From: Long Cold Winter ; Year: 1988; Genre: Glam Metal/Hard Rock It was really weird, but the title of this song popped into my head for no reason last night; of course I immediately had to look it up.

From: A Kind of Magic ; Year: 1986; Genre: Rock This one's got that classic Queen sound all over it; still surprises me that this track isn't as notable as others in their catalogue. Man, you gotta love Freddy Mercury in these ballads. Hear Friends Will Be Friends on YouTube.

From: Catfish Rising ; Year: 1991; Genre: Blues Rock Had the blues-rock stylings from Catfish Rising get triggered in my mind today by someone's passing comment that had really nothing to do with the record or this song, so I again take it as a sign and I'm picking one from it. This one's a bluesy hard rock track with a lot of good music to be heard; even if you don't like the band but like blues rock you should like this song. Hear Night in the Wilderness on YouTube.

From: Diesel and Dust ; Year: 1987; Genre: Alternative Rock I just love this album; so many excellent songs on it; not a single weak track in my opinion.

From: Nashville Skyline ; Year: 1969; Genre: Folk Rock I might bring down the hammer on myself for saying this, but vocally this is one of my favourite Dylan song; I just love that lower, more controlled delivery. Anyway, besides the vocals this is a truly beautiful song all the way around. That pedal steel guitar, the vocals, the bass, the drums, etc... all are more or less perfect for the song. Hear Lay Lady Lay on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: ZZ Top - I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide My song pick two years ago today: Spooky Tooth - Better By You, Better By Me My song pick three years ago today: Hawklords (Hawkwind) - (Only) The Dead Dreams of the Cold War Kid My song pick four years ago today: Peter Gabriel - Big Time My song pick five years ago today: A-ha - Take On Me My song pick six years ago today: Return to Forever - Excerpt from the First Movement of Heavy Metal My song pick seven years ago today: Homer & Jethro - The Billboard Song ...

From: Ya! Ya! ; Year: 1961; Genre: Rhythm & Blues/Rock 'n Roll Whilst working late last night this song literally just popped into my head and kept on going. Ya Ya is another one of those monster hits from the late 50s/early 60s that most people listening to music or watching films based in that time would've heard. Hear Ya Ya on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Curved Air - Back Street Luv My song pick two years ago today: Fairport Convention - Fotheringay My song pick three years ago today: Steeleye Span - Van Diemen's Land My song pick four years ago today: Jethro Tull - Kelpie My song pick five years ago today: Wild Turkey - Battle Hymn My song pick six years ago today: Johann Strauss I - Op. 154 - Lorelei Rhein Klänge My song pick seven years ago today: Puhdys - Hier Oben My song pick eight years ago today: Rush - Circumstances My song pick nine years ago today: Rammstein - Du Hast My song pick ten years ago today: Jethro...

From: White Feathers ; Year: 1983; Genre: New Wave It's one of those days where a song picked itself. At some point this morning I must've heard this very early '80s hit and it really got lodged in the ol' cranium. Anyway, everyone should know this big hit, especially of those who were fortunate enough to grow up in the 1980s. Hear Too Shy on YouTube.

From: Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe ; Year: 1989; Genre: Progressive Rock Whilst getting some long overdue work completed, amongst other songs, I had some of Yes and ABWH music on my brain; decided to pick one from ABWH's only album.

From: Asia ; Year: 1982; Genre: Progressive Rock Asia's debut album is another one of those that I like every song on it; I can play it from start to finish without skipping a track. Whilst this one might be considered a "lesser song" amongst its brethren it has a lot of their same aspects and more. Hear Cutting it Fine on YouTube.

From: Sugar Shack ; Year: 1963; Genre: Rock 'n Roll This is one of those songs where there's certain aspects that I love and others I don't as much. For me wot I really like the most in this one is that clacky, driving bass line and the really neat counter-line to the melody played on the organ. Hear Sugar Shack on YouTube.

From: Who's Zoomin' Who? ; Year: 1985; Genre: Soul/R&B/Pop As most everybody's aware, the undisputed Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin just passed away; I'm still in shock from it. Her music has always been around me and she was among my favourite singers. She and her amazing voice will surely be missed. Anyway, this is one of her songs I've always loved since I first heard it. I like the way she has always kept herself and her music relevant no matter wot the tastes of the music scene; not very many people in music can say the same for their musical career that span about six decades. I can say for certain that people will be listening to Aretha Franklin's music for centuries to come. Hear Freeway of Love on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Queen - She Makes Me (Stormtrooper in Stilettos) My song pick two years ago today: The Doors - The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat) My song pick three years ago today: Ugly Kid Joe - Busy Bee M...

From: Can't Deny Me (Single) ; Year: 2018; Genre: Alternative Rock Found out about this new single from Pearl Jam yesterday and thought I'd go ahead and give it a listen. By no means is it my favourite from the band or one that I say "I really like," but it is one that does get better the more you're listening to it and I always love it when new material is released from bands I like. Hear Can't Deny Me on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Helloween - Hocus Pocus My song pick two years ago today: Foreigner - Juke Box Hero My song pick three years ago today: AC/DC - Touch Too Much My song pick four years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Find Out About Love My song pick five years ago today: Hawkwind - Orgone Accumulator My song pick six years ago today: Robert Schumann - Op. 17 - Fantasie in C My song pick seven years ago today: Muse - Supermassive Black Hole My song pick eight years ago today: Eddie Lang - Eddie...

From: A Whole New Thing ; Year: 1967; Genre: Funk/Soul Was thinking about Sly and the Family Stone, especially their earlier material.

From: Advance and Vanquish ; Year: 2004; Genre: Thrash Metal/Power Metal When I first heard this song I knew it had to be this pick number. The year in which the mechanical abomination, " The Wykydtron ," is created that leads to this horror story is 4055, so it was a perfect time to choose it I would think. Anyway, this is a good mix of metal styles and combined with the science fiction dystopian story it makes for a killer song. Hear Wykydtron on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Deep Purple - Call of the Wild My song pick two years ago today: The Lively Ones - Surf Rider My song pick three years ago today: The Rhythm Machine - You Got Action, You Got Me My song pick four years ago today: Megadeth - Liar My song pick five years ago today: Weather Report - Second Sunday in August My song pick six years ago today: AC/DC - Thunderstruck My song pick seven years ago today: Victor Wooten - Norwegian Wood My song pick eight years ago today: Haw...

From: The Wham Of That Memphis Man! ; Year: 1964; Genre: Rock 'n Roll/Blues Rock This is one of the more popular covers of the song Memphis, which was originally written and recorded by Chuck Berry.

From: Hold On, I'm Coming ; Year: 1966; Genre: Soul I happened to hear this track last night and I immediately I had today's pick. It's another one of those cases where I'm honestly surprised that I had not picked it prior. This is one of those songs that most should instantly recognize and start movin' to. Hear Hold On, I'm Coming on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Glen Campbell - Wichita Lineman My song pick two years ago today: Meat Loaf - Life is a Lemon (and I Want My Money Back) My song pick three years ago today: Martin Barre - I Raise My Glass To You My song pick four years ago today: ABBA - Knowing Me, Knowing You My song pick five years ago today: The Kooks - She Moves In Her Own Way My song pick six years ago today: Hector Berlioz - Op. 14 - Symphonie Fantastique: Épisode de la vie d'un Artiste... en cinq parties My song pick seven years ago today: Jethro Tull - Dun Ringill My song pick eight years ago today: Ia...

From: Blue Sky - Night Thunder ; Year: 1975; Genre: Country This is one of those albums I grew up with and still like to this day; my mom played it a lot. This was one of my top favourites on the album, mostly due to the storytelling of a horse and a girl who pays the ultimate price to recapture it and becomes some sort of a ghost riding the plains with her horse. Quite a pretty and haunting song. Hear Wildfire on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Alestorm - No Grave But The Sea My song pick two years ago today: Antoine Busnois - Gaude Coelestis Domina My song pick three years ago today: Al Di Meola - Love Theme from "Pictures of the Sea" My song pick four years ago today: Bad Medicine - Trespasser My song pick five years ago today: Styx - Man in the Wilderness My song pick six years ago today: Curved Air - Vivaldi My song pick seven years ago today: Megadeth - Endgame My song pick eight years ago today: Sirenia - The Other Side My song p...

From: Electric Tepee ; Year: 1992; Genre: Space Rock/Progressive Rock Even though it's a work day I'm taking it a bit easier after the super mondo busy weekend. Anyway, Hawkwind has always been one of my many "go-to" bands for unwinding and decompressing. These 8 minutes of high-speed psychedelic space rock works on so many levels.

From: Fandangos in Space ; Year: 1973; Genre: Progressive Rock/Flamenco Rock Whilst on the road yesterday I was really enjoying hearing the music of the Avant-garde Flamenco Rock band Carmen. This is a very interesting song both musically and lyrically as well. It changes up the beat quite a few times to the point you would almost think it was a different song all together; all the music is just incredible throughout. Hear Tales of Spain on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - Dragon Lady My song pick two years ago today: The Rolling Stones - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction My song pick three years ago today: The Sword - Apocryphon My song pick four years ago today: The Doors - Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar) My song pick five years ago today: Slade - Slam the Hammer Down My song pick six years ago today: Stahlhammer - Mensch My song pick seven years ago today: Rush - Afterimage My song pick eight years ago today: Andrew Lloyd Webber and...

From: H to He, Who Am the Only One ; Year: 1970; Genre: Progressive Rock It's been a busy weekend, using some extreme prog/rock to decompress a little.

From: Stormwatch ; Year: 1979; Genre: Progressive Rock Had Jethro Tull's North Sea Oil on my mind this morning for some reason, and since I like the song and it's from one of my absolute favourite bands, I thought I should pick it. One aspect of this song that I especially love is how they use an uncommon time signature, 5/4, throughout it and you wouldn't really notice it without paying close attention. Hear North Sea Oil on YouTube.

From: Imaginos ; Year: 1988; Genre: Rock Choosing one off of BÖC's Imaginos record today; Magna of Illusion in particular felt like a perfect fit. It has that great '80s sound that the band was putting out that I liked so much. A little bit of trivia here, but the lead guitar on this track was performed by Robby Krieger of The Doors. Hear Magna of Illusion on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Ex Deo - Divide et Impera My song pick two years ago today: Napoleon XIV - They're Coming to Take Me Away Ha-Haaa!
