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

From: Fandangos in Space ; Year: 1973; Genre: Progressive Rock/Flamenco Rock I wish this band would've lasted longer; their music is so unique and there are only three albums worth, which is a shame. Anyway, if you like heavy and technical music with the drama and flare of flamenco this one will please, heck, even if that's not your cup of tea it's still great music. Hear Bullfight on YouTube.

From: Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds ; Year: 1971; Genre: Rock/Pop Heard this one the other day and it has been stuck in my head ever since; I tell ya what: this entire song is a hook from beginning to end. I guess though when you have a well-written song recorded with the fabled Wrecking Crew you already have a big advantage. Hear Don't Pull Your Love on YouTube.

From: Who Are You ; Year: 1978; Genre: Hard Rock Had The Who on the brain again; I've always kind of liked this song, but not a whole lot until more recent year when I gave it a close listening.

From: Synchronicity ; Year: 1983; Genre: Rock/New Wave Here's a very interesting and weird song from The Police; has song progressive rock traits with the insanity of the delivery of the lyrics and the out of this world music accompanying it.

From: Rock Island ; Year: 1989; Genre: Progressive Rock/Hard Rock Ears of Tin has always been my favourite song off of Rock Island , and without a doubt one from that period. This one continues that sound that's somewhat similar to Dire Straits, but the dynamics and contrast of the verses and chorus musically is very much a 'Tull trait. I love the the intricate story and scenery painted by the lyrics, which help to sell the city/country bifurcation the individual song feels. Hear Ears of Tin on YouTube.

From: The Promise of a Future ; Year: 1968; Genre: Jazz Yesterday I learned of the passing of Jazz legend Hugh Masekela; I immediately had this, probably his most famous song, on my mind.

From: Permanent Vacation ; Year: 1987; Genre: Hard Rock I've always loved that bass in they have in this song; a nice driving riff pulling the low-end along.

My song pick one year ago today: Jethro Tull - Only Solitaire My song pick two years ago today: Modest Petrovitch Mussorgsky - Intermezzo Symphonique in Modo Classico My song pick three years ago today: The Soul Seven - The Cissy's Thang My song pick four years ago today: Soundgarden - Fell on Dark Days My song pick five years ago today: Rush - Driven My song pick six years ago today: The Moody Blues - Go Now My song pick seven years ago today: Queen - 39 My song pick eight years ago today: Hawkwind - Standing at the Edge My song pick nine years ago today: Rush - Nocturne My song pick ten years ago today: Head East - Never Been...

From: In Deep ; Year: 1973; Genre: Progressive Rock/Hard Rock Making a double pick today with these two heavy thumpers with some excellent musicianship from the pen of legendary songwriter/guitarist Russ Ballard. In my opinion this was definitely when the band was at its best in all aspects. Hear It's Only Money (Parts 1 + 2) on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Woncha Take Me for a While My song pick two years ago today: Bass Extremes - Bassically Yours My song pick three years ago today: Bonnie Tyler - It's a Jungle Out There My song pick four years ago today: The Cult - Fire Woman My song pick five years ago today: The Beatles - Free as a Bird My song pick six years ago today: Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Julie Don't Live Here My song pick seven years ago today: Fire Bomber (Humming Bird) - My Soul For You My song pick eight years ago today: Hawkwind - D-Rider My song pick nine years ago today: Duran...

From: Who's Next ; Year: 1971; Genre: Rock Originally The Song Is Over would've been the final song for the abandoned Lifehouse rock opera, but ended up as one of the brighter gems from this album.

From: Nevermind ; Year: 1991; Genre: Alternative Rock/Grunge For the last few days off and on I've had Nirvana's Nevermind playing in my head; figured it was time to pick another one from the band anyway.

From: Tribal Thunder ; Year: 1993; Genre: Surf Guitar Rock I think I need to be more creative with my writing; it's becoming a bit repetitive with each post lately.

From: Definitely Maybe ; Year: 1994; Genre: Rock Had this one come on whilst driving yesterday; since I really like it and that I haven't picked one from the band in quite a while, yep I'm choosing it today.

From: Everybody Else is Doing it , So Why Can't We?; Year: 1993; Genre: Alternative Rock As probably most already know, Dolores O'Riordan passed away suddenly at the young age of 45; may she rest in peace. It seems like lately I've been having to say goodbye to a plethora of great musicians that I grew up and was inspired by. However, I shouldn't focus on myself here, but on the incredible gift Dolores gave us that will live on and on. Anyway, this is one of the first songs I ever heard from the band; definitely part of the 1990s definitive soundtrack. Hear Linger on YouTube.

From: The Wedge ; Year: 1986; Genre: Progressive Rock For about a week now I've been thinking of picking something from one of my favourite 1980s prog/rock bands: Pallas. This song comes off of their second album and, whilst not the best one on the album, it's still pretty good; I especially like the dynamics and the launch into the chorus from the verse.

From: Goodbye Horses (single) ; Year: 1988; Genre: New Wave Was having trouble thinking of a song to choose today, so when listening to a bunch of other music one of them reminded me of this wonderful song from Q Lazzarus. Goodbye Horses took me back a bit; boy new wave was excellent back then and still is now.

From: Dodgy Bastards ; Year: 2016; Genre: Folk Rock/Hard Rock Back in the mood again for some more Steeleye Span.

From: Abominog ; Year: 1982; Genre: Hard Rock/Metal Wanted to pick something from Uriah Heep today; felt like one of their heavier songs from the early '80s in particular.

From: The Magnificent Moodies ; Year: 1965; Genre: R&B/Blues Rock Yesterday I learned that Ray Thomas passed away a few days ago; an obituary can be read here . For those unaware, he was a founding member of the band The Moody Blues and besides songwriting, arranging, vocals, and playing a plethora of instruments for the band, most notably the flute, as most would remember from their mega-hit Nights in White Satin .

From: Los Lonely Boys ; Year: 2004; Genre: Latin Rock I had this one pop on my playlist yesterday; it was the perfect song to put me into a better mood.

From: So ; Year: 1986; Genre: Progressive Rock Whilst working in the kitchen yesterday Peter Gabriel's music started playing in my mind, so as always....
