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

From: Living in the Past ; Year: 1972 (1969); Genre: Blues Rock Yesterday I was on the road for most of the day or at least away from home and I had this track on my mind; thought I'd go ahead and pick it. This was originally a single release from the end of their time as a hard rock blues band and was added onto the compilation album Living in the Past with many of their other singles at the time that were without an album. Driving Song is a definite blues written around a triplet on a driving bass line provided by the late-great Glenn Cornick. Hear Driving Song on YouTube.

From: Cookin' on the Roof ; Year: 1983; Genre: New Wave/Rockabilly Whilst working on the yard yesterday I had this song pop into my mind and continue to stay there. I have not heard it for over 30 years or thereabouts, so I don't know where it came from; but I'll take it as a sign I should pick it. I had to do a search to find the band that did it, but they sound, at least in this song, like a new wave Stray Cats to my ears. Apparently Roman Holliday only had a couple of hits with this being the big one. Hear Don't Try to Stop It on YouTube.

From: Ace ; Year: 1972; Genre: Rock Another Memorial Day here, so you few that read this blog regularly know wot that means: more Grateful Dead.

From: The Allman Brothers Band ; Year: 1969; Genre: Blues Rock/Southern Rock Gregg Allman, founding member, singer, songwriter, and keyboardist of the band of his and his already departed brother Duane's namesake passed away yesterday. It seems that I've been making too many picks like this lately, especially of bands and artists that I adore. He was taken at the young age of 69; definitely his music will live on for centuries to come. Anyway, this early song I thought exemplified his vocal style with that was so soulful voice.

From: Starless and Bible Black ; Year: 1974; Genre: Progressive Rock/Hard Rock Without a doubt this is some amazing headphone music; almost 12 minutes of musical bliss. You can tell that this is a song that pushed the band members to and passed their limits; if that's possible for a band like King Crimson. Hear Fracture on YouTube.

From: The Floor's Too Far Away ; Year: 2006; Genre: Progressive Rock Made it to another "odometer rollover;" I thought a good epic, and bombastic song would be called for as a pick. This almost 10-minute long instrumental is about as epic as it gets musically; a stupendous mix of traditional instruments and synth. Hear Spacebase on YouTube.

From: Dystopia ; Year: 2016; Genre: Thrash Metal Was in the mood for some Megadeth today; it just felt right. This rather pretty and heavy instrumental off their most recent Dystopia album. I love the beautiful acoustic intro that is definitely flamenco influenced; I love when it kicks into the countering metal section. Hear Conquer or Die! on YouTube.

From: Handful of Rain ; Year: 1994; Genre: Progressive Metal/Symphonic Metal This is one of those songs that no matter how many times I've heard it, it brings chills and goosebumps; it's that well composed and put together. In the time of minimalist music Savatage was one of the bands to buck the trend and still release masterpieces like this. I absolutely love the vocal work throughout this one; simply amazing. Hear Chance on YouTube.

From: Last Action Hero (Soundtrack) ; Year: 1993; Genre: Alternative Metal/Grunge Been listening to a bunch of '90s "grunge" since Chris Cornell passed away. It's amazing to think about all the frontmen to those bands who have died over the years; sadly Lane Staley was among those who left the world too soon. Anyway, this was one of two songs Alice in Chains did for the film Last Action Hero ; it definitely showcases their sound and style at the time greatly. Hear What The Hell Have I on YouTube.

From: Revelations ; Year: 2006; Genre: Funk Rock/Alternative Rock For the last day or so it's been difficult... one of the more personally influential musicians from my teenage years took his own life. Rest in peace Chris Cornell; I pray you find that peace in death you couldn't find in life. Hear Nothing Left to Say But Goodbye on YouTube.

From: Sheer Heart Attack ; Year: 1974; Genre: Hard Rock Same story, different band, different day. Sheer Heart Attack is an album that doesn't get as much attention as it deserves. These three songs make a medley, so I thought it would be apropos to pick all three. It's an amazing piece in many ways; even the band Dream Theater thought so and covered it. If nothing else it's great to hear Roger Taylor sing lead on Tenement Funster . Hear Tenement Funster/Flick of the Wrist/Lily of the Valley on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Don Henley - Sunset Grill My song pick two years ago today: Bad Company - No Smoke Without a Fire My song pick three years ago today: Freddy Taylor and His Swing Men from Harlem - Viper's Dream My song pick four years ago today: Mr. Big - Tempermental My song pick five years ago today: Heart - Crazy on You My song pick six years ago today: Billy Thorpe - East of Eden's Gate My song pick seven years ago today:...

From: Elysium ; Year: 2011; Genre: Progressive Metal/Power Metal At the point I was thinking of a perfect song to pick today some music from Stratovarius just popped into my mind. No other reason for picking this track other than I love the song and the band. Hear Lifetime in a Moment on YouTube.

From: Countdown to Extinction ; Year: 1992; Genre: Thrash Metal Got in the mood for some Megadeth this morning and it has yet to subside. I was seriously surprised to see that I had not picked this song yet; I mean, Symphony of Destruction is one of their signature songs and one of my absolute favourites from their catalogue. Every time I play this song, and the entire album for that matter, I can't help but still be blown away by it. This is one of those records that everything just perfectly clicked from the first to the last song. Hear Symphony of Destruction on YouTube.

From: Giant for a Day ; Year: 1978; Genre: Rock Realized that I had not picked one from Gentle Giant for a while now; this somewhat pop departure from the band kind of seemed like a good pick for today. The sound is similar to Electric Light Orchestra in my opinion, which I think was a great juxtaposition of their normal sound. Hear Words From the Wise on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: King Crimson - I Talk to the Wind My song pick two years ago today: Pure Essence - Wake Up, Pts. 1&2 My song pick three years ago today: Eric Clapton (Derek and the Dominoes) - Bell Bottom Blues My song pick four years ago today: Jethro Tull - Skating Away on the Thin Ice of the New Day My song pick five years ago today: Alestorm - I Am a Cider Drinker My song pick six years ago today: Elton John - Lady Samantha My song pick seven years ago today: Nena - 99 Luftballons My song pick eight years ago today: Rainbow - Street of Dreams My song pick nine years ago...

From: Fire of Unknown Origin ; Year: 1981; Genre: Rock This song was on my mind today; another one of my favourites from this album. I like most of the songs on Fire of Unknown Origin , so I guess it's not saying a lot I suppose; I usually play this one through all the way; album oriented rock for the win. Anyway, it has a very active and jazzy bass line it's written around, which gives it a nice bouncy feeling to go along with that BÖC sound. Hear Don't Turn Your Back on YouTube.

From: Standing Hampton ; Year: 1982; Genre: Hard Rock/Metal Whilst thinking about which song to pick today this one came to mind. Most would probably remember it as the title track to the animated film Heavy Metal , but it's an excellent song in and of itself and is thus one of Sammy Hagar's bigger hits as well.

From: Fantastic Voyage ; Year: 1980; Genre: Funk/Disco The end of another workweek and thus a Funk Friday is upon me again. This one has some great thump and bump to get your blood really moving and to put a smile on your face. I love that synth too; adds a lot to the song. Hear Fantastic Voyage on YouTube.

From: Now We Are Six ; Year: 1974; Genre: Folk Rock/Progressive Rock After listening to some of their music over the last few days I figured I'd pick another one from Steeleye Span. Two Magicians is a traditional folk tune that, as they usually do, interpret it with their more raucous electronic folk sound. Hear Two Magicians on YouTube.

From: Urban Hymns ; Year: 1997; Genre: Rock/Pop I keep finding more and more bands that I like that I haven't picked a song from yet; I figured I'd go with one of my favourites.

From: Rupi's Dance ; Year: 2003; Genre: Progressive Rock/Folk Rock Was listening to this song yesterday and really enjoyed hearing it again; when I realized I had yet to pick it I knew I had today's pick. Rupi's Dance is another one of his songs written about one of his cats, which was a kitten at the time, now Rupi would be about 14; hope she's still alive and kicking. Anyway, Ian's playing on the bamboo flute is the main reason I love this song the way he slides into notes to add emotion is masterful and the entire song was definitely arranged and put together the same way.

From: Stained Class ; Year: 1978; Genre: Metal Had this epic song on my mind today; as usual I decided to pick it. It's a beautiful mix of melodic ballad with some heavy riff based metal; the musicianship and vocals are, as normal with Judas Priest, is off the charts.
