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

From: Working Holiday! ; Year: 1994; Genre: Indie Rock Well... another year comes to a close. This one kinda had it all across the board as far as its ups and downs, but overall I cannot complain about 2018. As for my blog, I started into my 11th year of doing this endeavour and ploughing right on through the 4000s; at this point I couldn't imagine not doing a daily post as part of my daily routine. Anyway, I though I'd pick something appropriate for the occasion; this piece of " grungy " sounding mid-90s music just felt absolutely perfect for the day. I'll catch ya all tomorrow next year! Hear 11:59 (It's January) on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Ella Fitzgerald - What Are You Doing New Year's Eve? My song pick 2 years ago today: Iron Maiden - When the Wild Wind Blows My song pick 3 years ago today: Primus with The Fungi Ensemble - Farewell Wonkites My song pick 4 years ago today: The Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin/Late...

From: Wilderness ; Year: 1976; Genre: Country/Rock It's been many, many years since I've heard this song or anything from the album for that matter. I used to be a huge fan of his music when I was little, I still like his material, just it shares space with a gargantuan amount of music that I like, which is continuing to grow in size. Anywho, if you've been acquainted with his music you know what to expect: basically a type of truck driver rap over some good music. Hear Riverside Slide on YouTube.

From: Can't Buy a Thrill ; Year: 1972; Genre: Jazz Rock This is one of my absolute favourites from Steely Dan; it's just so exquisitely written musically.

From: Someone Loves You Honey ; Year: 1977; Genre: Country I've had this song on my mind most of the day thus far. For that matter it gets stuck in my mind a lot otherwise too; it's very catchy. I grew up hearing the original recording by Ronnie Milsap, but ever since I ran into Charley Pride's version it's become my favourite version of the song; I just love his voice and delivery. Hear Daydreams About Night Things on YouTube.

From: Airwaves ; Year: 1979; Genre: Rock This album is the first of two that are post-passing of founder, lead singer, and a few other musical instruments: Pete Ham. Whilst there's a sadness associated with it, it has some real gems on it; The Dreamer being one of them. Hear The Dreamer on YouTube.

From: You Are What You Is ; Year: 1981; Genre: Jazz Fusion It's always nice having Christmas over with, not that I hate the Holiday or anything like that, but it is very nice to have the holiday stress over with. It's also nice to go back to picking random songs that are just running in my mind again. Anyway, I love this instrumental piece from the maestro of music that is experimental and weird. Hear Theme From The 3rd Movement Of Sinister Footwear on YouTube.

From: Chipmunks Roasting on an Open Fire ; Year: 2000; Genre: Rock/Parody/Comedy/Christmas Music Merry Christmas Eve! At least once during this holiday season I make an effort to revisit the lighter side of Christmas music. In this one Bob Rivers uses the music from Creedence Clearwater Revival's Up And Around the Bend , but turns it into a Christmas song and does an excellent job doing it. Hear Goin' Up To Bethlehem on YouTube.

From: The Lost Christmas Eve ; Year: 2004; Genre: Progressive Metal/Christmas Music Saturday before Christmas it is.

From: A Soulful Christmas ; Year: 1968; Genre: Soul/Funk Thought I'd double dip by picking a Christmas song and make a Funky Friday Pick. No place to find a song with both criteria than a track by James Brown. Hear Christmas is Coming on YouTube.

From: Bachman & Turner ; Year: 2010; Genre: Hard Rock Enjoying this album again recently; I still marvel at how much the record sounds like it came right out of the mid 1970s with all that hard Canadian rock goodness. Hear Find Some Love on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Jethro Tull - Another Harry's Bar My song pick 2 years ago today: Ronnie James Dio/Tony Iommi/Rudy Sarzo/Simon Wright - God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen My song pick 3 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Holly Herald My song pick 4 years ago today: Sting - Gabriel's Message My song pick 5 years ago today: Sly and the Family Stone - Bad Risk My song pick 6 years ago today: Bob Dylan - See That My Grave is Kept Clean My song pick 7 years ago today: Bob Rivers & Twisted Radio - I Am Santa Claus My song pick 8 years ago today: Daft Punk - End of Line My song pick 9 years ago today: Avatar (Savatage) - Rock Me My song pick 10 years ago today: Savatage - White Witch My song pic...

From: Just Like Us ; Year: 1966; Genre: Rock/Hard Rock I've had this song on my brain off and on over the last few days, so I thought I'd pick it. As Max used to have on his song a day blog, this is what he referred to as "Dad Music," however, I've come to like this track as well. Hear Just Like Me on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Soundgarden - Burden in My Hand My song pick 2 years ago today: Wild Turkey - Good Old Days My song pick 3 years ago today: Stuart Hamm - Terminal Beach My song pick 4 years ago today: James Brown - Santa Claus, Go Straight to the Ghetto My song pick 5 years ago today: The Police - So Lonely My song pick 6 years ago today: Ben E.

From: Face The Music ; Year: 1975; Genre: Rock/Symphonic Rock Some of their music from this album came on today and I thought it was a wonderful idea to pick another song from it. Waterfall is a rather pretty tune with a wide range of sounds throughout. Hear Waterfall on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Primus - Candy Man My song pick 2 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Teacher My song pick 3 years ago today: Bootsy's Rubber Band - Psychoticbumpschool My song pick 4 years ago today: Alice Cooper/John 5/Billy Sheehan/Vinny Appice - Santa Claus is Coming to Town My song pick 5 years ago today: The Ventures - Sleigh Ride My song pick 6 years ago today: The Miracles featuring Bill "Smokey" Robinson - Shop Around My song pick 7 years ago today: Louis Armstrong - Christmas in New Orleans My song pick 8 years ago today: Boston - A Man I'll Never Be My song pick 9 years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Blue Collar My song pick 1...

From: A View to a Kill (soundtrack) ; Year: 1985; Genre: New Wave I always loved the late '70s and '80s James Bond films with Roger Moore; A View to a Kill has always been amongst my favourites. Anyway, this is, of course, Duran Duran's contribution for the film's title song; even without the connection to the classic movie the song stands right along side their better material in my opinion. Hear A View to a Kill on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Rammstein - Mehr My song pick 2 years ago today: Melvins - Raise a Paw My song pick 3 years ago today: Tarja Turunen - Never Enough My song pick 4 years ago today: Twisted Sister - Heavy Metal Christmas (The Twelve Days of Christmas) My song pick 5 years ago today: Stratovarius - Learning to Fly My song pick 6 years ago today: Miles Davis - Green in Blue My song pick 7 years ago today: Tarot - Midwinter Nights My song pick 8 years ago today: Henry Mancini - A Shot in the Dark My song pic...

From: Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards ; Year: 2015; Genre: Power Metal/Symphonic Metal Been thoroughly exhausted both physically and mentally over the last couple days; I'm definitely in need of something "out there" and "over the top" musically. Nothing fits that description better than Gloryhammer in my opinion; epic, in your face, and overtly pretentious, yep, the best medicine out there. Hear Universe on Fire on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Bon Jovi - Lay Your Hands on Me My song pick 2 years ago today: James Brown - Santa Claus Gave Me a Brand New Start My song pick 3 year ago today: The United States of America - Stranded in Time My song pick 4 years ago today: Boston - Can'tcha Say (Believe in Me)/Still in Love My song pick 5 years ago today: Molly Hatchet - Dreams I'll Never See My song pick 6 years ago today: Miles Davis - Straight, No Chaser My song pick 7 years ago today: Triumph - Hold On My song pic...

From: Dead Winter Dead ; Year: 1995; Genre: Symphonic Metal/Progressive Metal Ah yes, the powerful closing song to Savatage's epic album Dead Winter Dead ; I absolutely love playing this entire disc around this time of year.

From: Doctor Hook ; Year: 1972; Genre: Rock/Country Rock This is another track that brings back a lot of memories for me; it's always been among my favourites from the band. You gotta love the raw emotion and energy in this rather sorrowful song; from what I can understand the song is based on a real happening to one of the band members trying to get in touch with an old girlfriend.  Hear Sylvia's Mother on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: John Denver - Goodbye Again My song pick 2 years ago today: John McCutcheon - Christmas in the Trenches My song pick 3 years ago today: Cybotron - Implosion My song pick 4 years ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - Godzilla My song pick 5 years ago today: Tangerine Dream - White Eagle My song pick 6 years ago today: Elvis Presley - Heartbreak Hotel My song pick 7 years ago today: Rare Earth - I Just Want to Celebrate My song pick 8 years ago today: Top Gear Band - Red Light Spells Danger My song pick 9 years ago to...

From: Doremi Fasol Latido ; Year: 1972; Genre: Psychedelic Rock/Space Rock It just hit me that I should pick something from Hawkwind today, so I am. If you like long pieces of hard-driving and out there music, then this one's for you; Lemmy especially makes this song thump with that driving bass. Hear Brainstorm on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: America - The Border My song pick 2 years ago today: Yes - Machine Messiah My song pick 3 years ago today: The Offspring - The Meaning of Life My song pick 4 years ago today: Savatage - Degrees of Sanity My song pick 5 years ago today: Extreme - Get the Funk Out My song pick 6 years ago today: Bill Haley & His Comets - Rock Around the Clock My song pick 7 years ago today: Steve Vai - I'm the Hell Outta Here My song pick 8 years ago today: Fear Factory - Replica My song pick 9 years ago today: David Bowie - Changes My song pick 10 years ago today: Heart - Black On Black II My song pick 11 y...

From: Free Hand ; Year: 1975; Genre: Progressive Rock It just hit me today to pick another track from Gentle Giant. This is a fun song all the way around to listen to; all of that virtuosity and prog rock goodness. Hear His Last Voyage on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - The Waiting My song pick 2 years ago today: Rush - Marathon My song pick 3 years ago today: Devo - Beautiful World My song pick 4 years ago today: The Jimmy Castor Bunch - E-Man Boogie My song pick 5 years ago today: Yes - The Man You Always Wanted Me to Be My song pick 6 years ago today: Soundgarden - Non-State Actor My song pick 7 years ago today: The Mushroom Tabernacle Choir - 12 Drugs of Christmas My song pick 8 years ago today: David Bowie - Ashes to Ashes My song pick 9 years ago today: Ian Anderson - In the Moneylender's Temple My song pick 10 years ago today: Dobie Grey - Drift Away My song pick 11 years ago today: Lobo - Gypsy and t...

From: Desolation Angels ; Year: 1979; Genre: Rock/Hard Rock Had Bad Company on my mind this morning. This is amongst my favourite of the songs the band has produced, a good straight-up rocker. Hear Gone, Gone, Gone on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Band of Horses - Whatever, Wherever My song pick 2 years ago today: Steeleye Span - Seagull My song pick 3 years ago today: Rick James - Dance Wit' Me My song pick 4 years ago today: Miles Davis - Milestones My song pick 5 years ago today: Thin Lizzy - Warriors My song pick 6 years ago today: Soundgarden - Taree My song pick 7 years ago today: Lighthouse - Pretty Lady My song pick 8 years ago today: Ugly Kid Joe - Mr. Recordman My song pick 9 years ago today: Chet Atkins & Jerry Reed - Something My song pick 10 years ago today: Buddy Holly & the Crickets - Well... All Right My song pick 11 years ago today: Fleetwood Mac - Dreams

From: Get It On Credit ; Year: 1982; Genre: Rock I've been meaning to pick another track from this band, but kept slipping my mind. Anyway, this is one that some people might not be aware of, but this is the song that was later recorded by the band Heart and became a huge hit. For some reason the band never released their original version for a couple of decades when it appeared as a bonus track on Get It On Credit remaster. I really don't want to get into "who did it better" or crap like that, but I will say they did a good job on their original version; Holly Woods really was able to belt it out. Hear What About Love on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Jethro Tull - Broadsword My song pick 2 years ago today: Carmen - Come Back My song pick 3 years ago today: Van Der Graaf Generator - Still Life My song pick 4 years ago today: Stryper - To Hell with the Devil My song pick 5 years ago today: The Rolling Stones - Start Me Up My song pick...

From: If I Should Fall From Grace With God ; Year: 1988; Genre: Celtic Folk Rock/Christmas Music It's getting closer and closer to Christmas again... for me I normally have to work through the trepidation of relatives' chaotic moods and generalized anxiety about the Season. And thus I usually love the more introspective and may I say, maudlin music of the season. Whilst this song isn't as popular in The States as it is in Britain and Ireland, it's one that fits the feelings I often get this time of year. Hear Fairytale of New York on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Victor Wooten - Zenergy My song pick 2 years ago today: S.M.V. - Classical Thump (Jam) My song pick 3 years ago today: Vangelis - Chariots of Fire - Titles My song pick 4 years ago today: Chet Atkins - Vincent (Starry, Starry Night) My song pick 5 years ago today: Bob Dylan - Forever Young My song pick 6 years ago today: Les Paul & Mary Ford - How High the Moon My song p...

From: Forever Young ; Year: 1984; Genre: New Wave/Synthpop The last little bit I've had Alphaville's music on my mind some and thought I should revisit their music again. Whilst Sounds Like a Melody is definitely a product of the time it was recorded, it comes off more retro than dated. Hear Sounds Like a Melody on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: The Spencer Davis Group - Keep On Running My song pick 2 years ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - Searchin' for Celine My song pick 3 years ago today: Queen - Thank God It's Christmas My song pick 4 years ago today: Faster Pussycat - House of Pain My song pick 5 years ago today: Dire Straits - Skateaway My song pick 6 years ago today: Charlie Parker & Dizzy Gillespie - Bloomdido My song pick 7 years ago today: Molly Hatchet - One Man's Pleasure My song pick 8 years ago today: Hawkwind - High Rise My song pick 9 years ago today: Joachim Witt - Bataillon 'd Amour My song pick 10 year...

From: Software ; Year: 1984; Genre: Rock Yesterday was the first time I'd heard Grace Slick's Software album, I have to say that it's growing on me. In this song she uses a lot of the sounds of the time combined with her own psychedelic sensibilities. Hear All The Machines on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Of Monsters and Men - Black Water My song pick 2 years ago today: Blondie - Union City Blue My song pick 3 years ago today: Candlebox - Change My song pick 4 years ago today: Pallas - Atlantis My song pick 5 years ago today: The Beatles - Blackbird My song pick 6 years ago today: Vaughn Monroe - (Ghost) Riders in the Sky: A Cowboy Legend My song pick 7 years ago today: Bob Dylan - Knockin' on Heaven's Door My song pick 8 years ago today: Frank Zappa - Dumb All Over My song pick 9 years ago today: Django Reinhardt - I'll See You In My Dreams My song pick 10 years ago today: Queen - You're My Best Friend My song pic...

From: It's All In The Game/Love Is The Answer (single); Year: 1967; Genre: Soul/Motown I was drawing a bit of a blank when suddenly a song from the Four Tops entered my mind. Of course being a big fan of the music of Motown and the Four Tops in particular and I knew I had to choose one of their songs today. Hear It's All In The Game on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Hammerfall - Wildfire My song pick 2 years ago today: Heart - Magic Man My song pick 3 years ago today: Allan Sherman - I See Bones My song pick 4 years ago today: Rush - Chemistry My song pick 5 years ago today: Rick James - Super Freak My song pick 6 years ago today: The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Three to Get Ready My song pick 7 years ago today: Rammstein - Rammstein My song pick 8 years ago today: The Steve Miller Band - You Send Me My song pick 9 years ago today: Frijid Pink - House of the Rising Sun My song pick 10 years ago today: Jaco Pastorius - Portrait of Tracy My ...

From: Grave Dancers Union ; Year: 1992; Genre: Alternative Rock Was in the mood for something new from a band I had not picked a song from before. A bit of a surprise that I had not added one from Soul Asylum yet; this is one of the more recognizable tracks of theirs, but I can say "Weird Al's" The Night Santa Went Crazy kind of spoiled this song for me personally. Hear Black Gold on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: .38 Special - Long Time Gone My song pick 2 years ago today: Woody Guthrie - Tom Joad (Parts 1+2) My song pick 3 years ago today: Stone Temple Pilots - Big Bang Baby My song pick 4 years ago today: Maktub - Motherfucker My song pick 5 years ago today: Saga - It's Time (Chapter Three) My song pick 6 years ago today: Rush - Red Sector A My song pick 7 years ago today: Muse - Exogenesis: Symphony Parts 1,2, and 3 My song pick 8 years ago today: Hawkwind - Spirit of the Age My song pick 9 years ago today: Stuart Hamm - Flow ...

From: Vapor Trails ; Year: 2002; Genre: Progressive Rock Had this one playing in the car while coming home the other day; it's kind of a treat for me personally when a song comes on from this album, (and its predecessor as well), I don't normally pay too much attention to them so the almost always sound like new material to me. Hear Ceiling Unlimited on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: The Fabulous Thunderbirds - Tuff Enuff My song pick 2 years ago today: Joe Cocker - Feeling Alright My song pick 3 years ago today: Earth, Wind & Fire - Lady Sun My song pick 4 years ago today: Porcupine Tree - Nil Recurring My song pick 5 years ago today: The Steve Miller Band - Keeps Me Wondering Why My song pick 6 years ago today: Fred Astaire - Puttin' on the Ritz My song pick 7 years ago today: Puhdys - Wenn Traume Sterben My song pick 8 years ago today: Jim Reeves - It's Nothin' to Me My song pick 9 years ago today: Rush - Twilight Zone ...

From: Rockin' Into the Night ; Year: 1979; Genre: Southern Rock/Hard Rock Had .38 Special on my mind again, as usual I'm picking another one of their songs. This one is good, straight-up rocker with that southern kick to it. Hear Stone Cold Believer on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: The Cure - Winter My song pick 2 years ago today: The Drifters - On Broadway My song pick 3 years ago today: Elvis Presley - Steamroller Blues My song pick 4 years ago today: King Crimson - In the Wake of Poseidon (including "Libra's Theme") My song pick 5 years ago today: The Moody Blues - Sitting at the Wheel My song pick 6 years ago today: Harry James and His Orchestra with Kitty Kallen - 11:60 PM My song pick 7 years ago today: Billy Idol - Flesh for Fantasy My song pick 8 years ago today: The Coasters - Along Came Jones My song pick 9 years ago today: Grand Funk Railroad - Footstompin' Music My song pick 10 years ago today: Petula Clark -...

From: Seven Stories Into Eight ; Year: 1982; Genre: Progressive Rock/Symphonic Rock If you like odd and ever-changing time signatures and big sounding music than this song is definitely for you. For those unfamiliar with the band, IQ is among the "Neo-Progressive Wave" of the early '80s, adopting newer sounds and ideas to go with the prog rock style that fell out of fashion in the late '70s; breathing new life into the genre. Hear Fascination on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: The Rolling Stones - Winter My song pick 2 years ago today: Archie Bell & The Drells - Tighten Up My song pick 3 years ago today: Yes - Cinema My song pick 4 years ago today: Heart - Sing Child My song pick 5 years ago today: Soundgarden - A Thousand Days Before My song pick 6 year ago today: The Ink Spots with Ella Fitzgerald - I'm Making Believe   My song pick 7 years ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - Vengeance (The Pact) My song pick 8 years ago today:...
