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

From: Killing is my Business... and Business is Good! ; Year: 1985; Genre: Thrash Metal Ah yes, this is the song that is the namesake and is an ode of sorts to Megadeth's mascot: Vic Rattlehead . And it's definitely a song worthy of him; the technicality and velocity at which the band plays is amazing as always. Hear Rattlehead on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Parliament - Everything Is on the One My song pick two years ago today: Symphony X - Iconoclast My song pick three years ago today: John Fogerty - The Old Man Down the Road My song pick four years ago today: Jefferson Airplane - 3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds   My song pick five years ago today: Metallica - Orion My song pick six years ago today: Jethro Tull - No Lullaby My song pick seven years ago today: Cyndi Lauper - The Goonies 'R' Good Enough My song pick eight years ago today: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Into The Great Wide Open My song pick nine years ago toda...

From: Mama Was a Rock and Roll Singer, Papa Used to Write All Her Songs ; Year:1973; Genre: Rock/Pop I have no reason whatsoever why I'm choosing another song from Sonny and Cher, but they were on my mind when sitting down to write this post, so there's your reason I suppose. Anyway, this is kind of an interesting piece of music; over the almost 10 minutes of its play time it transitions between many different styles of pop music. Some of it is their brand of bubblegum pop, other parts remind me a wee bit of the Beatles, and others somewhat similar to Elton John, well, at least to my ears anyway. Hear Mama Was a Rock and Roll Singer on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Weather Report - Cannonball My song pick two years ago today: Jethro Tull - Pan Dance My song pick three years ago today: Chris Squire - Silently Falling My song pick four years ago today: Jim Croce - Bad, Bad Leroy Brown My song pick five years ago today: Béla Fleck and the Flecktones...

From: Stormwatch ; Year: 1979; Genre: Progressive Rock Was thinking about late '70s Tull today, and thought I'd pick one of their rarer songs from that era. Crossword only got released on a compilation album in the late '80s and then found its way onto Stormwatch when it was remastered. Anyway, that bass throughout the song is what drives the song along and is one of the main attractions to the song, but the keyboard and guitar are right up there as well. Makes me wonder a lot of times why it did not get put on the album in the first place, it's a dang good song. Hear Crossword on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Blood, Sweat & Tears - You've Made Me So Very Happy My song pick two years ago today: Mike + The Mechanics - Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground) My song pick three years ago today: Santo & Johnny - Summertime My song pick four years ago today: Zager and Evans - In the Year 2525 (Exordium & Terminus) My song pick f...

From: Take Cover ; Year: 2007; Genre: Hard Rock This is a very interesting cover of the Buffalo Springfield original; I really like the harder rock edge direction they took it in. Hear For What It's Worth on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Marillion - The New Kings My song pick two years ago today: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - K.619 - Die ihr des Unermeßlichen Weltalls My song pick three years ago today: Billy Joel - She's Got a Way My song pick four years ago today: Rick James - Cold Blooded My song pick five years ago today: Primus - Amos Moses My song pick six years ago today: Pink Floyd - Speak to Me/Breathe/On the Run My song pick seven years ago today: Aerosmith - Rag Doll My song pick eight years ago today: John Lennon - Instant Karma! (We All Shine On) My song pick nine years ago today: Fuel - Million Miles My song pick ten years ago today: Tom Petty - Runnin' Down A Dream

From: Bare Trees ; Year: 1972; Genre: Rock I remember growing hearing a lot of this brand of rock. It wasn't focused on one or two hit singles, but rather the entire album was conceived, written, and arranged as to be one album of songs meant to put the needle down and listen to it in its entirety; it definitely was musical bliss. Anyway, here's the title-track from one album that fits the description of "album oriented rock" for sure. Hear Bare Trees on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: The Offspring - Days Go By My song pick two years ago today: Geddy Lee - My Favourite Headache My song pick three years ago today: Sly and the Family Stone - Family Affair My song pick four years ago today: The Guess Who - Rain Dance My song pick five years ago today: Primus - The Devil Went Down to Georgia My song pick six years ago today: Soundgarden - Rusty Cage My song pick seven years ago today: Lou Reed - I'm So Free My song pick eight year...

From: Say It Ain't So ; Year: 1975; Genre: Rock Was looking into other songs from artists who, here in America at least, are considered to be " One-Hit Wonders ." Just like many others, Murray Head had other successes beyond the monster hit song One Night in Bangkok from the Broadway show Chess . This is an earlier single from Murray Head that has been covered quite a bit, but I like the original; it's quite a well written track. Hear Say It Ain't So, Joe on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Pallas - Winter is Coming My song pick two years ago today: Watchtower - Tyrants in Distress My song pick three years ago today: Exist†Trace - Vanguard My song pick four years ago today: The Scorpions - Wind of Change My song pick five years ago today: Megadeth - The Right to Go Insane My song pick six years ago today: Earthless - Lost in the Cold Sun My song pick seven years ago today: Hawkwind - Star Cannibal My song pick eight years ago ...

From: Physical Graffiti ; Year: 1975; Genre: Hard Rock I've always really liked the music and arrangements to their song Houses of the Holy. There are a lot of hooks in this riff-heavy song and is extremely engaging to the musical ear. Hear Houses of the Holy on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: The Winery Dogs - Oblivion My song pick two years ago today: Lipps Inc - Funkytown My song pick three years ago today: Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV 1080 - Art of Fugue My song pick four years ago today: Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name My song pick five years ago today: Jethro Tull - Inside My song pick six years ago today: Nightwish - The Crow, the Owl and the Dove My song pick seven years ago today: Wilson Pickett - Mr. Magic Man My song pick eight years ago today: PAIN featuring Anette Olzon - Follow Me My song pick nine years ago today: Nightwish - Phantom of the Opera My song pick ten years ago today: Rush - Natural Science

From: 2112 ; Year: 1976; Genre: Hard Rock Bringing another album to a close today; with this pick I have chosen all the songs from Rush's 2112 . As I've said prior, I love their earlier material, combine that with the fact that you're lucky to find more than five songs on each of their 1970s records and it's not surprising that I'm running out of the earlier stuff. Anyway, this one's more of a straight-up rocker with a real hard edge. Hear Something for Nothing on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Gary Davis - Gotta Get Your Love My song pick two years ago today: Hall & Oats - Maneater My song pick three years ago today: Gerry Rafferty - Mattie's Rag My song pick four years ago today: Triumph - Battle Cry My song pick five years ago today: Porcupine Tree - On the Sunday Of Life My song pick six years ago today: Asia - Sole Survivor My song pick seven years ago today: Ray Stevens - I Need Your Help Barry Manilow My song ...

From: Street Songs ; Year: 1981; Genre: Funk Noticed it was Friday again and it felt like a Funky one to boot. Here's a great piece of funk from the late-great Rick James; I love that bass line. Hear Call Me Up on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Chris Squire - Hold Out Your Hand My song pick two years ago today: Al Green - Back Up Train My song pick three years ago today: Karla DeVito - Bloody Bess My song pick four years ago today: Dream Theater - Breaking All Illusions My song pick five years ago today: Tom Petty - You Don't Know It Feels My song pick six years ago today: Booker T. & the MGs - Melting Pot My song pick seven years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Don't Get Yourself In Trouble My song pick eight years ago today: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Scar Tissue My song pick nine years ago today: White Zombie - More Human Than Human My song pick ten years ago today: Marc Cohen - Walking In Memphis

From: Vincebus Eruptum ; Year: 1968; Genre: Blues Rock/Hard Rock Here's Blue Cheer's hard, psychedelic rock rendition of the blues from BB King; it's definitely a mix of sound that works all right. Hear Rock Me Baby on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: The Byrds - So You Want to be a Rock 'n' Roll Star My song pick two years ago today: The Chi-Lites - Stoned Out of My Mind My song pick three years ago today: Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence My song pick four years ago today: Yes - Madrigal My song pick five years ago today: Rammstein - Vergiss Uns Nicht My song pick six years ago today: Nocturnal Rites - End of our Rope My song pick seven years ago today: Jethro Tull - Velvet Green My song pick eight years ago today: Rammstein - Das Alte Leid My song pick nine years ago today: Savatage - The Piper Rap My song pick ten years ago today: The Steve Miller Band - Take The Money And Run

From: The Singles ; Year: 1984 (1972); Genre: Hard Rock Had The Who's Join Together incessantly running through my mind last night whilst trying to sleep. Since I do like the song I figured I should pick it today. Hear Join Together on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: The Steve Miller Band - Abracadabra My song pick two years ago today: Blood, Sweat & Tears - And When I Die My song pick three years ago today: Styx - Mademoiselle My song pick four years ago today: David Shire - Night on Disco Mountain My song pick five years ago today: King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man My song pick six years ago today: Rush - BU2B My song pick seven years ago today: Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band - Born to Run My song pick eight years ago today: Jethro Tull - Moths My song pick nine years ago today: Steely Dan - Dirty Work My song pick ten years ago today: John Denver - Opposite Tables

From: Long Live Heavy Metal ; Year: 2012; Genre: Power Metal Wow, another big milestone in my Song a Day blog: 4000th song picked. I never knew I'd keep on going this far, but I don't see myself stopping anytime soon; too many good songs still out there. Anyway, here's an aptly-titled songs for the occasion and from a band I have not chosen a song from to boot. Hear 4000 Torches on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Jethro Tull - Rover My song pick two years ago today: UB40 - Impossible Love My song pick three years ago today: Funkadelic - Funk Gets Stronger, Part 1 My song pick four years ago today: Lenny Kravitz - Fields of Joy My song pick five years ago today: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Here Comes My Girl My song pick six years ago today: Jaco Pastorius - Amerika My song pick seven years ago today: Waylander - Born to the Fight My song pick eight years ago today: Dizzy Gillespie - Night In Tunisia My song pick nine years ago...

From: Tea for the Tillerman ; Year: 1970; Genre: Folk Rock I have absolutely no clue as to why I felt like picking a Cat Stevens' song today. I've never really been a fan of him or his original recordings, but I definitely admire his songwriting ability and usually like hearing other artists cover his songs. I'm not sure why I've never warmed up to his original material; I mean, there's a lot of music I like that many others despise, but ya know, different strokes for different folks. Anyway, I heard his music a lot whilst growing up; it was everywhere, and I mean everywhere, and there is something nostalgic about his original recordings I suppose. Hear Wild World on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Steely Dan - The Fez My song pick two years ago today: The Nice - Diary of an Empty Day My song pick three years ago today: Foreigner - Spell Binder My song pick four years ago today: Al Di Meola - Spanish Eyes My song pick five years ago tod...

From: Harder..... Faster ; Year: 1980; Genre: Hard Rock/Progressive Rock Was listening to this King Crimson cover and knew I had to choose it. They definitely make the song their own whilst keeping true to the original; it really shows off how good of musicians April Wine are. Hear 21st Century Schizoid Man on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Mr. Big - The Monster in Me My song pick two years ago today: Jaco Pastorius - Liberty City My song pick three years ago today: Primus - The Air is Getting Slippery My song pick four years ago today: Soundgarden - Halfway There My song pick five years ago today: Jim Croce - Operator (That's Not the Way It Feels) My song pick six years ago today: Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Last Train to London My song pick seven years ago today: Jaco Pastorius - Kuru/Speak Like a Child My song pick eight years ago today: The Grass Roots - Let's Live For Today My song pick nine years ago today: The Ventures - Walk...

From: The Visitors ; Year: 1981; Genre: Rock/Pop Off and on ever since I heard that they were getting back together and releasing a new song later this year I've had ABBA on my mind. This was their last #1 hit song before their disbanding. I've always especially loved the bass and drums on this one. Hear One of Us on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Rick James - Below the Funk (Pass the J) My song pick two years ago today: Black Sabbath - Symptom of the Universe My song pick three years ago today: Pallas - Just a Memory My song pick four years ago today: Steeleye Span - Orfeo/Nathan's Reel My song pick five years ago today: Alestorm - Flower of Scotland My song pick six years ago today: Cybotron - Colossus My song pick seven years ago today: AC/DC - Let There Be Rock My song pick eight years ago today: Steeleye Span - Black Jack Davy My song pick nine years ago today: Heart - These Dreams My song pick ten years ago today: The Police ...

From: Now Do U Wanta Dance ; Year: 1977; Genre: Funk Another Friday has arrived, which I do declare it to be a Funky Friday . Here's some great funk to get your groove on to and boogie down. Hear Last Train on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Boston - Don't Be Afraid My song pick two years ago today: The Moody Blues - Blue World My song pick three years ago today: Queen - Gimme the Prize (Kurgan's Theme) My song pick four years ago today: Pink Floyd - Empty Spaces/Young Lust My song pick five years ago today: Quasar - As You Fall Asleep My song pick six years ago today: The Jimmy Castor Bunch - Troglodyte (Cave Man) My song pick seven years ago today: Stahlhammer - Eisbär My song pick eight years ago today: The Lovin' Spoonful - Summer in the City My song pick nine years ago today: Jethro Tull - Wond'ring Again My song pick ten years ago today: Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over

From: Branigan 2 ; Year: 1983; Genre: Synthpop/New Wave I was playing around with some of Laura Branigan's music; I decided to choose another of her songs. This is a different one, it basically is Falco's massive hit Der Kommissar with totally different reworked lyrics. This is not to be confused with After the Fire's English version of Der Kommissar ; same music and arrangements, but completely different lyrics. I've always been a fan of Laura Branigan's vocals, and in this one she does not disappoint. Hear Deep in the Dark on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Bay City Rollers - I Only Want to Be With You My song pick two years ago today: Jethro Tull - One Brown Mouse My song pick three years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - It's Over My song pick four years ago today: Petula Clark - Kiss Me Goodbye My song pick five years ago today: The Walter Murphy Band - Toccata and Funk in D Minor My song pick six years ago today...

From: Kiln House ; Year: 1970; Genre: Blues Rock The other day I saw that early cornerstone of the band, guitarist/vocalist Danny Kirwan passed away. He was one of the pillars of the pre-Lindsay Buckingham/Stevie Nicks era when their music was a bit more blues oriented. Anyway, I thought I'd pick one where Mr. Kirwan provided lead vocals, and also from an album I had not yet chosen a song from. Hear Station Man on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Fleetwood Mac - Emerald Eyes My song pick two years ago today: The Thermals - I Know the Pattern My song pick three years ago today: Grace Slick - El Diablo My song pick four years ago today: Marcus Miller - Juice My song pick five years ago today: Midnight Oil - Beds Are Burning My song pick six years ago today: Ludwig van Beethoven - Op. 67 - Symphony No.5 in C My song pick seven years ago today: Al Di Meola - Bianca's Midnight Lullaby My song pick eight years ago today: Ray Stevens - Mr. Businessm...

From: I Got a Name ; Year: 1973; Genre: Folk Rock Could not believe that I've not chosen this song yet; it's one of my absolute favourites from Jim Croce. There's so much I like about I Got a Name : the music is simply amazing and well composed, and the lyrics are so deep and powerful. Hear I Got a Name on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Rush - Open Secrets My song pick two years ago today: Sonny & Cher - The Beat Goes On My song pick three years ago today: The Soul Searchers - Think My song pick four years ago today: Soundgarden - My Wave My song pick five years ago today: Midnight Oil - The Stars of Warburton My song pick six years ago today: Rush - The Garden My song pick seven years ago today: Jethro Tull - Wicked Windows My song pick eight years ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - Take Me Away My song pick nine years ago today: Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies My song pick ten years ago today: Fastball - The Way

From: Repeat When Necessary ; Year: 1979; Genre: Pop/Rock Here's another one from "the dark recesses of my mind" so to speak; I'm considering doing a theme week on this idea, maybe. Anyway, this is a song originally penned by Elvis Costello but made famous by Dave Edmunds and the band he was part of called Rockpile, however was released as a solo record. Hear Girls Talk on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Sky - Where Opposites Meet My song pick two years ago today: Jigsaw - Cry ('Til The Tears Run Dry) My song pick three years ago today: Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Piano Concerto No. 1 My song pick four years ago today: Jim Reeves & Patsy Cline - Have You Ever Been Lonely (Have You Ever Been Blue?) My song pick five years ago today: Soundgarden - Worse Dreams My song pick six years ago today: Hawkwind - Quark, Strangeness and Charm My song pick seven years ago today: Steve Vai - Call it Sleep My song pick eight years ago to...

From: Pleasure & Pain ; Year: 1978; Genre: Soft Rock It's amazing how many songs drop from the dark recesses of your brain at times; ones you've not heard in ages. Most of the ones that fit that category for me are mostly songs from the mid-late '70s into the early '80s: when I was very young. They are mostly "Top 40" songs I heard from either the radio playing or someone was playing it. I'm not sure I'll ever run out of music from that time period, who knows, right? Anyway, whilst I've heard this song many times, up until just a bit ago, (when it popped into my mind), I did not even know who performed this song and was slightly surprised that it was Dr. Hook, but by the late '70s a lot of bands were getting into either hard punk or the softer rock sound if they were evolving musically. All in all it's actually a pretty good song in its own right, a perfect song to slow dance to and rub beltbuckles with that special someone in your...

From: Turkey ; Year: 1972; Genre: Hard Rock/Progressive Rock Over the past week the band Wild Turkey has been popping up off and on on my phone's playlist, so I figured I should take the hint and pick another one from the band. This one's got that great early 70's heavy edge with a lot of musicianship and technicality to boot. Hear A Universal Man on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: War - The World is a Ghetto My song pick two years ago today: Megadeth - The Scorpion My song pick three years ago today: Midnight Oil - Power and the Passion My song pick four years ago today: David Bowie - Magic Dance My song pick five years ago today: ZZ Top - Sleeping Bag My song pick six years ago today: Fleetwood Mac - Hypnotized My song pick seven years ago today: Les Paul and Mary Ford - Whispering My song pick eight years ago today: Rush - The Pass My song pick nine years ago today: Days of the New - The Down Town My song pick ten years ago today...

From: The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein ; Year: 1976; Genre: Funk/Soul Time for another Funky Friday ; been meaning to pick one for a spell now and am finally getting around to it. This is still one of my absolute favourite albums from Parliament and one of the many excellent pieces of music found on it. Hear Gettin' to Know You on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Silver - Wham Bam My song pick two years ago today: Genesis - Supper's Ready My song pick three years ago today: Ian Anderson - Puer Ferox Adventus My song pick four years ago today: Jon Oliva's Pain - Afterglow My song pick five years ago today: B.J. Thomas - The Eyes of a New York Woman My song pick six years ago today: Fleetwood Mac (Bob Welch) - Sentimental Lady My song pick seven years ago today: Hawkwind - Fall of Earth City My song pick eight years ago today: The Moody Blues - I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band) My song pick nine years ago today: Queen - One Vis...

From: Eye in the Sky ; Year: 1982; Genre: Progressive Rock/Symphonic Rock It's not true of me all the time, but as a rule if I'm sampling a record, (other than the hits or singles of course), I first go to the longest track and usually if I like it I'll like the other songs on the album. I feel that if an artist can go further than the standard less than 4 to 5 minutes and still keep it interesting then the rest of the music on the album is good as well; this is how it is with Eye in the Sky : after the title track I immediately went to this song and liked it, probably just as well as the main single. The multiple sections and use of both rock and orchestral instruments along with the amazing mournful vocals just makes just over 7 minutes of great music. Hear Silence and I on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Wall of Voodoo - Ring of Fire My song pick two years ago today: John Dowland - Time Stands Still My song pick three years ago today: Ta...

From: It's a Game ; Year: 1977; Genre: Rock/Pop/Disco Don't really know why I'm picking this song or why it's stuck in my head; I think I must've heard it sometime recently. Been hearing more and more '70s pop since it's been featured in some of the Marvel super hero films, which is most likely why I'm hearing it more. Sure does bring back memories though; heard this music a lot growing up. Hear You Made Me Believe in Magic on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Jethro Tull - Mother Goose My song pick two years ago today: Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV. 1027 - Sonata in G Major My song pick three years ago today: Ray Charles - Careless Love My song pick four years ago today: Ohio Players - Funky Worm My song pick five years ago today: Alice Cooper - Welcome to My Nightmare My song pick six years ago today: Hawkwind - City of Lagoons My song pick seven years ago today: Savatage - Surrender My song pick eight years ago today: ...

From: Songs from the Big Chair ; Year: 1985; Genre: Rock/New Wave Felt like picking another one from Tears for Fears for some reason.... Most would probably know this rather inspiring " transistor glamour " of sorts from being at the end of the song Head Over Heels, but by itself has everything needed and more in a small, compact space. Hear Broken on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: The Hollywood Argyles - Alley Oop My song pick two years ago today: Sweeney Todd - Roxy Roller My song pick three years ago today: Kool & the Gang - Spirit of the Boogie My song pick four years ago today: Jethro Tull - A Song for Jeffrey My song pick five years ago today: Foreigner - Head Games My song pick six years ago today: Pearl Jam - Alive My song pick seven years ago today: White Zombie - Thunder Kiss '65 My song pick eight years ago today: Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer My song pick nine years ago today: Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV 29 - Cantata ...

From: Rust Never Sleeps ; Year: 1979; Genre: Hard Rock/Punk I love the great mix between hard rock and punk in different sections of the song; you can tell that his music was evolving with the times. Hear Sedan Delivery on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Genesis - Can-Utility and the Coastliners My song pick two years ago today: The Cure - Friday I'm in Love My song pick three years ago today: Carmen - Margarita My song pick four years ago today: Ludwig Van Beethoven - Op.130 - String Quartet No.13 "Cavatina" My song pick five years ago today: Wadsworth Mansion - Sweet Mary My song pick six years ago today: Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath My song pick seven years ago today: Louis Armstrong - C'est si bon My song pick eight years ago today: Jethro Tull - Journeyman My song pick nine years ago today: Kansas - The Pinnacle My song pick ten years ago today: Rammstein - Asche Zu Asche

From: Follow Me... ; Year: 1966; Genre: Pop/Rock I had this song on my mind when getting ready to make today's pick, so you already know wot that means. Not only is The Pied Piper catchy and very "ear worming," but also has a lot of good music being played and great vocals. Of course the tried-and-true method of launching into major chords in the chorus really makes it all that more catchy. Hear The Pied Piper on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Dream Theater - When Your Time Has Come My song pick two years ago today: Zapp - A Touch of Jazz (Playing Kind of Ruff, Part 2) My song pick three years ago today: Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Livin' Thing My song pick four years ago today: Pink Floyd - When the Tigers Broke Free My song pick five years ago today: The Black Crowes - She Talks to Angels My song pick six years ago today: Rush - Headlong Flight My song pick seven years ago today: Frank Zappa - I'm the Slime My song pic...

From: American V: A Hundred Highways ; Year: 2006; Genre: Folk I've been playing this song a lot; in general, not Mr. Cash's version per se, but it lead to me finding his rendition of the song. Anyway, this was among his posthumous releases and a very soulful rendition of the song about parting way. Simply beautiful. Hear Four Strong Winds on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Suck My Kiss My song pick two years ago today: Rush - In the Mood My song pick three years ago today: Ugly Kid Joe - No One Survives My song pick four years ago today: Carmen - Siren of the Sea My song pick five years ago today: Duran Duran - Hungry Like the Wolf My song pick six years ago today: Argent - Music from the Spheres My song pick seven years ago today: Heart - Who Will You Run To My song pick eight years ago today: Benny Carter - All That Jazz My song pick nine years ago today: David Bowie - Rebel Rebel My song pick ten years a...

From: Africa (Single) ; Year: 2018; Genre: Rock/Pop I heard this cover of Toto's most famous hit the other day and loved what I was hearing. They did exactly wot was needed to make a good cover: being true to the original, but adding a lot of your own flavour. Very nice song. Hear Africa on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Red Rider - Human Race My song pick two years ago today: Lighthouse - One Fine Morning My song pick three years ago today: Gerry Rafferty - The Ark My song pick four years ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - After Dark My song pick five years ago today: Triumph - Allied Forces My song pick six years ago today: Asia - The Heat Goes On My song pick seven years ago today: Dream Theater - In the Presence of Enemies Parts I and II My song pick eight years ago today: Hiroko Moriguchi - Samurai Heart My song pick nine years ago today: England Dan & John Ford Coley - Simone My song pick ten years ago today: Rush - The Way the Wind B...
