From: Vs.; Year: 1993; Genre: Alternative Rock/Hard Rock
Was in the mood for something from Pearl Jam this morning, no other reason.
This is one of their secondary hits from the album, and one I really like; the deep lyrics/subject matter work really well with the music.

Hear Dissident on YouTube.

6759. The Doors - Moonlight Drive

-
Image
From: Strange Days ; Year: 1967; Genre: Psychedelic Rock/Blues Rock Once more went back to this record and have since had this track on my mind. From wot I've read this was either the first or one of the first songs written by Jim Morrison for The Doors. It is very much an odd composition with the weird groove and, of course, Jim Morrison's out-of-this-world lyrics/vocals. However, I would have to say that Robbie Krieger's spooky sounding slide guitar and solo really is the icing on the cake so to speak.   Hear Moonlight Drive on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Sammy Davis Jr. - Whisper to One     My song pick 2 years ago today: Queen - Flash to the Rescue   My song pick 3 years ago today: Ace - Rock & Roll Runaway   My song pick 4 years ago today: Imagination - Just an Illusion   My song pick 5 years ago today: Alestorm - Fannybaws   My song pick 6 years ago today: Marillion - Seasons End   My song pick ...

6761. Tony Joe White - Stud-Spider

-
Image
From: Tony Joe ; Year: 1970; Genre: Country Funk/Blues Something a little different for this Funky Friday; some funky country blues crossover. It is just the great kind of weird just how well country/western and funk go together. A lot of people probably see the two musical genres as not related, but since both genres are children of of blues so to speak they have much more in common than not and thus go together like peanut butter and jam. As I've said before blues is one powerful and all-encompassing musical school and can bond together a great deal; and not just music either. Tony Joe White really does well using the whole "jilted lover done wrong" idea by comparing their relationship to that of a black widow spider and her usually soon-to-be-dinner mate. Heck, this track could be played in many mixed settings and eras; even today this one would go over well. Probably the best aspect of this song for me is the overall lower fidelity production; makes his vocals even al...

Open Letter To The Person(s) Who Filed a Copyright Infringement and to Any Readers it might Concern:

-
Today I received notice that a blog post, number 100 to be exact , allegedly infringed upon someone's copyright. I have not been given any other information other than just that. What is odd here is that no one Else's actual "intellectual property" is even on my blog; I am unsure as to what it is referring to because everything in the post was either written by me, therefore my intellectual property, or is linked to another website. I am assuming that they are either mad about my links to the YouTube video with the song, (which belongs to someone Else's Google YouTube account), or perhaps the album artwork, which was hosted by another website. SINCE NO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY NOT BELONGING TO ME EXISTS IN THE POST IN QUESTION OR ON MY BLOGGER ACCOUNT , I fully intend to file a counter-claim. Whatever the case I have decided to temporarily removed the links to the song on YouTube from the post in question. To these copyright holders: I hope some day you w...

3015-17. Emerson, Lake & Palmer - The Endless Enigma (Part 1)/Fugue/The Endless Enigma (Part 2)

-
Image
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 ...

6760. Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Benny the Bouncer

-
Image
From: Brain Salad Surgery ; Year: 1973; Genre: Progressive Rock Benny the Bouncer is one of "the other," more brief tracks on this extended, epic-laden album. It is driven by Keith Emerson's honky tonk ragtime-inspired piano playing that gets more and more complex as the song goes on. The overall arrangement and vocal delivery remind me a lot of late 1980s Savatage; their Streets: A Rock Opera specifically.   Hear Benny the Bouncer on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Neil Young and Promise of the Real - Already Great     My song pick 2 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Ladies   My song pick 3 years ago today: Ozric Tentacles - Weirditude   My song pick 4 years ago today: Mott the Hoople - (Do You Remember) The Saturday Gigs   My song pick 5 years ago today: Luther - Everybody Rejoice   My song pick 6 years ago today: Wishbone Ash - Vas Dis   My song pick 7 years ago today: Journey - Spaceman My song pick 8 ye...

6757. Motörhead - Deaf Forever

-
Image
From: Orgasmatron ; Year: 1986; Genre: Metal/Hard Rock Coincidentally I felt like picking something from Motörhead today and also discovered that their longtime guitarist Philip Anthony Campbell sadly passed away a couple of days ago, so I am definitely choosing one of their songs now.   Hear Deaf Forever on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Porcupine Tree - Rats Return     My song pick 2 years ago today: Steeleye Span - The Wee Free Men   My song pick 3 years ago today: Icehouse - Trojan Blue   My song pick 4 years ago today: Miles Davis - Paraphernalia   My song pick 5 years ago today: Utopia - Set Me Free   My song pick 6 years ago today: Nick Gilder - Rated X   My song pick 7 years ago today: Rush - Second Nature My song pick 8 years ago today: Diana Ross & The Supremes - Someday We'll be Together My song pick 9 years ago today: Megadeth - Dread and the Fugitive Mind My song pick 10 years ago toda...

6758. The Cranberries - So Cold in Ireland

-
Image
From: No Need to Argue ; Year: 1994; Genre: Alternative Rock/Celtic Rock Kind of odd that I have not chosen a song from The Cranberries for a St. Patrick's Day pick before today; definitely need to remedy that one. They are one of the more emotionally heart wrenching bands from Ireland, mostly thanks to the amazing vocals of the late-great Dolores O'Riordan and her signature wail.    Hear So Cold in Ireland on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Flogging Molly - Crushed (Hostile Nations)     My song pick 2 years ago today: Waylander - Kindred Spirits   My song pick 3 years ago today: Black 47 - Land Of DeValera   My song pick 4 years ago today: Frank Mackey & The Keltic Cowboys - Rocky Road to Dublin   My song pick 5 years ago today: Black 47 - Bodhráns On The Brain   My song pick 6 years ago today: Waylander - The Vernal Dance   My song pick 7 years ago today: Thin Lizzy - Dublin My song pick 8 years ...
