From: Nightcap ; Year: 1993 (1973); Genre: Progressive Rock This unreleased song from the infamous album that wasn't came on my playlist whilst driving earlier.

From: Modern Man ; Year: 1978; Genre: Jazz Fusion/R&B/Soul/Space Rock Was wanting to do a Funky Friday pick today featuring Stanley Clarke, but these two rather hard-to-pigeon-hole-in-a-genre songs by the master of songwriting and the bass guitar just needed to be added to my blog instead.

From: Woman in the Wings ; Year: 1978; Genre: Folk Rock/Progressive Rock Found out they finally uploaded this song to YouTube a couple months ago; I've been wanting to pick it for an age. This one they use and blend some really contrasting musical ideas. The beat and a bunch of the song is reggae influenced; other parts are more big-band.

From: Down Home ; Year: 1962; Genre: Jazz Here's a song that's been on my mind for a bit, it's also one that my grandfather used to play regularly on his guitar that I have a lot of memories tied to. Both Chet and Boots Randolph do a great job playing off one another throughout the song. Hear The Girl Friend of the Whirling Dervish on YouTube.

From: Heavy Horses ; Year: 1978; Genre: Progressive Rock/Folk Rock Acres Wild in my opinion is one of the songs that captures the essence of the theme of this album the best: that of old ways giving way to new, modern ways. They capture this both musically and lyrically with the mixing of different old and new instruments/styles of music. Hear Acres Wild on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Soundgarden - Jesus Christ Pose My song pick two years ago today: Bootsy's Rubber Band - Vanish In Our Sleep My song pick three years ago today: The Who - Another Tricky Day My song pick four years ago today: Rush - Beneath, Between & Behind My song pick five years ago today: Lynyrd Skynyrd - Last of a Dyin' Breed My song pick six years ago today: Rush - Subdivisions My song pick seven years ago today: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - K. 525, Serenade No. 13 for Strings in G major " Eine Kleine Nachtmusik " My song pick eight years ago today: Foreign...

From: The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars ; Year: 1972; Genre: Glam Rock In my opinion Five Years is a very odd song to open such an album with, but the whole "end of the world" theme really works.

From: Middle Man ; Year: 1980; Genre: Rock In the mood for some early '80s rock; happened upon some Boz Scaggs, which I have not picked one from in a while.

From: Running on Empty ; Year: 1977; Genre: Rock Off and on over the last couple of days I've had this medley stuck in my head; I'd had no other song in mind and I like it, so I'm choosing it for the start of the workweek. The first of the two songs is Jackson Browne's epic ode to his entourage and the audience that segues into a cover of the all-time favourite Stay . Hear The Load-Out/Stay on YouTube.

From: Smell The Flowers ; Year: 1972; Genre: Country/Pop I really wanted to pick a song from Jerry Reed and serendipitously discovered something I've searching for a while. In the comedy piece Convention '72 they sampled snippets of music to put together a fake and rather hilarious news cast. I had discovered all the songs sampled, but one: this one. I knew it was Jerry Reed, but couldn't find the song; one of the reasons for this is that it wasn't a main his, but a b-side. Whatever the case it feels great to have some completion to this rather trivial endeavour. Hear Take It Easy (In Your Mind) on YouTube.

From: Roll the Bones ; Year: 1991; Genre: Hard Rock/Progressive Rock Time for some more Rush; late '80s/early '90s to be exact.

From: Love Will Tear Us Apart ; Year: 1980; Genre: Synthpop/New Wave Was having a lot of fun listening to both Joy Division and their subsequent incarnation New Order.

From Buddy Holly ; Year: 1958; Genre: Rock 'n Roll/Pop Been messing around with his music lately and thus has been in my head a lot lately. Everyday is a very unique song in the way it was constructed; I don't believe that you'll hear anything like it outside classical music really. Hear Everyday on YouTube.

From: Nightingales & Bombers ; Year: 1975; Genre: Hard Rock Very busy day, so for this pick I am being a bit abbreviated, but am still choosing one I like a lot.

From: Head On ; Year: 1975; Genre: Hard Rock This song has the distinction of being BTO's only non-album single, although it was later included on CD releases of Head On .
