From: Asia; Year: 1982; Genre: Progressive Rock
Getting back to normalcy after the long weekend; bands such as Asia are perfect to get the mind focused.
I love the emotion and the sweeping music throughout the piece; very uplifting in my opinion.

6901. Ray Anthony - The Arabian Funk

-
Image
From: Movements 2 ; Year: 2006 (1978); Genre: Funk/Soul Here is another deep cut from Tobias Kirmayer's awesome compilation series of funk and soul music. Even though The Arabian Funk was from the late 1970s it has aspects, sounds, beats and rhythm that was more mainstream a half a decade or more later; kind of a little ahead of its time.   Hear The Arabian Funk on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Bloodrock - Melvin Laid An Egg     My song pick 2 years ago today: The Moody Blues - My Song     My song pick 3 years ago today: Wolfmother - Remove Your Mask   My song pick 4 years ago today: UB40 - Dance With The Devil   My song pick 5 years ago today: Van Halen - 5150   My song pick 6 years ago today: Funkadelic - If You Got Funk, You Got Style   My song pick 7 years ago today: Billy Squier - Lonely Is The Night My song pick 8 years ago today: Hawkwind - The Secret Agent My song pick 9 years ago today: Th...

6900. Van Morrison - Domino

-
Image
From: His Band and the Street Choir ; Year: 1970; Genre: R&B/Jazz Rock Had this track on my mind today, which is one I like; really like his music. I should have chosen more of Van Morrison's songs by now, but have been turned off by way he has treat people who cover his material and the heavy-handedness therein. Anyway, the jazzy lines played in unison by most of the instruments has always been the major draw for me personally; that and the overall horn section that is. From wot I understand though, it was written as a tribute to Fats Domino , who was one of his big influences.   Hear Domino on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Johnny Rivers - (I Washed My Hands In) Muddy Water     My song pick 2 years ago today: Billy Joel - Sleeping With the Television On     My song pick 3 years ago today: Supertramp - Don't Leave Me Now   My song pick 4 years ago today: 3rd Secret - Somewhere in Time   My song pick 5 years a...

6902. Firefall - So Long

-
Image
From: Luna Sea ; Year: 1977; Genre: Soft Rock/Country Rock Felt like some late 1970s rock/power pop/soft rock today; do not know why. Firefall is one of the bands that tics all of the above criteria, so I'm picking another one of their tracks. So Long is one of those nice tracks that has a good beat, good vocals, and an amazing twin guitar lead; all positives in my book.     Hear So Long on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Curtis Mayfield - Superfly     My song pick 2 years ago today: The Winery Dogs - Xanadu     My song pick 3 years ago today: Bob Welch - I'll Dance Alone   My song pick 4 years ago today: Headstones - S.O.S.   My song pick 5 years ago today: Maxine Nightingale - Right Back Where We Started From   My song pick 6 years ago today: Primus - Last Salmon Man (Fisherman's Chronicles, Part IV)   My song pick 7 years ago today: Paul Simon - 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover My song pick 8 y...

6904. Maddy Prior - Somewhere Along the Road

-
Image
From: Year ; Year: 1993; Genre: Folk Rock It just now hit me that I needed to choose another one of Maddy Prior's songs. Her Year album has always been a personal favourite, mostly due to her emotive vocal performance throughout the record. There's a spectacularly beautiful forlorn, far off and beckoning quality here that is truly unique.   Hear Somewhere Along the Road on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Focus - Why Dream?     My song pick 2 years ago today: The Beatles - We Can Work It Out   My song pick 3 years ago today: The Band - The Weight   My song pick 4 years ago today: The Four Tops - Reflections   My song pick 5 years ago today: Rare Earth - Hum Along and Dance   My song pick 6 years ago today: Rammstein - Radio   My song pick 7 years ago today: Matthews' Southern Comfort - Tell Me Why My song pick 8 years ago today: Sam & Dave - Hold On, I'm Coming My song pick 9 years ago today: Glen Camp...

6905. Mandala - Opportunity

-
Image
From: Opportunity/Lost Love (single); Year: 1967; Genre: Soul/Rock I absolutely love discovering bands such as Mandala . You know, bands that really didn't break in or get big, but contained members who would go on to bigger careers; more or less the reverse of a " supergroup ." Whilst they had a couple of minor hits, it really didn't work out and Mandala morphed into a band Bush , (not to be confused with the British band who later used the same name), but did not last very long either. Members would go on to play with acts such as The James Gang, Alice Cooper, Lou Reed and The Guess Who. Anyway, this rock/soul track is basically their main hit song that charted in their native Canada.    Hear Opportunity on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Sam Cooke - Summertime     My song pick 2 years ago today: Cab Calloway & His Orchestra - Geechy Joe     My song pick 3 years ago today: Stevie Wonder - Maybe Your Baby   ...

6903. The Guess Who - Grey Day

-
Image
From: So Long, Bannatyne ; Year: 1971; Genre: Blues Rock Over the years I have really been warming up to the post-Randy Bachman era of The Guess Who, especially the two just after he left. I really think that adding a second guitarist/songwriter in Greg Leskiw and Kurt Winter really added a new dimension to the group, which progressed their sound forward for a time.   Hear Grey Day on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Steppenwolf - Born to be Wild     My song pick 2 years ago today: Ohio Players - Runnin' from the Devil   My song pick 3 years ago today: ZZ Top - Tube Snake Boogie   My song pick 4 years ago today: Olivia Newton-John - Physical   My song pick 5 years ago today: The Undisputed Truth - Smiling Faces Sometimes   My song pick 6 years ago today: Bad Company - Burnin' Sky   My song pick 7 years ago today: Rush - Scars My song pick 8 years ago today: Megadeth - The Threat is Real My song pick 9 years...

6898. Don Williams - Listen to the Radio

-
Image
From: Listen to the Radio ; Year: 1982; Genre: Country Last night whilst cooking dinner I had some of Don Williams' music playing in my brain. My Mom had some of his records, which she loves and used to play frequently when I was younger, are among the music burnt into my mind, so it is not surprising that it pops back in from time to time. Every time I hear this track in particular I can still audibly hear my Mother happily singing along; good memories indeed.   Hear Listen to the Radio on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Van Der Graaf Generator - A Place to Survive     My song pick 2 years ago today: Jethro Tull - A Single Man     My song pick 3 years ago today: Funkadelic - Some More   My song pick 4 years ago today: Journey - Destiny   My song pick 5 years ago today: Queensrÿche - Electric Requiem   My song pick 6 years ago today: HammerFall - Never Forgive, Never Forget   My song pick 7 years ago toda...
