https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61%2BNboz1c-L._SS280.jpg
From: Brave Belt II; Year: 1972; Genre: Hard Rock
Out of a good deal of the material on this record this is one of the songs that feature the riff heavy rock that would become the signature sound of 70s hard rock titan that was BTO. Brave Belt II is a bit of a grab bag musically, but has its gems, just more than a bit different; definitely not album oriented rock.
Anyway, Never Comin' Home is one of those songs that's perfect for putting on and relaxing to after a hard day's work; great rhythm and vocals.

Hear Never Comin' Home on YouTube.

6451. Savatage - Forever After

-

From: Edge of Thorns (Bonus Track); Year: 1993; Genre: Symphonic Metal/Power Metal Savatage, and the related bands for that matter, are another comforting band that gets me through rough patches. And since discovering that next year will be their first new studio release, ( Curtain Call ), since 2001's Poets and Madmen , I've been listening to them a lot more frequently; kind of hyping myself up for it. Whilst I am aware this will probably be it for Savatage and Jon Oliva's Pain as far as new material, I will savour it and the back catalogue. Plus, I highly doubt Trans-Siberian Orchestra is going anywhere.   Hear Forever After on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Gil Scott-Heron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised   My song pick 2 years ago today: Les Paul & Mary Ford - Bye Bye Blues   My song pick 3 years ago today: The Stylistics - Can't Give You Anything (But My Love)   My song pick 4 years ago today: Soundgarden - Somewhere ...

6317. Camel - Metrognome

-
Image
From: Rain Dances ; Year: 1977; Genre: Progressive Rock/Symphonic Rock Once again, sitting down to make today's pick and had an album playing in my mind; guess which one. Initially when this track came on I was bemused by the wordplay of using the name of the ubiquitous device that keeps a musician in time whilst giving one the image of a savvy-dressed garden ornament with a stylish pointy hat and professionally groomed hair and beard. You know a "metro-sexual" garden gnome, even though the term "metro-sexual" did not exist in the late 70s to my knowledge. Perhaps it is referring to a garden gnome that lives in a bustling downtown. Anyway, enough silliness.... This one is quite an interesting one in how it starts with the tic-toc of the fore-mentioned metronome with a very "Beatlesque" first verse which quickly becomes big and epic when the entire band kicks in. The Beatlelike sound continues through the second verse, but this time with more instrument...

6229. Lionel Richie - Stuck on You

-
Image
From: Can't Slow Down ; Year: 1983; Genre: Soft Rock/Pop/Country This one has been embedded in my brain for most of today thus far. To be honest, I have not heard it in quite a span, and was not 100% sure who performed it, but Lionel Richie was among the two or three I thought it was from. The only issue was that this one is just a wee bit outside his normal sound, as with much of of the material on this record, especially with the country/pop crossover influence on this song. When you really look below the surface of Can't Slow Down , you can tell a lot of it was experimental for the superstar. Many others who would dare to try such an album might end in all but career suicide so to speak, but he really hit it out of the park and into orbit.   Hear Stuck on You on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: The Rascals - A Beautiful Mornin g   My song pick 2 years ago today: Herbie Hancock - Rockit   My song pick 3 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Weath...

6235. Normaal - Val Kapot

-
Image
From: Deurdoneren ; Year: 1982; Genre: Rock The other night whilst driving home I had some of Normaal's songs come on and I really love how their music thumped and bumped through the speakers, so I turned it up louder; the bass and drums were mixed exquisitely. Anyway, as always, picking another song from them today; not too sure about the lyrical content due to their odd Dutch dialect. I really need to learn that language, been running into it a lot and online translation is absolute garbage. All that being said, this is quite a fun one to rock out to and have a great time doing it.   Hear Val Kapot on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Brass Construction - Screwed (Conditions)   My song pick 2 years ago today: Procol Harum - Song for a Dreamer   My song pick 3 years ago today: Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Watching Over You   My song pick 4 years ago today: The Charlie Daniels Band - The Devil Went Down To Georgia   My song pick 5 y...
