From: Greatest Hits ; Year: 1976; Genre: R&B/Soul Summer is kind of winding now and kids are going back to school and all; it felt kind of good hearing this rather sentimental song about the season.

From: Crimes of Passion ; Year: 1980; Genre: Hard Rock Had a few songs in mind today, but when getting ready to pick I had some music from this album on my mind; I finally settled on this hard rocker originally from The Young Rascals. I really like what Pat Benatar and her band did with it in every way whilst keeping the song's original soul intact. Hear You Better Run on YouTube.

From: Mirror ; Year: 1976; Genre: Funk Friday upon me once again so it seems; so for my 155th consecutive Funky Friday I figured I'd pick another one from Larry Graham's band of renown.

From: Spooky Two ; Year: 1969; Genre: Hard Rock Realized there was another band yet that I had not pick a song from that I like, so I'm rectifying that today. Most probably remember Judas Priest's cover of this song more, and it's excellent, but so is the original. Very bluesy, soulful, and dark this one; a treat to the ears.

From: What We Did on Our Holidays ; Year: 1969; Genre: Folk Rock/Progressive Rock Earlier I accidentally opened up iTunes on my computer and it just started playing this album; if that's not a sign as to the album I should be choosing a song from I don't know what is. Anyway, this is one written by the late-great Sandy Denny and is it a beautiful song. The mix of both electric and acoustic instruments as well as her vocals just make this one a sound to be heard.

From: Heaven Tonight ; Year: 1978; Genre: Hard Rock/Pop I have no reason for it, like usual, but really felt like listening to something from Cheap Trick today. It's always amazing to hear the band and the way they can take very light lyrics and just ramp them up to notches unknown; truly unique and great musicians, and this song exemplifies it. Hear Surrender on YouTube. Hear the epic Cheap Trick at Budokan version on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: The Kinks - Autumn Almanac My song pick two years ago today: Stevie Wonder - Skeletons My song pick three years ago today: The Grass Roots - Sooner or Later My song pick four years ago today: Felix Mendelssohn - Op. 56 - Symphony No. 3 (Scottish) My song pick five years ago today: Deep Purple - Pictures of Home My song pick six years ago today: Heart - If Looks Could Kill My song pick seven years ago today: Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man My song pick eight years ago today: The Beatles - Here Comes th...

From: On The Border ; Year: 1974; Genre: Rock Been a stressful weekend thus far and God knows I need some calming music to settle myself down.

From: Painkiller ; Year: 1990; Genre: Metal The other day I was playing around with the video game Brütal Legend , which is an incredibly fun game based around the genre of heavy metal, and has a lot of amazing songs on its soundtrack; this is among them. This these two tracks close out the album that would at the time be the last album from Judas Priest to feature Rob Halford for about a decade. He does a great job as ever lending his tremendous voice; for me, the guitars are also one of the main draws. Hear Battle Hymn/One Shot at Glory on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Yes - Tempus Fugit My song pick two years ago today: Louis Armstrong and His Hot Seven - Heebie Jeebies My song pick three years ago today: Van Halen - Dance the Night Away My song pick four years ago today: Jethro Tull - The Whistler My song pick five years ago today: Maurice Ravel - M.19 - Pavane for a Dead Princess My song pick six years ago today: Black Label Society - Stillborn ...

From: Part 3 ; Year: 1976; Genre: Disco/Funk Friday snuck up on me again, so it's another Funky Friday as it were. I had a couple of their songs on my mind off and on over the last couple weeks and since I hadn't picked one of KC and the Sunshine Band's tracks yet, I figured it was a good time. Nothing quite like this for some good old fashioned butt shaking whilst this song is playing. Hear (Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Tramp My song pick two years ago today: Van der Graaf Generator - Darkness 11/11 My song pick three years ago today: The Police - Walking on the Moon My song pick four years ago today: Led Zeppelin - Misty Mountain Hop My song pick five years ago today: Émile Waldteufel - Op. 232 - Rococo-Polka My song pick six years ago today: Sky - Sarabande My song pick seven years ago today: Lynyrd Skynyrd - On The Hunt My song pick eight years ago today...

From: The Atkins-Travis Traveling Show ; Year: 1974; Genre: Jazz This is a rather pretty and intricate waltz with amazing guitar picking; I just wish it was at least twice as long.... Hear Dance of the Golden Rod on YouTube.

From: L.A. Woman ; Year: 1971; Genre: Blues Rock/Psychedelic Rock For some reason, as I sat down to make today's song of the day choice, this rather interesting one from The Doors. I've always kind of liked this song, mix of heavy blues rock with Jim Morrison's very interesting and image-laden poetry. Hear The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat) on YouTube.

From: 4 ; Year: 1981; Genre: Hard Rock While visiting a local theme park yesterday I heard this song coming from one of the attractions; it felt like a great day for some Foreigner, so why not? I was actually surprised that I have yet to pick this one, which is one of my favourites from the band. I just love that hard-driving synth, which was apparently provided by one Thomas Dolby, whose career was about to breakthrough. It's sad that Foreigner softened their music a lot after 4 , but they still had a few I suppose, but nothing like this album/song. Hear Juke Box Hero on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: AC/DC - Touch Too Much My song pick two years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Find Out About Love My song pick three years ago today: Hawkwind - Orgone Accumulator My song pick four years ago today: Robert Schumann - Op. 17 - Fantasie in C My song pick five years ago today: Muse - Supermassive Black Hole My song pick six years ago toda...

From: The Legendary Zing Album ; Year: 1975; Genre: Soul I heard this piece of Philadelphia soul yesterday and it has stuck in my mind ever since, so I'm picking it. Mostly known for their disco hits, this one's way more soulful with maybe just a hint of disco in there. Hear Rubber Band on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Johannes Tapissler - Credo My song pick two years ago today: The Isley Brothers - It's Your Thing My song pick three years ago today: Bass Extremes - Portrait of Tracy My song pick four years ago today: ZZ Top - La Grange My song pick five years ago today: Rammstein - Seemann My song pick six years ago today: Jon Bon Jovi - Blaze of Glory My song pick seven years ago today: The Who - The Seeker My song pick eight years ago today: The Beatles - Mr. Moonlight

From: Surf Rider! ; Year: 1963; Genre: Surf Guitar Rock Felt like listening to some instrumental surf rock today; I decided on picking this hit from the earlier part of the surf crazy in music. Beautiful music and awesome melody with some monster hooks in it. Hear Surf Rider on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: The Rhythm Machine - You Got Action, You Got Me My song pick two years ago today: Megadeth - Liar My song pick three years ago today: Weather Report - Second Sunday in August My song pick four years ago today: AC/DC - Thunderstruck My song pick five years ago today: Victor Wooten - Norwegian Wood My song pick six years ago today: Hawkwind - Love in Space My song pick seven years ago today: Les Paul & Mary Ford - The World is Waiting for the Sunrise My song pick eight years ago today: Aerosmith - Cryin'

From: Tarkus ; Year: 1971; Genre: Progressive Rock Been insanely busy the last couple of days, so I'm being forced to make a quick pick of sorts. This is one of EL&P's more "radio friendly" songs, clocking in at just over 3 minutes and is one that will not upset the "pop snobs..." too much maybe. :P Hear A Time and a Place on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Jethro Tull - Fire at Midnight My song pick two years ago today: Wolfmother - Woman My song pick three years ago today: Dick Dale - Banzai Washout My song pick four years ago today: Megadeth - 13 My song pick five years ago today: Warrant - Heaven My song pick six years ago today: The Jimi Hendrix Experience - The Wind Cries Mary My song pick seven years ago today: Savatage - Damien My song pick eight years ago today: Marcy Playground - Sex and Candy

From: The Battle of Los Angeles ; Year: 1999; Genre: Funk Metal/Rap Metal I felt like going to more of a different direction for this Funky Friday pick, which, if my counting is correct, this is my 153rd consecutive Funky Friday. Anyway, getting into the funk/metal stylings of Rage Against the Machine; a very good track for today. Hear Guerilla Radio on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Fleet Foxes - Ragged Wood My song pick two years ago today: Tesla - The Way It Is My song pick three years ago today: Alice In Chains - We Die Young My song pick four years ago today: John Denver - Take Me To Tomorrow My song pick five years ago today: Mahavishnu Orchestra - Can't Stand Your Funk My song pick six years ago today: Styx - Suite Madame Blue My song pick seven years ago today: Rush - Malignant Narcissism My song pick eight years ago today: Molly Hatchet - Flirtin' With Disaster

From: For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge ; Year: 1991; Genre: Hard Rock With all the early 1990s nostalgia going around right now, (even drank a Crystal Pepsi again after they revived the brand), which is a reason I had this Van Halen album on my mind lately; I heard it a lot back then. Anyway, this is one of the latter singles off the album and definitely one to bring that nostalgia back. Hear The Dream is Over on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Soundgarden - Been Away Too Long My song pick two years ago today: Tommy James & the Shondells - Crimson & Clover My song pick three years ago today: John Denver - Carolina In My Mind My song pick four years ago today: Asia - Time Again My song pick five years ago today: U2 - The Unforgettable Fire My song pick six years ago today: Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule the World My song pick seven years ago today: Thompson Twins - Hold Me Now My song pick eight years ago today: Bachman-Turner Ov...

From: Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell ; Year: 1993; Genre: Hard Rock I had this track on my mind today for some reason; thought I should probably choose it. This is a great straight-up heavy rocker with lyrics and subject matter to match. Hear Life is a Lemon (and I Want My Money Back) on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Martin Barre - I Raise My Glass To You My song pick two years ago today: ABBA - Knowing Me, Knowing You My song pick three years ago today: The Kooks - She Moves In Her Own Way My song pick four years ago today: Hector Berlioz - Op. 14 - Symphonie Fantastique: Épisode de la vie d'un Artiste... en cinq parties My song pick five years ago today: Jethro Tull - Dun Ringill My song pick six years ago today: Ian Anderson - Fly By Night My song pick seven years ago today: The Supremes - I Hear a Symphony My song pick eight years ago today: Rammstein - Mutter

From: Spirals in Hyperspace ; Year: 2004; Genre: Space Rock/Progressive Rock Got into the mood to pick another one from this incredible band. This one's very spacy and all full of that prog goodness; a feast for the ears in the extreme. Hear Oakum on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Genesis - Man On the Corner My song pick two years ago today: Jethro Tull - Working John, Working Joe My song pick three years ago today: Rush - The Enemy Within (Part 1 of Fear) My song pick four years ago today: Paris - Pale Horse, Pale Rider My song pick five years ago today: Stuart Hamm - Simple Dreams My song pick six years ago today: Albert Hammond - It Never Rains In Southern California My song pick seven years ago today: Band of Horses - Islands on the Coast My song pick eight years ago today: Jim Croce - Roller Derby Queen

Year: ~1472; Genre: Renaissance Period/classical/Motet Felt like picking something old today; the Renaissance Period is always a winner for me when I want to delve a ways back. Beautiful, sacred pieces of music such as this always I find uplifting and giving a good, positive feeling Hear Gaude Coelestis Domina on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Al Di Meola - Love Theme from "Pictures of the Sea" My song pick two years ago today: Bad Medicine - Trespasser My song pick three years ago today: Styx - Man in the Wilderness My song pick four years ago today: Curved Air - Vivaldi My song pick five years ago today: Megadeth - Endgame My song pick six years ago today: Sirenia - The Other Side My song pick seven years ago today: Jethro Tull - Spiral My song pick eight years ago today: Outerstar - You Love It When It Rains

From: Album of the Year ; Year: 1997; Genre: Alternative Metal Whilst out early this morning I had some Faith No More come on the radio; as usual, it got me to pick one of their songs. After perusing their newer material I ran across this track; seemed absolutely perfect for today. Hear Last Cup of Sorrow on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Stanley Clarke - The Dancer My song pick two years ago today: Bread - Down on my Knees My song pick three years ago today: Dream Theater - Learning to Live My song pick four years ago today: Franz Schubert - D 911, Op. 89 - Die Winterreise My song pick five years ago today: Bon Jovi - Runaway My song pick six years ago today: Missing Link - Spoiled Love My song pick seven years ago today: Grace Slick - Angel of the Night My song pick eight years ago today: Don Williams - Yellow Moon

From: Out of Our Heads ; Year: 1965; Genre: Hard Rock I was talking about The Rolling Stones the other day with a family member and it got me thinking about their music again. I find it kind of funny that I've gone this long and not picked Satisfaction... it seems to be something that happens a lot with band's bigger hits; the longer I go I seem to think that I've already picked the big hits, but many times it's not the case. Anyway, this is probably one of the most iconic songs from not only the band, but I'd hazard to say it's an icon of the 20th century. Hear (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: The Sword - Apocryphon My song pick two years ago today: The Doors - Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar) My song pick three years ago today: Slade - Slam the Hammer Down My song pick four years ago today: Stahlhammer - Mensch My song pick five years ago today: Rush - Afterimage My song pick six years ago today: ...

From: Psychedelic Shack ; Year: 1970; Genre: Funk/Soul/Motown When I was doing some outdoor work I had this one pop into my mind and not go away, so I'd figured I go ahead and make it my 152nd Funky Friday pick in a row. Most would probably remember the Edwin Starr version of this anti-war song, which is definitely a great tune, but most don't realize that it was not the original. The Temptations recorded it, but was not released as a single because Motown didn't want to turn off The Temptations more conservative followers, so they went with Edwin Starr instead, which became a smash hit. In this version I love the vocals and what they're doing both in the lead and background, which is simply amazing and the music is excellently done as always. Hear War on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Eric Stuart Band - Lipstick & Barbed Wire My song pick two years ago today: Band of Horses - A Little Biblical My song pick three years ago today: Kansas ...

From: Flying Again ; Year: 1975; Genre: Country/Rock It is one of those days where I just picked something without thinking about it and happened upon The Flying Burrito Brothers. This is one off of their first album after the death of Graham Parsons and the band's reformation; it's more of a mellow and wistful song. Hear Sweet Desert Childhood on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Cream - Sunshine of Your Love My song pick two years ago today: Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit My song pick three years ago today: Stone Temple Pilots - Lady Picture Show My song pick four years ago today: Ludwid van Beethoven - Op.125 - Symphony No.9 in D-Minor My song pick five years ago today: Stormwarrior - Heading Northe My song pick six years ago today: Cab Calloway - The Jumpin' Jive (Hep-Hep!) My song pick seven years ago today: The Police - Synchronicity II My song pick eight years ago today: Eddie Money - Take Me Home Tonight

From: This is War ; Year: 2009; Genre: Alternative Rock Another "rollover" pick with it now being 3300 songs that I've blogged about; thought I needed something fitting and 30 Seconds to Mars immediately came to mind. I hadn't picked one from the band for some time, so now is a good time as ever. Plus it gives me a chance to pick up and listen to their This is War album, which is quite a bit better than the other material of theirs I've listened to prior; this is probably my favourite track thus far. Hear Night of the Hunter on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Rush - The Weapon (Part II of Fear) My song pick two years ago today: Genesis - Abacab My song pick three years ago today: Savatage - Handful of Rain My song pick four years ago today: Emerson, Lake & Palmer - The Barbarian My song pick five years ago today: Charlie Parker - Summertime My song pick six years ago today: Tarot - Gone My song pick seven years ago today: Th...

From: They're Coming to Take Me Away Ha-Haaa! ; Year: 1966; Genre: Comedy I heard this little piece for the first time in quite a while last night and I thought it would be funny to pick it. They're Coming to Take Me Away ... is definitely a funny one and the recording techniques and use of the trimeter in the syncopated vocals really sell the feeling of insanity. Although, it's quite an annoying song if someone plays it more than a couple of times. Hear They're Coming to Take Me Away Ha-Haaa! on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Hawkwind - Magnu My song pick two years ago today: Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Rockaria! My song pick three years ago today: Nirvana - Something in the Way My song pick four years ago today: Till Lindemann and Richard Kruspe (Rammstein) - Schtiel My song pick five years ago today: Queensrÿche - Revolution Calling My song pick six years ago today: Puhdys - Große Herzen My song pick seven years ago today: R...

From: Touch ; Year: 1983; Genre: New Wave/Synthpop After seeing the title to this song I immediately had it playing through my mind; I have to say it definitely brings back memories. The Eurythmics are probably one of the bands that imprinted the electronic sounds of the early 1980s on my mind. I'm actually kind of surprised I had not picked one of their songs yet; I thought I did. Anyway, I've always loved the way they balanced the overall melancholy feelings and lyrics with the stronger, and powerful aspects as well. Hear Here Comes the Rain Again on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Jefferson Airplane - Plastic Fantastic Lover My song pick two years ago today: Charles Wright & the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band - Express Yourself My song pick three years ago today: Muse - Explorers My song pick four years ago today: The Pretenders - Middle of the Road My song pick five years ago today: U2 - Where the Streets Have No Name My song pick six ye...
