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

From: Last Days and Time ; Year: 1972; Genre: Funk For the last couple of days I had Earth, Wind & Fire on my mind for this Funky Friday pick with this super funky track in particular. Hear Time Is On Your Side on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Exile - Please Be There My song pick two years ago today: Hank Williams - Hey Good Lookin' My song pick three years ago today: Queensrÿche - Speak My song pick four years ago today: The Beach Boys - God Only Knows My song pick five years ago today: Hawkwind - Living on a Knife Edge My song pick six years ago today: Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) - Graveyard Train My song pick seven years ago today: Sethian - Blood Calling My song pick eight years ago today: Azteca - You Can't Take The Funk Out Of Me My song pick nine years ago today: Bryan Adams - Run To You

From: THRAK ; Year: 1995; Genre: Progressive Rock Listening to some somewhat later material from King Crimson today; definitely picking one of the songs I was listening to in particular. I love how Fripp and company didn't really try to reinvent themselves and be something they're not, unlike many of the progressive rock granddaddies did back in the 1990s. The only thing different about this track in particular is that it does have a bit of an Alice 'N Chains/Soundgardebesque groove to it; but that's mostly coming from Tony Levin's monstrous bass playing. It can also be argued that they influenced a lot of "Grunge" musicians with their earlier work, the Red album in particular, so it could be very much the other way around I guess; who knows. Anyway, Dinosaur really has everything a fan would want to hear from them and then some; great track. Watch a live performance of Dinosaur on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Molly Hatchet - Bot...

From: Once More 'Round the Sun ; Year: 2014; Genre: Progressive Metal It's one of those days thus far, so I just "spun" the wheel so to speak and landed on something from Mastodon; I haven't picked one from them in a bit and I love the band, so it works. This is a wee bit different from wot I am used to hearing from Mastodon, but it's not a bad thing at all; definitely a good one to headband to. Hear High Road on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: A-Ha - Love is Reason My song pick two years ago today: Bob Seger - Turn the Page My song pick three years ago today: Rage Against the Machine - The Ghost of Tom Joad My song pick four years ago today: Dire Straits - Walk of Life My song pick five years ago today: The Foggy Mountain Boys (Flatt & Scruggs) - Cripple Creek My song pick six years ago today: Queensrÿche - Fear City Slide My song pick seven years ago today: Dream Theater - Light Fuse and Get Away My song pick eight y...

From: Crest of a Knave ; Year: 1987; Genre: Progressive Rock Farm on the Freeway is one of the handful of tracks that sound very similar to Dire Straits; a lot of it was the focus on Martin Barre's clean guitar playing and Ian Anderson having to sing in a lower register. However, the musicality, dynamics, and subject matter are also pretty close as well. All in all this is a very good song and would stand out more if it wasn't surrounded by so many great tracks on one of their better records. Hear Farm on the Freeway on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Quasar - The Loreli My song pick two years ago today: Def Leppard - Rock On My song pick three years ago today: The Cosmic Sound Orchestra - Fly Some Funk Up to the Moon My song pick four years ago today: Laura Branigan - Self Control My song pick five years ago today: Yes - Starship Trooper My song pick six years ago today: Buffalo Springfield - Mr. Soul My song pick seven years ago today: Chuck...

From: The Bridge ; Year: 1986; Genre: Pop/Rock/Jazz While playing around on my bass I happened to find this song by accident through messing with power chords. Anyway, I thought this very jazzy pop piece would make a great pick for today; I love hearing the incomparable Ron Carter on bass on this track. Hear Big Man on Mulberry Street on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: INXS - Suicide Blonde My song pick two years ago today: Pleasure - Bouncy Lady My song pick three years ago today: Pearl Jam - Once My song pick four years ago today: Rush - Lock and Key My song pick five years ago today: Porcupine Tree - Time Flies My song pick six years ago today: David Bowie - Life on Mars? My song pick seven years ago today: Lorenzo Barcelata - El Cascabel My song pick eight years ago today: Jethro Tull - Too Old To Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young To Die My song pick nine years ago today: The Platters - Twilight Time

From: The Wedge ; Year: 1986; Genre: Progressive Rock Had some "second wave" progressive rock on my mind today; I went to one of my favourite bands of that ilk: Pallas. I love the big arena sound in this one that only increases their already large and technical sound. Hear Dance Through the Fire on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: King Crimson - Matte Kudasai My song pick two years ago today: Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away My song pick three years ago today: Steely Dan - Reelin' in the Years My song pick four years ago today: Led Zeppelin - All of My Love My song pick five years ago today: Shocking Blue - Never Marry a Railroad Man My song pick six years ago today: Hawkwind - Mirror of Illusion My song pick seven years ago today: Louis Armstrong and his Hot Seven - Melancholy Blues My song pick eight years ago today: Lynyrd Skynyrd - That Smell My song pick nine years ago today: Pink Floyd - Brain Damage/Eclipse

From: Leftoverture ; Year: 1976; Genre: Progressive Rock Was in the mood for some more Kansas this morning; picking one of my favourites off of their breakout Leftoverture album. The song Miracles Out Of Nowhere is one of the masterpieces off the album; one of their best. Hear Miracles Out Of Nowhere on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Wilson Pickett - I'm a Midnight Mover My song pick two years ago today: Beat Crusaders - Slip Out My song pick three years ago today: Boston - The Launch/Cool the Engines My song pick four years ago today: Stratovarius - Dreamspace My song pick five years ago today: Queensrÿche - Promised Land My song pick six years ago today: Ed Bogas & Merl Saunders - The Riot My song pick seven years ago today: J. S. Bach - BWV 870 - Prelude and Fugue No. 1 in C major , from The Well-Tempered Clavier Book No. 2 My song pick eight years ago today: Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell My song pick nine years ago today: The Spenc...

From: Both Barrels ; Year: 1976; Genre: Country/Funk For those not acquainted with him, Jerry Reed plays a lot of proper funk for his very unique and complex sound. Rooster Jones is another one of his songs in the vein of his widely loved hit Amos Moses ; this one in my opinion has just as much of a funky beat and vibe. Anyway, so I'm choosing this ballad about a mean bootlegger today's Funky Friday pick. Hear Rooster Jones on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: The Steve Miller Band - Journey From Eden My song pick two years ago today: Kansas - Dust in the Wind My song pick three years ago today: King Crimson - Red My song pick four years ago today: Sky - March to the Scaffold My song pick five years ago today: Rhapsody of Fire - Holy Thunderforce My song pick six years ago today: Guided by Voices - Everybody Thinks I’m a Raincloud (When I'm Not Looking) My song pick seven years ago today: Gorō Yamaguchi - Tsuru No Sugomori (Crane's Ne...

From: Rockin' Into the Night ; Year: 1980; Genre: Hard Rock/Southern Rock I was thinking about it today and I realized I had not chosen this song yet; the title track from the very first .38 Special album that I owned. Rockin' Into the Night is probably one of my "second tier" favourite songs from the band; it's absolutely a crowd pleaser with its raw hard-rock sound. Hear Rockin' Into the Night on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: The Miracles - You Really Got a Hold on Me My song pick two years ago today: Fleetwood Mac - Think About Me My song pick three years ago today: Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Jerusalem My song pick four years ago today: Marillion - Kayleigh My song pick five years ago today: Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV 1062 - Concerto in C-Minor For Two Harpsichords My song pick six years ago today: Rammstein - Feuerräder My song pick seven year ago today: Igor Stravinsky - Rite of Spring - Sacrificial Dance My song ...

From: The Real Thing ; Year: 1989; Genre: Alternative Metal/Funk Metal Since hearing one of their songs recently I've been meaning to blog about them. Every time I hear this record I'm always taken aback at how experimental and diverse the music was for the time; many others took note. Hear Falling to Pieces on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: The Presidents of the United States of America - Peaches My song pick two years ago today: The Rolling Stones - Midnight Rambler My song pick three years ago today: The Five Stairsteps - O-o-o Child My song pick four years ago today: The Delgados - Mr. Blue Sky My song pick five years ago today: Muse - Citizen Erased My song pick six years ago today: The Darkness - Is It Just Me My song pick seven years ago today: Blind Willie Johnson - Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground My song pick eight years ago today: Devo - Come Back Jonee My song pick nine years ago today: Weather Report - A Remark You ...

From: Ritual de lo Habitual ; Year: 1990; Genre: Alternative Metal/Funk Metal I had a bunch of their music on my mind this morning, so I'm picking one of the songs from inside my head. Nothing else to say but this is the early 1990 incarnate; a magical time. Hear Stop! on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Soundgarden - The Telephantasm My song pick two years ago today: Mr. Big - Mr. Never in a Million Years My song pick three years ago today: Dayton Sidewinders - Funky in Here My song pick four years ago today: Heart - Fanatic My song pick five years ago today: Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love My song pick six years ago today: Queensrÿche - Roads to Madness My song pick seven years ago today: Jethro Tull - Roll Yer Own My song pick eight years ago today: Naturally 7 - Wall of Sound My song pick nine years ago today: Nightwish - Bye Bye Beautiful

From: Chuck Berry is on Top ; Year: 1959 (1955); Genre: Rock 'N Roll The other day rock pioneer Chuck Berry passed away at the age of 90; he might be gone, but cannot ever be forgotten. After all, his music is floating through space on the Voyager 1 Gold Record; maybe there's some space aliens out there enjoying his music, you never know. Anyway, this was one of the first of his songs to hit my mind that I had not picked yet, so I'm adding it. Hear Maybellene on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Maddy Prior - Rollercoaster My song pick two years ago today: Bootsy's Rubber Band - Stretchin' Out (In a Rubber Band) My song pick three years ago today: Led Zeppelin - When the Levee Breaks My song pick four years ago today: Hawkwind - Wind of Change My song pick five years ago today: Alestorm - Set Sail to Conquer My song pick six years ago today: Pee Wee King and his Golden West Cowboys - The Ghost and Honest Joe My song pick seven years ...

From: Nuages - Tears ; Year: 2006 (1947); Genre: Gypsy Jazz For no reason whatsoever I had Django Reinhardt and company on my mind; you know wot that means.... Tears has to be one of my favourites from the famous Quintette; it's just so beautiful and haunting, this song. Hear Tears on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Dave Edmunds - Slipping Away My song pick two years ago today: Mountain - Mississippi Queen My song pick three years ago today: Rod Stewart - You Wear it Well My song pick four years ago today: Steeleye Span - The Twelve Witches My song pick five years ago today: Georg Philipp Telemann - TWV 55:C3 - Wassermusik - Hamburger Ebbe und Flut My song pick six years ago today: Steve Winwood - The Finer Things My song pick seven years ago today: Tarja Turunen - I Walk Alone My song pick eight years ago today: Link Wray - Rumble My song pick nine years ago today: The Carter Family - Wildwood Flower

From: Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe ; Year: 1989; Genre: Progressive Rock Was thinking about ABWH only studio album today; I figured I'd pick one from it. Quartet has a '70s Yes feel to it; especially the more mellow selections, which doesn't surprise since this band is essentially Yes minus Chris Squire. Hear Quartet on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Mahavishnu Orchestra - Radio-Activity My song pick two years ago today: Toto - Stranger in Town My song pick three years ago today: Dream Theater - Hell's Kitchen My song pick four years ago today: Styx - Come Sail Away My song pick five years ago today: Alestorm - You Are a Pirate My song pick six years ago today: Bill Evans Trio - Waltz for Debbie My song pick seven years ago today: The Box Tops - The Letter My song pick eight years ago today: Azteca - Mazatlan My song pick nine years ago today: Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) - Have You Ever Seen the Rain?

From: Attention All Personnel ; Year: 2008; Genre: Celtic Rock/Funk/Jazz Fusion Happy Saint Patrick's Day! I had a quandary today as it is also Friday, which means I thought I might have to choose between continuing my consecutive Funky Friday picks, (which now stand at 184), and my normal St. Paddy's Day pick. Well, as it happens that there are Celtic Rock Fusion bands out there that use funk as a medium; Croft No Five was one of them. Whilst not Irish, their Scottish-Celtic sound is appropriate. Hear The Man of Arran on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Cruachan - The Morrigan's Call My song pick two years ago today: Flogging Molly - (No More) Paddy's Lament My song pick three years ago today: Black 47 - The Big Fella My song pick four years ago today: Frank Mackey & the Keltic Cowboys - Kiss My Irish Ass My song pick five years ago today: Dropkick Murphys - Black Velvet Band My song pick six years ago today: Black 47 - Green Suede ...

From: The World Needs a Hero ; Year: 2001; Genre: Thrash Metal Needed some apropos heavy music to lose myself in and headbang to today; this was the first song to come to mind; I love it. Hear Dread and the Fugitive Mind on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Back My Bullets My song pick two years ago today: The Castaways - Liar, Liar My song pick three years ago today: AC/DC - Back in Black My song pick four years ago today: Porcupine Tree - Mother & Child Divided My song pick five years ago today: The Jimmy Castor Bunch - Space Age My song pick six years ago today: Bass Extremes - Mocha Soca My song pick seven years ago today: Rush - Fly By Night My song pick eight years ago today: Jon Hendricks - I'll Bet You Thought I'd Never Find You My song pick nine years ago today: Tom Petty - Free Fallin'

From: Ted Nugent ; Year: 1975; Genre: Hard Rock Off and on over the last couple of days I've had this one running through my mind; as always I figured I'd pick it. Like him or not you cannot deny that Ted Nugent is one heck of a musician and he definitely put his mark on popular music with that great guitar playing. I love that hard, grinding groove that lays down the foundation for the rest; a classic for sure. Hear Stranglehold on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Muse - Revolt My song pick two years ago today: Vixen - Edge of a Broken Heart My song pick three years ago today: Rush - Mystic Rhythms My song pick four years ago today: The Moody Blues - Dr. Livingstone, I Presume My song pick five years ago today: Django Reinhardt & Stéphane Grappelli (Quintette du Hot Club de France) - Chasing Shadows My song pick six years ago today: The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Take Five My song pick seven years ago today: Rammstein - Ich Tu Dir Weh My so...

From: Hard Attack ; Year: 1972; Genre: Hard Rock/Metal Recently checked out this early"proto-metal" band and to say the least I liked what I heard. They've got a lot of energy and excellent musicianship/technicality throughout this track. Hear Learning to Die on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Emerson, Lake & Palmer - When the Apple Blossoms Bloom in the Windmills of Your Mind, I'll Be Your Valentine My song pick two years ago today: Yello - Oh Yeah My song pick three years ago today: Wilson Pickett - Take That Pollution Out Your Throat My song pick four years ago today: Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody My song pick five years ago today: The Doobie Brothers - Listen to the Music My song pick six years ago today: Queen - Bijou My song pick seven years ago today: Asia - Heat of the Moment My song pick eight years ago today: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Aeroplane My song pick nine years ago today: Joni Mitchell - Coyote ...

From: Why Are You Ok ; Year: 2016; Genre: Alternative Rock/Indie Rock Was drawing a bit of a black today for my song pick, however I remembered lately that my phone has been playing a bit of Band of Horses' music, so I thought I'd go ahead and pick another one. Hear Lying Under Oak on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Emerson, Lake & Palmer - The Three Fates My song pick two years ago today: Dayton Sidewinders - Slippin' Into Darkness My song pick three years ago today: Pink Floyd - Keep Talking My song pick four years ago today: Bud Tutmarc - Hilo March My song pick five years ago today: Soundgarden - No Wrong No Right My song pick six years ago today: Jethro Tull - Wond'ring Aloud My song pick seven years ago today: Joe Walsh (The Eagles) - In The City My song pick eight years ago today: Pearls Before Swine - (Oh Dear) Miss Morse My song pick nine years ago today: Lou Reed - Walk on the Wildside

From: Wolfmother ; Year: 2005; Genre: Hard Rock/Metal Been a mondo busy day thus far, so I'm making somewhat of an quick pick. Like most of their material, this one has a very 70's hard rock and somewhat " Zeppelinish " feel to it; a good straight up heavy rocker. Hear Joker & the Thief on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Peter Gabriel - Digging in the Dirt My song pick two years ago today: Slaughter - Up All Night My song pick three years ago today: The Steve Miller Band - Wide River My song pick four years ago today: Stratovarius - Fire Dance My song pick five years ago today: Jethro Tull - Aeroplane My song pick six years ago today: Styx - Renegade My song pick seven years ago today: The Jaggerz - The Rapper My song pick eight years ago today: Sha Na Na - Blue Moon My song pick nine years ago today: The Moody Blues - Your Wildest Dreams

From: Simple Mission ; Year: 1992; Genre: Rock Was thinking about this one from Glass Tiger today, figured I'd go ahead and pick it. A bit heavier than the songs they did that were huge successes, which is a good thing in my book. Hear Animal Heart on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Sly and the Family Stone - Can't Strain My Brain My song pick two years ago today: Paris - 1 in 10 My song pick three years ago today: Jethro Tull - Look Into the Sun My song pick four years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Free Wheelin' My song pick five years ago today: Rush - Limbo My song pick six years ago today: Stevie Wonder - Superstition My song pick seven years ago today: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Soul To Squeeze My song pick eight years ago today: Electric Light Orchestra - Fire On High My song pick nine years ago today: The Polyphonic Spree - It's The Sun

From: Johnny Winter And ; Year: 1970; Genre: Blues Rock/Funk Not truly a "funk" song, but rather a tribute to the genre, although it does have a rather funky rhythm and beat. Anyway, this is another one I ran into the other day whilst listening to Johnny Winter and thought that at least in title it would be an excellent Funky Friday pick. You gotta love that guitar solo; both Winter and Rick Derringer shred it up on this track. Hear Funky Music on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Marillion - Sugar Mice My song pick two years ago today: Pink Floyd - Money My song pick three years ago today: American Breed - Bend Me, Shape Me My song pick four years ago today: Jethro Tull - Cat's Squirrel My song pick five years ago today: Amon Amarth - A Beast Am I My song pick six years ago today: Steve Vai - Little Green Men My song pick seven years ago today: Fairport Convention - Maddy Groves My song pick eight years ago today: Billy Joel - Allentown ...

From: Night Owl ; Year: 1979; Genre: Rock I absolutely love the bluesiness throughout this song and the way it was constructed. Of course what makes it all that much better is Raphael Ravenscroft's solo on the sax. Hear The Tourist on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Loudness - Let It Go My song pick two years ago today: Carmen - She Flew Across the Room My song pick three years ago today: California Guitar Trio - Ghost Riders on the Storm My song pick four years ago today: Al Di Meola and Steve Vai - Race with the Devil on Turkish Highway My song pick five years ago today: Nightwish - Beauty of the Beast My song pick six years ago today: L'Arc~en~Ciel - Spirit Dreams Inside My song pick seven years ago today: Led Zeppelin - The Battle Of Evermore My song pick eight years ago today: Jethro Tull - Black Satin Dancer My song pick nine years ago today: Rush - Limelight

From: Saints & Sinners ; Year: 1974; Genre: Blues Rock/Hard Rock Last night I happened to catch this song in a movie playing in the background; since I hadn't picked one yet from guitar maestro extraordinaire Johnny Winter I thought it would make a perfect pick. Blinded by Love has a unique blend of his blues-rock stylings with some great hard, driving rock. Hear Blinded by Love on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: The Moody Blues - In the Beginning/Lovely to See You Again My song pick two years ago today: Ian Anderson - Tripudium Ad Bellum My song pick three years ago today: Alice in Chains - Rooster My song pick four years ago today: Steve Vai - For the Love of God My song pick five years ago today: Mastodon - Seabeast My song pick six years ago today: Vangelis - Blade Runner (End Titles) My song pick seven years ago today: Karussell - Wer Die Rose Ehrt My song pick eight years ago today: The Delgados - Accused of Stealing My song pick ...

From: The Midnight ; Year: 2014; Genre: Rock/New Wave/Synthpop Happened to be thinking of this "Neo-Synthpop" or "New Retro Wave" band The Midnight again today; as usual I'm picking one from the artist on my mind. It certainly is interesting to hear new music that sounds like it came from '82 or thereabout; something different, but strangely familiar.... Hear Gloria on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Rammstein - Stein um Stein My song pick two years ago today: Porcupine Tree - Start of Something Beautiful My song pick three years ago today: Parliament - Funkentelechy My song pick four years ago today: Aerosmith - Make It My song pick five years ago today: The Rolling Stones - Beast of Burden My song pick six years ago today: Modest Mouse - Float On My song pick seven years ago today: Eric Burdon & The Animals - When I Was Young My song pick eight years ago today: Stevie Nicks - Edge of Seventeen My song pick nine...

From: Empire ; Year: 1990; Genre: Progressive Metal I had this, the title track from Queensrÿche's Empire album on my mind this morning and decided on picking it. Hear Empire on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Pendragon - Fly High, Fall Far My song pick two years ago today: Luther Davis Group - Keep On Dancing My song pick three years ago today: Tarot - Wings of Darkness My song pick four years ago today: John Denver - Shanghai Breezes My song pick five years ago today: Aphrodite's Child - The Beast My song pick six years ago today: Duran Duran - Lonely In Your Nightmare My song pick seven years ago today: Jethro Tull - Dogs in the Midwinter My song pick eight years ago today: John Denver - Season Suite: Late Winter, Early Spring (When Everybody Goes To Mexico) My song pick nine years ago today: César Antonovich Cui - Orientale

From: Not of this World ; Year: 2001; Genre: Progressive Rock Just in the mood for some Pendragon today; this one, which has a decidedly Pink Floydish feel to it, really fit my mood the best. Great band, great music. Hear If I Were The Wind (and you were the rain) on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Jethro Tull - Flying Dutchman My song pick two years ago today: Stone Temple Pilots - Vasoline My song pick three years ago today: Bruce Hornsby and the Range - Mandolin Rain My song pick four years ago today: George Strait - Ocean Front Property My song pick five years ago today: April Wine - Future Tense My song pick six years ago today: The Darkness - Hazel Eyes My song pick seven years ago today: The O'Jays - Back Stabbers My song pick eight years ago today: Tarja Turunen - Enough My song pick nine years ago today: Modest Petrovitch Mussorgsky - Night on Bald Mountain

From: Dystopia ; Year: 2016; Genre: Thrash Metal Finally getting to check out Megadeth's most recent album, Dystopia , and I can say without a doubt that it's up there with their best. I normally go to the longest track first when sampling an album and I happened to hit one of the best songs on the record first this time; this one's definitely a must for any Megadeth or metal fan. The great music and haunting, deep lyrics; we're certainly blessed to have Dave Mustaine and his band still kicking tail and writing great music. Hear Poisonous Shadows on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Miles Davis - Aïda My song pick two years ago today: James Blunt - So Long, Jimmy My song pick three years ago today: Alestorm - Death Throes of the Terrorsquid My song pick four years ago today: Of Monsters and Men - Mountain Sound My song pick five years ago today: Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast My song pick six years ago today: Larry Graham & Grah...

From: Soul Heart Transplant: The Lamp Sessions ; Year: 2003 (1969); Genre: Funk/Soul Another Funky Friday ! I was introduced to this band through a video game and have loved their music ever since. This is another one of those funk songs that grooves really well and is just a load of fun all the way around. You gotta love that organ leading the way, and that rhythm section... oh yeah. Hear Soul Heart Transplant on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Pallas - Cut and Run My song pick two years ago today: Sky - Dies Irae My song pick three years ago today: Buddy Holly - Crying, Waiting, Hoping My song pick four years ago today: Waylander - Erdath My song pick five years ago today: Jim Croce - Workin' at the Car Wash Blues My song pick six years ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - Flaming Telepaths My song pick seven years ago today: AC/DC - Carry Me Home My song pick eight years ago today: The Eagles - Get Over It My song pick nine years ago today: Mily ...

From: Second Helping ; Year: 1974; Genre: Southern Rock Over the last few days I've been listening to actual radio in the car; mostly out of laziness of not wanted to mess with the Bluetooth audio. It's amazing in about the last decade or so of not listening to it to hear it now; half of the songs are chopped up and censored. It's maddening to say the least; I can understand it in some cases, but this is taking political correctness to absurdity and making it not worth listening to. Besides that fact that none of the disc jockeys are live anymore and are lucky to hear one living in the city the station broadcasts from. I understand that they're a private business and thus have every right to conduct business as they see fit, but also I have a right to turn them off. I think I'll go back to my non-broadcast music. Okay, off my soapbox now. Anyway, this was one of the songs that got some censorship done to it; and while it's not my favourite from the band I s...

From: Back in the High Life ; Year: 1986; Genre: Rock/Pop/Soul Had another artist in mind to pick a song from today, however for some reason I wanted to choose this rather famous tune from Mr. Winwood; mid-late '80s incarnate. Hear Higher Love on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Helloween - Lay All Your Love On Me My song pick two years ago today: The Drifters - There Goes My Baby My song pick three years ago today: Soundgarden - Spoonman My song pick four years ago today: Jethro Tull - Heavy Horses My song pick five years ago today: The Monkees - Daydream Believer My song pick six years ago today: Muse - Resistance My song pick seven years ago today: Jethro Tull - From A Deadbeat To An Old Greaser My song pick eight years ago today: Fleetwood Mac - Oh Well My song pick nine years ago today: Aerosmith - Janie's Got A Gun
