3422. Gloryhammer - Rise of the Chaos Wizards

Image
From: Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards ; Year: 2015; Genre: Power Metal/Symphonic Metal I've been enjoying this album way too much lately. This song just dips its toe across the fine line between "epic" and "cheesy," but in a good way; I absolutely love it! Hear Rise of the Chaos Wizards on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Foghat - Third Time Lucky (First Time I Was a Fool) My song pick two years ago today: Béla Fleck & the Flecktones - Scratch & Sniff My song pick three years ago today: Triumph - A World of Fantasy My song pick four years ago today: Fats Waller - Jitterbug Waltz My song pick five years ago today: Jethro Tull - Pibroch (Cap in Hand) My song pick six years ago today: Ozzy Osbourne - Civilize the Universe My song pick seven years ago today: Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son My song pick eight years ago today: John Denver - The Eagle and the Hawk My song pick nine years ago today: Three Dog Night - Lia

3421. Gloryhammer - Apocalypse 1992

Image
From: Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards ; Year: 2015; Genre: Power Metal/Symphonic Metal/Progressive Metal The other day I found out about this rather interesting band and immediately fell in love with their music. Funny enough both their records are full-on concept albums complete with deep fantasy driven stories and larger than life music to go along with it. Beyond that even I absolutely love the fact how each band member portrays a character throughout the stories. To say the least this makes for some amazing, epic metal; you know, the stuff of legends. Hear Apocalypse 1992 on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Dream Theater - A Rite of Passage My song pick two years ago today: Jethro Tull - Mountain Men My song pick three years ago today: Marcus Miller - Come Together My song pick four years ago today: Journey - Don't Stop Believing My song pick five years ago today: Black Sabbath - The Mob Rules My song pick six years ago today: Roger Water

3420. Yes - Heart of the Sunrise

Image
From: Fragile ; Year: 1971; Genre: Progressive Rock Got in the mood last night into this morning for some more Yes. This is another one of their great magnum opuses, which closed out their hit album Fragile . This one's got all the musical technicality they are known for; every member really shines in this one. Hear Heart of the Sunrise on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: The Grass Roots - Lady Pleasure My song pick two years ago today: Ohio Players - Jive Turkey My song pick three years ago today: "Weird Al" Yankovic - Weasel Stomping Day My song pick four years ago today: Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Take a Pebble My song pick five years ago today: Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Tarkus My song pick six years ago today: Supertramp - Just a Normal Day My song pick seven years ago today: Northern Kings - Hello My song pick eight years ago today: Jethro Tull - Fallen On Hard Times My song pick nine years ago today: Mr. Big - Wild World

3419. Dee Clark - Raindrops

Image
From: Hold on... it's Dee Clark ; Year: 1961; Genre: R&B/Soul/Pop I had this rather melancholy pop song running through my mind most of the morning; as I normally do, I took it as a sign I should pick it. There is something timeless about this song; probably a lot of it's the subject matter and the soulful delivery of the lyrics. Hear Raindrops on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Sly and the Family Stone - Thankful N' Thoughtful My song pick two years ago today: Ugly Kid Joe - Another Beer My song pick three years ago today: Hawkwind - Neon Skyline/Lost Chronicles My song pick four years ago today: Louis Armstrong - When the Saints Go Marching In My song pick five years ago today: John Denver - Farewell Andromeda (Welcome To My Morning) My song pick six years ago today: Del Shannon - Runaway My song pick seven years ago today: Steely Dan - Black Friday My song pick eight years ago today: Ozzy Osbourne - I Just Want You My song pick n

3418. Kansas - Fight Fire With Fire

Image
From: Drastic Measures ; Year: 1983; Genre: Rock Had Kansas on my mind this morning; this early '80s hit still showed they had it. And whilst not equaling their hits of the '70s it's quite a good song in its own right. Hear Fight Fire With Fire on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Johnny Cash - Thanksgiving Prayer My song pick two years ago today: Joe Satriani - Satch Boogie My song pick three years ago today: Fates Warning - One Thousand Fires My song pick four years ago today: Dick Dale - Bandito My song pick five years ago today: Dream Theater - A Nightmare to Remember My song pick six years ago today: Bob Marley & the Wailers - Jamming My song pick seven years ago today: Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - Crossfire My song pick eight years ago today: 4 Non Blondes - What's Up?

3417. Bootsy's New Rubber Band - Funk Express Card

Image
From: Blasters of the Universe ; Year: 1993; Genre: Funk Another busy Funky Friday descended upon me; I felt like picking another super funky number from Bootsy. Hear Funk Express Card on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Marmalade - Rainbow My song pick two years ago today: Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend My song pick three years ago today: Rammstein - Rosenrot My song pick four years ago today: Count Basie - One O'Clock Jump My song pick five years ago today: Nightwish - Storytime My song pick six years ago today: Kay Kyser and His Orchestra - Praise The Lord and Pass the Ammunition My song pick seven years ago today: Nightwish feat. Tapio Wilska - The Devil & the Deep Dark Ocean My song pick eight years ago today: Mason Proffit - Two Hangmen My song pick nine years ago today: Frank Zappa - Don't Eat The Yellow Snow

3416. Led Zeppelin - Thank You

Image
From: Led Zeppelin II ; Year: 1969; Genre: Rock Drawing a bit of a blank for an apropos pick for this Thanksgiving Holiday. I happened to remember this aptly-titled classic from Led Zeppelin and I had my pick, and a good one to boot. Hear Thank You on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Helmet - Unsung My song pick two years ago today: The Who - Doctor Jekyll & Mr. Hyde My song pick three years ago today: The Jimi Hendrix Experience - All Along the Watchtower My song pick four years ago today: Billie Holiday - Summertime My song pick five years ago today: David Bowie - Young Americans My song pick six years ago today: Eric Robertson - "Spooked" on Classics My song pick seven years ago today: Antonio Salieri - Requiem in C-Minor ( Piccolo Requiem ) My song pick eight years ago today: Marmalade - Reflections of My Life My song pick nine years ago today: .38 Special - Same Old Feeling

3415. Warren Zevon - Hit Somebody! (The Hockey Song)

Image
From: My Ride's Here ; Year: 2002; Genre: Rock I was fully intending on picking another song today, however, when I saw the song I picked nine years ago I started binging on Warren Zevon, and thus, I am now picking another one of his. Amazingly though, I haven't picked one of his songs for quite some time, so it's long overdue anyway. This is one that anyone from northern climates should probably thematically identify with somewhat. Plus it's fun hearing David Letterman yelling "Hit Somebody" through the choruses. Hear Hit Somebody! (The Hockey Song) on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Danzig - Twist of Cain My song pick two years ago today: Humble Pie - Black Coffee My song pick three years ago today: Pallas - The Cross & the Crucible My song pick four years ago today: Nirvana - Come As You Are My song pick five years ago today: Hawkwind - Space Chase My song pick six years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Four Wh

3414. Quincy Jones - Killer Joe

Image
From: Walking in Space ; Year: 1969; Genre: Jazz Felt like some jazz today; after listening to a few other artists Quincy Jones just fit perfectly. This is a smooth piece of jazz with some amazing solos throughout; perfect for sitting down and being mellow to. Hear Killer Joe on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Blues Image - Lazy Day Blues My song pick two years ago today: Pendragon - The Pleasure of Hope My song pick three years ago today: Larry Graham and Graham Central Station - Scream My song pick four years ago today: Béla Fleck & the Flecktones - Stomping Grounds My song pick five years ago today: Mahavishnu Orchestra - You Know You Know My song pick six years ago today: The Kinks - Acute Schizophrenia Paranoia Blues My song pick seven years ago today: Rush - Manhattan Project My song pick eight years ago today: Andy Taylor - When the Rain Comes Down My song pick nine years ago today: Arlo Guthrie - Alice's Restaurant Massacree

3413. Jigsaw - I've Seen The Film, I've Read The Book

Image
From: Jigsaw ; Year: 1975; Genre: Pop/Rock When coming home last night I had some of Jigsaw's songs come on my playlist, and it got me wanting to pick another one of their songs. While this one's not as rousing as their normal hits, it's got a wistful and melancholy sound about it and a pretty good one. Hear I've Seen The Film, I've Read The Book on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Dio - Holy Diver My song pick two years ago today: Dazz Band - Joystick My song pick three years ago today: Black Sabbath - Iron Man My song pick four years ago today: Ella Fitzgerald - Stormy Weather My song pick five years ago today: Dead Meadow - Greensky Greenlake My song pick six years ago today: Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart My song pick seven years ago today: Duran Duran - Serious My song pick eight years ago today: Styx - Crystal Ball My song pick nine years ago today: Rush - Tom Sawyer

3412. Ozric Tentacles - Spyroid

Image
From: Curious Corn ; Year: 1997; Genre: Space Rock/Progressive Rock/Electronic Rock Kind of making a quick pick today and decided to keep with the out of this world spacy music I picked yesterday. Spyroid, which is the opening track to the Currious Corn album, is definitely a soundscape and a display of synth that would not be out of place in a science fiction movie. Hear Spyroid on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Joe Tex - I Gotcha My song pick two years ago today: Weather Report - Crystal My song pick three years ago today: Gerry Rafferty - Night Owl My song pick four years ago today: Duke Ellington - It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) My song pick five years ago today: Jefferson Airplane - Somebody to Love My song pick six years ago today: John Denver - In My Life My song pick seven years ago today: The Charlie Daniels Band - Legend of Wooley Swamp My song pick eight years ago today: The Doors - Strange Days My song pic

3411. Hawkwind - Web Weaver

Image
From: Hall of the Mountain Grill ; Year: 1974; Genre: Progressive Rock/Space Rock I had this album from Hawkwind on my mind this morning; I decided I should pick one from it as well. Some great, out-of-this-world, progressive space rock. I almost always listen to this song at the same time as the previous track on the album, D-Rider ; I'm actually surprised it didn't pick them together when I chose that one, so, I'm finally getting them both on my list. Hear Web Weaver on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: The Chamber Brothers - I Can't Turn You Loose My song pick two years ago today: Iron Maiden - Aces High My song pick three years ago today: Fairport Convention - Chelsea Morning My song pick four years ago today: Jethro Tull - Son My song pick five years ago today: Django Reinhardt & Stéphane Grappelli (Quintette du Hot Club de France) featuring Freddy Taylor - I'se a Muggin' My song pick six years ago today: Styx - Light U

3410. Amii Stewart - Knock on Wood

Image
From: Knock on Wood ; Year: 1979; Genre: Disco I was thinking about picking a couple of other songs for today's Funky Friday; but this awesome disco hit just started playing in my mind when I set out to post. Whilst not categorized as funk, it's definitely got a lot of funk in there; that beat will grab almost anyone with a pulse and get 'em moving. I remember hearing this one a lot growing up, well into the '80s and beyond. Other than the pounding and bumping beat the two other aspects that really make this song so great is Amii Stewart's commanding vocals and the way they used a slightly modified version of Steve Cropper's original "Money Lick" intro all the way the through the song, which is a massive hook. Hear Knock on Wood on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Link Wray - Comanche My song pick two years ago today: Foo Fighters - Everlong My song pick three years ago today: Rush - The Analog Kid My song pick four years ago

3409. Soundgarden - Limo Wreck

Image
From: Superunknown ; Year: 1994; Genre: Alternative Metal Got in the mood for some more 1990s music, and of course Soundgarden is probably my favourite band of that period. Limo Wreck is full of everything I love about their music; the cool time signature, the grinding Black Sabbathesque sound, the deep and meaningful lyrics, and Chris Cornell's powerful singing. No mindless mainstream pop here, only music loaded down with substance. Hear Limo Wreck on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Jane's Addiction - Jane Says My song pick two years ago today: Marillion - Bitter Suite My song pick three years ago today: Dream Theater - These Walls My song pick four years ago today: Rush - Stick it Out My song pick five years ago today: Nirvana - About a Girl My song pick six years ago today: Forest - Gypsy Girl & Rambleaway My song pick seven years ago today: Steely Dan - Caves of Altamira My song pick eight years ago today: Free - All Right Now My

3408. AC/DC - Big Guns

Image
From: Last Action Hero (soundtrack) ; Year: 1993; Genre: Hard Rock/Metal I don't know why, but I had this song on my mind this morning and as per usual, I am picking it. Whilst I'm not a big fan of the movie, the soundtrack was amazing; there's a lot of great music to be heard, especially this one. Hear Big Gun on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: The Yardbirds - For Your Love My song pick two years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Thank You For The Feeling My song pick three years ago today: Symphonic Theater of Dreams - The Ministry of Lost Souls My song pick four years ago today: R.E.M. - What's the Frequency, Kenneth? My song pick five years ago today: Steely Dan - Bodhisattva My song pick six years ago today: UFO - Rock Bottom My song pick seven years ago today: Jethro Tull - Baker St. Muse My song pick eight years ago today: Toto - Hold the Line My song pick nine years ago today: Jethro Tull - Kissing Willie

3407. The Beach Boys - I Can Hear Music

Image
From: 20/20 ; Year: 1969; Genre: Rock/Pop Heard this song, which is one of my favourites from The Beach Boys, come on my playlist last night. I was absolutely surprised that I hadn't chosen it yet; definitely rectifying that with today's pick. I love the way they use their signature tight harmonic sound whilst keeping the R&B aspects of the original Ronettes version as well as the song's soul inact. Hear I Can Hear Music on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Earthless - Equus October My song pick two years ago today: Rammstein - Weiner Blut My song pick three years ago today: Miles Davis - Funky Tonk My song pick four years ago today: Pallas - The Last Angel My song pick five years ago today: John Dowland - Flow My Tears (Lachrimae Pavane) My song pick six years ago today: Slaughter - Days Gone By My song pick seven years ago today: Johnny Rivers - Poor Side of Town My song pick eight years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Sta

3406. Santo & Johnny - Moonlight Serenade

Image
From: Tenderly ; Year: 1970; Genre: Swing Jazz/Pop With all the talk of the spectacular Supermoon happening tonight I thought I'd go ahead and pick one that was appropriate. This take on the popular standard swing ballad from the pen of Glenn Miller really is an interesting arrangement. Their infusion of Hawaiian music really gives it even more of an exotic feel than it had before; like sitting on a quiet tropical beach enjoying the scenery with your mate by the light of the moon. A very peaceful and lovely tune indeed. Hear Moonlight Serenade on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Ian Anderson - Old Black Cat My song pick two years ago today: Parliament - Dr. Funkenstein My song pick three years ago today: Pat Benatar - Rated X My song pick four years ago today: Cab Calloway - Learnin' the Blues My song pick five years ago today: Steve Vai - Bad Horsie My song pick six years ago today: Fats Domino - Ain't That a Shame My song pick seven year

3405. ABBA - Head Over Heels

Image
From: The Visitors ; Year: 1981; Genre: Rock/SynthPop I was in the mood for something from ABBA on this Sunday. Never really listened to the rather uninspiring lyrics, but I've always loved the music and the way this song was constructed and arranged; it's quite complex for a 'pop' song. The use of the tango beat in particular really helps to make it so danceable whilst also keeping it interesting for the musical ear. Hear Head Over Heels on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Dr. John - Right Place Wrong Time My song pick two years ago today: Billy Joel - All for Leyna My song pick three years ago today: Santo & Johnny - Adventures in Paradise My song pick four years ago today: Megadeth - Blackmail the Universe My song pick five years ago today: Black 47 - Fire of Freedom My song pick six years ago today: Aerosmith - Amazing My song pick seven years ago today: Banchee - Beautifully Day My song pick eight years ago today: The Cure - Bu

3404. Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah

Image
From: Various Positions ; Year: 1984; Genre: Folk Rock/Pop I realize I'm a day late for picking one from Cohen, since he passed away the other day , but I didn't want to break my streak of Funky Fridays and plus, today seems like a better day to pick this, one of his most famous songs anyway; Woordenaar already did so on his blog . I admit that I'm not well-versed in his music outside of this song, but I know I've heard many others he's written over the years; especially ones recorded by countless artists. Suffice it to say we lost an incredible artist whose impact will continue to be felt for many years to come. Hear Hallelujah on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Missing Link - Time Will Change My song pick two years ago today: Ian Anderson - The Engineer My song pick three years ago today: The Royal Philharmonic - Limelight My song pick four years ago today: George Gershwin - Rhapsody in Blue My song pick five years ago today: Rammstei

3403. Fatback - Gotta Get My Hands On Some (Money)

Image
From: Hot Box ; Year: 1980; Genre: Funk/Disco I was planning on picking something P-Funk again for this Funky Friday , but after hearing this song earlier today I knew I had my pick. With it having that later disco sound makes it very danceable and fun to listen to as well; I just love that groove. Hear Gotta Get My Hands On Some (Money) on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Forest - Autumn Childhood My song pick two years ago today: Alestorm - 1741 (The Battle of Cartagena) My song pick three years ago today: Genesis - Ripple My song pick four years ago today: Joachim Witt - Goldener Reiter My song pick five years ago today: Savatage - Memory My song pick six years ago today: Billy Joel - Goodnight Saigon My song pick seven years ago today: S Sgt Barry Sadler - Ballad of the Green Berets My song pick eight years ago today: Pink Floyd - On the Turning Away My song pick nine years ago today: ABBA - Soldiers

3402. Elton John - Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding

Image
From: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road ; Year: 1973; Genre: Progressive Rock Still have this great album on my mind today, so I'm picking another from of it. This medley is probably my favourite of all of Elton John's work. It wisely/skillfully fuses one of his most progressive and symphonic pieces with a straight-ahead rocker, which made it not only have a wide appeal, but got it played on the radio to boot. Hear Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Paco de Lucía - La Barrosa (alegrías) My song pick two years ago today: Jon Oliva's Pain - I Fear You My song pick three years ago today: Soundgarden - Blow Up the Outside World My song pick four years ago today: Genesis - For Absent Friends My song pick five years ago today: Santo & Johnny - Teardrop My song pick six years ago today: Rammstein - Bück Dich My song pick seven years ago today: Lulu - To Sir With Love My song pick eight years ago today: Primus

3401. Elton John - Saturday's Alright for Fighting

Image
From: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road ; Year: 1973; Genre: Hard Rock I thought I'd already chosen this track at some point in the past, so I thought I would go ahead and fix it. One of Elton John's harder rockers is certain to make you get up and move. Hear Saturday's Alright for Fighting on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Laura Branigan - Gloria My song pick two years ago today: The Zombies - Care of Cell 44 My song pick three years ago today: Band of Horses - The Great Salt Lake My song pick four years ago today: Stahlhammer - Eisenherz My song pick five years ago today: Exist†Trace - RESONANCE My song pick six years ago today: Three Dog Night - One Man Band My song pick seven years ago today: The Eagles - Outlaw Man My song pick eight years ago today: Def Leppard - Lets Get Rocked My song pick nine years ago today: Alabama - Roll On ( Eighteen Wheeler )

3400. The Nice - Azrial (Angel of Death)

Image
From: The Thoughts of Emerlist Davjack ; Year: 1967; Genre: Progressive Rock/Psychedelic Rock Made it all the way to my 3400th pick today; this "rollover" pick kind of snuck up on me, so I kind of had to just pick one from a band that was on my mind. This was the B-Side off of The Nice's first single; an interesting piece of progressive rock from the genre's infancy. Hear Azrial (Angel of Death) on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: U2 featuring B.B. King - When Love Comes to Town My song pick two years ago today: Alice in Chains - I Stay Away My song pick three years ago today: Jaco Pastorius (featuring Sam & Dave) - Come Over, Come Over My song pick four years ago today: Chet Atkins - Whispering My song pick five years ago today: Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall, Parts 1-3 My song pick six years ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - X-Ray Eyes My song pick seven years ago today: Alton Ellis - Sunday Coming My song pick eight years

3399. Nena - ? (Fragezeichen)

Image
From: ? ; Year: 1984; Genre: Neue Deutsche Welle I don't know why it is that I'm picking this one; mostly for the vocals and music, the lyrics are... yeah; a bit self-absorbed and emo, but whatever. It's a young and raw song; and a good piece of mid 1980s German new wave. Hear ? (Fragezeichen) on YouTube. Hear the English version of ? on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Rush - Mission My song pick two years ago today: Amnesty - Love Fades My song pick three years ago today: Gerry Rafferty - Days Gone Down (Still Got The Light In Your Eyes) My song pick four years ago today: Tommy James - Mirage My song pick five years ago today: The Rolling Stones - In Another Land My song pick six years ago today: Iron Maiden - Satellite 15... The Final Frontier My song pick seven years ago today: Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Hold on Tight / Epilogue My song pick eight years ago today: C.W. McCall - Wolf Creek Pass My song pick nine years ago tod

3398. America - Man's Road

Image
From: The Last Unicorn Soundtrack ; Year: 1982; Genre: Folk Rock/Soft Rock The other day Woordenaar picked one from America and it got me wanting to choose something from the band. This one comes from the animated classic The Last Unicorn , which is a movie I still cherish to some point from my childhood. What I loved about America's contribution to the soundtrack is that their songs work excellently with the film, but also by themselves. Man's Road is my favourite song they did; while it has that soft/mellow " yacht rock " that they were known for at the time, this one has some great arrangement and an overall dark and brooding feeling that is somewhat mixed with a majestic and upbeat sound thanks to their use of a mix of minor, major, augmented, and diminished chords. Hear Man's Road on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Bernard Wright – Haboglabotribin’ My song pick two years ago today: Meat Loaf - I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won&#

3397. Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Jeremy Bender

Image
From: Tarkus ; Year: 1971; Genre: Progressive Rock Got in the mood for something from EL&P this morning. This is, strangely enough, a short and sweet piece from the band. I love the way they added their arrangements around the ragtime piano; old-timey meets loud prog rock band. Hear Jeremy Bender on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Peter, Paul & Mary - I Dig Rock And Roll Music My song pick two years ago today: Ozzy Osbourne - So Tired My song pick three years ago today: Mastodon - Iron Tusk My song pick four years ago today: Rammstein - Rammlied My song pick five years ago today: Zombie Nation - Kernkraft 400 My song pick six years ago today: Duke Ellington & His Orchestra - Ko-Ko My song pick seven years ago today: Rush - Bastille Day My song pick eight years ago today: The Steve Miller Band - Brave New World My song pick nine years ago today: C.W. McCall - Convoy

3396. Earth, Wind & Fire - Back on the Road

Image
From: Faces ; Year: 1980; Genre: R&B/Funk I needed something totally positive and out of this world for this, my 165th consecutive Funky Friday . As always, Earth, Wind & Fire is one of the places that delivers in spades. This track has that funky upbeat feel and sound that they're known for, but as addition you get some blazing guitar leads played by Steve Lukather; an excellent match. Hear Back on the Road on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Cinnamon Girl My song pick two years ago today: Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Another Heart Breaks My song pick three years ago today: Jethro Tull - Critique Oblique My song pick four years ago today: Hawkwind - Adjust Me My song pick five years ago today: Frank Zappa - Treacherous Cretins My song pick six years ago today: Charlie Barnet & His Orchestra - Skyliner My song pick seven years ago today: Santana - Oye Como Va My song pick eight years ago today: Joe Wa

3395. Guns N' Roses - Patience

Image
From: G N'R Lies ; Year: 1989; Genre: Rock/Soft Rock When out and about earlier this one came on the radio, and since I haven't picked one from GN'R for a while now I thought I would make this acoustic ballad my Thursday pick. Hear Patience on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Yes - It Was All We Knew My song pick two years ago today: Billy Joel - Worse Comes to Worse My song pick three years ago today: Marillion - Assassing My song pick four years ago today: Ian Anderson - Kismet in Suburbia My song pick five years ago today: Hawkwind - Fable of a Failed Race My song pick six years ago today: Billy Joel - It's Still Rock and Roll to Me My song pick seven years ago today: Daft Punk - One More Time My song pick eight years ago today: Al Stewart - Time Passages My song pick nine years ago today: Stealer's Wheel - Star

3394. Vital Tech Tones - Crash Course

Image
From: Vital Tech Tones ; Year: 1998; Genre: Progressive Metal/Jazz Fusion On a whim I checked out this super group project; I admit I hadn't heard them prior, but was immediately blown away by the sound I was not expecting on this song in particular. It reminds me somewhat of a massively jazzed up Dream Theater or Queensrÿche, but that might just be me. The rest of the album is more what I was expecting, but still a bit different. Hear Crash Course on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Primus - Poetry and Prose My song pick two years ago today: Jethro Tull - Budapest My song pick three years ago today: Ozark Mountain Daredevils - If You Wanna Get to Heaven My song pick four years ago today: Dream Theater - Lie My song pick five years ago today: Aerosmith - Home Tonight My song pick six years ago today: Jethro Tull - Overseer Overture / Flight from Lucifer My song pick seven years ago today: The Beatles - Think for Yourself My song pick eight years

3393. Yes - Step Beyond

Image
From: Heaven & Earth ; Year: 2014; Genre: Progressive Rock No reason for picking this one other than I just feel like it. For me this one's all about the music and the way the song was arranged. I hear a lot of their 70s sound in this one mixed with some reggae/ska and such; I especially love the keyboards on this one. Hear Step Beyond on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Creed - Torn My song pick two years ago today: Steeleye Span - The Fox My song pick three years ago today: Victor Wooten - When I Want to Get Funky My song pick four years ago today: Curved Air - What Happens When You Blow Yourself Up? My song pick five years ago today: Megadeth - We The People My song pick six years ago today: Rush - Red Barchetta My song pick seven years ago today: Bob Dylan - Tangled Up In Blue My song pick eight years ago today: Supertramp - Take the Long Way Home My song pick nine years ago today: Béla Fleck and the Flecktones - Vix 9
