Scene My song pick two years ago today: Neil Young & Crazy Horse - My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue) My song pick three years ago today: Jane's Addiction - Been Caught Stealing My song pick four years ago today: Rush - Leave That Thing Al...

From: Stanley Clarke ; Year: 1974; Genre: Jazz Fusion/Funk Whilst this one isn't strictly funk for this Funky Friday , it's got a lot of it in it.

My song pick one year ago today: Black Flag - Annihilate This Week My song pick two years ago today: Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black) My song pick three years ago today: Hawkwind - Hurry on Sundown My song pick four years ago today: Steeleye Span - New York Girls My song pick five years ago today: The Steve Miller Band - Living in the U.S.A.

From: Starless and Bible Black ; Year: 1974; Genre: Progressive Rock/Hard Rock I was in the mood for some mid 1970s King Crimson this morning; this song seemed like an excellent pick. I love the heaviness of this song, both musically and lyrically; in my opinion this is the band at one of its best points. Hear Lament on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Steve Vai - The Boy From Seattle My song pick two years ago today: Jethro Tull - Bourée My song pick three years ago today: Richard Strauss - Also Sprach Zarathustra My song pick four years ago today: 30 Seconds to Mars - Year Zero My song pick five years ago today: Don Williams - If Hollywood Don't Need You My song pick six years ago today: Cream - Strange Brew My song pick seven years ago today: A-ha - The Living Daylights My song pick eight years ago today: Procol Harum - Conquistador 

From: Cultösaurus Erectus ; Year: 1980; Genre: Hard Rock/Metal I was thinking about this song the other day and it's been with me on and off ever since; I figured I would go ahead and pick it. This is a nice high energy track off of an album that never gets the respect it deserves. Hear Fallen Angel on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Foo Fighters - These Days My song pick two years ago today: Hawkwind - The Aubergine That Ate Rangoon My song pick three years ago today: Oasis - All Around the World My song pick four years ago today: The Smashing Pumpkins - The End Is the Beginning Is the End My song pick five years ago today: Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells a Story My song pick six years ago today: Louis Armstrong - Red Sails in the Sunset My song pick seven years ago today: Jim Croce - Rapid Roy (The Stock Car Boy) My song pick eight years ago today: Savatage - The Wake of Magellan

From: Sky 2 ; Year: 1980; Genre: Progressive Rock/Symphonic Rock/Flamenco Rock Starting my foray into the 3000s of songs picked with this rather astounding and interesting song from the band Sky. As the title, Sahara , would suggest this one has a lot of the Arabic style of Flamenco all through it mixed with some classical and good 'ol hard rock. The classical guitar is amazing along with the rest of the band. Hear Sahara on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: The Allman Brothers Band - Trouble No More My song pick two years ago today: Simon & Garfunkle - Mrs. Robinson My song pick three years ago today: Rare Earth - Get Ready My song pick four years ago today: Trio of Doom - Continuum My song pick five years ago today: Jethro Tull - Aqualung My song pick six years ago today: Bill Monroe & the Blue Grass Boys - Wayfaring Stranger My song pick seven years ago today: Billy Squier - In The Dark My song pick eight years ago today: Jethro Tull - S...

From: Stories ; Year: 1994; Genre: Folk Rock Made it to number 3000 songs picked today and thought it best to pick an apropos song for the occasion. To add to that this is also another great artist that I haven't picked one from yet. Anyway, this is a pretty soulful piece of folk rock and a good track for a day like today. On to 4,000 now... I guess. :P Hear 3,000 Miles on YouTube.

From: A Trick of the Tail ; Year: 1976; Genre: Progressive Rock For some reason it felt like a great day for picking a song from the band Genesis. A Trick of the Tail is, of course, the title track from the album which heralded in the era in which Phil Collins took over lead vocal duties for the band. It's a fine track that blends a lot of both similar and contrasting sounds and ideas. Hear A Trick of the Tail on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge over Troubled Water My song pick two years ago today: Parliament - Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof Off the Sucker) My song pick three years ago today: Pallas - For the Greater Glory My song pick four years ago today: Steely Dan - Peg My song pick five years ago today: What Made Milwaukee Famous - Selling Yourself Short My song pick six years ago today: Jethro Tull - Left Right My song pick seven years ago today: Mott The Hoople - All The Young Dudes My song pick eight years ago...

From: Nights are Forever ; Year: 1976; Soft Rock Last night when we were out on the road I heard this rather pretty track come on my playlist.

From: The Birthday Concert ; Year: 1995 (1981); Genre: Jazz Fusion/Funk I had this funky piece of jazz on my mind this morning and thought it would make a great Funky Friday pick; my 109th in a row to be exact. This is Jaco Pastorius and a few friends of his doing a great live rendition of The Chicken originally written by Jazz composer/sax player Pee Wee Ellis. It was originally recorded in 1981 at Jaco's 30th birthday celebration, but didn't get released to disc until 1995. Hear Soul Intro/The Chicken on YouTube.

From: Cosmo's Factory ; Year: 1970; Genre: Blues Rock/R&B When thinking about a song to pick this morning Creedence came to mind, specifically this 11+ minute epic version of the Motown classic. Definitely 1970s album oriented rock in all its glory; despite the length of the track you hardly notice the length. Hear I Heard it Through the Grapevine on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: The Four Tops - Standing in the Shadows of Love My song pick two years ago today: Asia - Here Comes the Feeling My song pick three years ago today: Sol Ho'opi'i - St. Louis Blues My song pick four years ago today: The Allman Brothers Band - Les Brers in A Minor My song pick five years ago today: Puhdys - He John My song pick six years ago today: Styx - Too Much Time On My Hands My song pick seven years ago today: The Amboy Dukes - Journey to the Center of the Mind My song pick eight years ago today: The Who - Pinball Wizard

From: Hejira ; Year: 1976; Genre: Jazz Fusion/Blues Rock I had this album on my mind today and figured I'd go ahead and pick one off the album. This one was written about an encounter Joni Mitchell had with blues guitarist Furry Lewis , much to his dismay; apparently he didn't like the song and she didn't get permission to use his name from what I understand. Hear Furry Sings the Blues on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Paul Revere & The Raiders - Kicks My song pick two years ago today: C.W. McCall - Ghost Town My song pick three years ago today: Stevie Nicks - Stand Back My song pick four years ago today: Jigsaw - Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind My song pick five years ago today: U2 - Mysterious Ways My song pick six years ago today: Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son My song pick seven years ago today: The Who - Behind Blue Eyes My song pick eight years ago today: Jethro Tull - Part Of The Machine

From: Pump ; Year: 1989; Genre: Hard Rock Still in the mood for something just ever so slightly out of the normal of wot I normally pick, so I'm going with this rather raunchy and entendre-laced track from Aerosmith's Pump album. Pretty good song and you gotta love the meaning of the title: F.I.N.E. ( F ---ed Up, I nsecure, N eurotic, and E motional.) Hear F.I.N.E. on YouTube.

From: The Ghost of Tom Joad ; Year: 1995; Genre: Folk Rock I felt like picking something a bit different this morning; the music of Bruce Springsteen just seemed like a perfect fit for the day. This song has always been one of my favourites from Mr. Springsteen's pen; it's a great piece of folk rock that really brings forth the atmosphere of the lyrical content summoning up the imagery inspired by one of the main characters in the novel The Grapes of Wrath . Hear The Ghost of Tom Joad on YouTube.

From: Thick as a Brick 2 ; Year: 2012; Genre: Progressive Rock Last night when I was driving in town doing some errands this song come on my playlist.

From: Animals ; Year: 1977; Genre: Progressive Rock Every time I hear this track I'm amazed at the the construction, arrangement, and out-of-this-world musicianship; especially David Gilmour's guitar and bass playing. Even with the great lyrics the music is just so overpoweringly the thing that draws your attention in this great song; pure 11+ minutes of musical bliss. Hear Pigs (Three Different Ones) on YouTube.

From: Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus ; Year: 1962; Genre: Cool Jazz/Rock/Pop Yesterday when I was out and about this rather uplifting tune came on the radio and it brought a smile to my face.
