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

From: The Mollusk ; Year: 1997; Genre: Alternative Rock/Psychedelic Rock I had some songs playing in my head for the last little bit; couldn't place who the artist was who performed them, but I was lucky enough to finally figure out one of them. Kind of both surprised and not surprised that I hadn't chosen a song from Ween yet, I heard them a lot back in the day. Anyway, The Mollusk is and will probably be one of my favourites from Ween; mixing their normal whimsical lyrics with interesting musical ideas really works well on this song and album. Hear The Mollusk on YouTube.

From: Hall of the Mountain King ; Year: 1987; Genre: Power Metal/Progressive Metal After hearing one from Hall of the Mountain King earlier this morning it got me in the mood to hear some more.

From: Abracadabra ; Year: 1982; Genre: Rock On an album that is more or less known for its electronic/keyboard music this one's stands out a wee bit in my opinion. There's quite a few catchy hooks throughout this one that really grabs your attention, and of course the danceablilty of the song also helps. Hear Give It Up on YouTube.

From: Stab the Unstoppable Hero ; Year: 2002; Genre: Indie Rock/Alternative Rock It's been a really, really long time since I picked one from the band Arlo. I've noted that finding information on this band is extremely difficult; from wot I can tell this was their last album and they are not apparently active for the past 15 years or so sadly.  Hear Stab the Unstoppable Hero on YouTube.

From: Still Life ; Year: 1976; Genre: Progressive Rock I've picked songs from Still Life before and I've probably said it then as well: I really like this album; it is probably my favourite from Van der Graaf Generator. If you like music and technicality therein then this one would be right up your alley. Heck, even if you were a pop music fan you might like it given a real chance. Hear Pilgrims on YouTube.

From: Brave Belt II ; Year: 1972; Genre: Hard Rock Needed to pick something with a hard-driving sound; one of the first bands to come into my mind was BTO and then on to listening to some more of the band's first incarnation, which is Brave Belt.

From: Crest of a Knave ; Year: 1987; Genre: Hard Rock Bringing another album to a close with this pick; apparently I've already chosen every other song on it. It seems as of late that I've been wrapping up more and more albums, so unless I start choosing songs I've already picked, I have to say goodbye to these albums as far as my blog goes anyway. Raising Steam is one of the heavier songs on this album and is more or less a straight-ahead simpler song than the others on the album, but is a great song nevertheless. Hear Raising Steam on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Tesla - Hang Tough My song pick two years ago today: Quincy Jones - Summer in the City My song pick three years ago today: The Delfonics - Hey Love My song pick four years ago today: Porcupine Tree - Lazarus My song pick five years ago today: Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget About Me) My song pick six years ago today: The Beatles - I've Got a Feeling My song pick sev...

From: Blind Melon ; Year: 1992; Genre: Alternative Rock Wow, it's been since pick #223 that I've chosen one from Blind Melon; it's way past due for me to pick another one of their songs. Deserted is one of my favourites off of their first album, one of those songs that captures both beauty and power. Hear Deserted on YouTube.

From: Golden Grass ; Year: 1968; Genre: Pop/Psychedelic Rock Ever since hearing in a few days ago I've had this song in my mind off and on.

From: Summer Surf ; Year: 1964; Genre: Surf Guitar Rock Well, the summer season has been making its presence known; it's hot as heck. Wanted to pick another song about this rather toasty time of year and looked no farther than the "King of the Surf Guitar," Dick Dale, for my choice. This is more of a mellower track, but filled with some amazingly beautiful music. Hear Summer Surf on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Neil Young - Computer Cowboy (aka Syscrusher) My song pick two years ago today: Jethro Tull - The Foot of Our Stairs My song pick three years ago today: Peter Tosh - Rumors of War My song pick four years ago today: War - Low Rider My song pick five years ago today: Midnight Oil - Truganini My song pick six years ago today: The Nightwatchman - I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night My song pick seven years ago today: Van der Graaf Generator - Childlike Faith In Childhood's End My song pick eight years ago today: ...

From: Elvis' Golden Records ; Year: 1958 (1957); Genre: Rock 'n Roll/R&B For some reason I've had Elvis on my brain a lot today, so I figured what the heck.

From: All Summer Long ; Year: 1964; Genre: Surf Rock/Pop Had Beach Boy's music on my mind and thought I should pick one. I was absolutely positive I picked this song to the point I'm wondering if something happened to my blog... but after scouring the site I turned up absolutely no trace of the song. I'm going ahead and picking it because: 1. I like the song a lot, 2. a lot of memories tied to it, and 3. the current season/subject matter of it. Anyway, excellent song for a hot summer day, even better when the sun is setting. Hear All Summer Long on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Bernard Wright - Who Do You Love My song pick two years ago today: Alice in Chains - Check My Brains My song pick three years ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - Fire of Unknown Origin My song pick four years ago today: Duran Duran - Is There Something I Should Know My song pick five years ago today: Cybotron - Sonic Overdrive My song pick six years ago today: Pearl Jam...

From: #1 Record ; Year: 1972; Genre: Rock/Pop Lately I've been finding myself watching re-runs of That '70s Show . I don't know why, nothing else on I guess; makes me wonder why I still have cable.... For those not aware, this is the original song that was covered by Todd Griffin and later Cheap Trick for the show's theme song. It was a good choice in my and probably many others' opinion as well; kind of exemplifies early '70s power pop. Hear In The Street on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Bowling for Soup - 1985 My song pick two years ago today: Neil Young - Computer Age My song pick three years ago today: Johnny Cash - Thirteen My song pick four years ago today: Jethro Tull - Valley My song pick five years ago today: Ian Anderson - Photo Shop My song pick six years ago today: Ozzy Osbourne - Over the Mountain My song pick seven years ago today: Ome Henk - Neem Een Ander In De Maling ( Barbie Girl ) My song pick eight yea...

From: Frampton ; Year: 1975; Genre: Rock I'm in over 4000 songs picked and I realized that there's no Frampton on my list yet, so today I'm remedying that oversight with this very well-known hit song.

From: Erpland ; Year: 1990; Genre: Progressive Rock/Psychedelic Rock I find Ozric Tentacles to be one of those bands whose music is perfect to listen to whilst waiting or just passing time. It acts as both "wallpaper music" as well as something very interesting to occupy your attention. Anyway, to best describe this song is electronic and traditional rock music meets flamenco arabe: a beautiful piece. Hear Mysticum Arabicola on YouTube.

From: Pleased to Meet Me ; Year: 1987; Genre: Alternative Rock Last night I was playing around with this album on my guitar; I really was enjoying this track in particular and since I hadn't picked one from The Replacements yet I figured it would be a great pick.

From: Word of Mouth ; Year: 1984; Genre: Rock I was wanting to pick a song from The Kinks today; I decided to go with this rather powerful track from the pen of Dave Davies.

From: Encore of Golden Hits ; Year: 1960 (1955); Genre: R&B/Doo-Wop Common story on my blog: a band was on my mind and thus I'm picking one from them.  Every time I hear The Platters I'm always amazed at their music and performance; totally deserving of the title of musical legends.

From: The Final Cut ; Year: 1983; Genre: Progressive Rock I wanted to hear some Pink Floyd, but wanted to stay away from the "regular stuff," so I went for this underrated album.

Anyway, this one is my favourite song from the album, however, there's a lot of great music on this record. Hear Your Possible Pasts on YouTube.
