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

From: Jailbreak ; Year: 1976; Genre: Hard Rock Thin Lizzy was one of bands that I started to like on my own accord, hearing them on the radio and such. Really stared getting into them after I bought and old 8-Track tape of this album; this is one of the songs I liked the most off of it. I really love the dynamics and the different sections of the song, it is very well constructed. Hear Cowboy Song on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Pallas - Ratracing My song pick 2 years ago today: The Miracles - Love Machine My song pick 3 years ago today: Mary Hopkin - Those Were the Days My song pick 4 years ago today: Azteca - Red Onions My song pick 5 years ago today: Dream Theater - The Looking Glass My song pick 6 years ago today: Deep Purple - Hush My song pick 7 years ago today: Paris - Big Towne, 2061 My song pick 8 years ago today: Band of Horses - No One's Gonna Love You My song pick 9 years ago today: Alan Menken and Howard Ashman - Feed Me (Git It)...

From: Hold Your Fire ; Year: 1987; Genre: Rock/World Music This is very much an experimental track that really doesn't sound much like a Rush song, other than mayhap Mystic Rhythms to some modicum of a degree. I, personally like it, it's not my favourite Rush composition by any measure, but it's one I do like. Hear Tai Shan on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Jaco Pastorius - Vampira My song pick 2 years ago today: Talking Heads - Psycho Killer My song pick 3 years ago today: Asia - Open Your Eyes My song pick 4 years ago today: Icehouse - Icehouse My song pick 5 years ago today: ABBA - Dum Dum Diddle My song pick 6 years ago today: Gilbert and Sullivan - Major-General's Song My song pick 7 years ago today: Rush - Presto My song pick 8 years ago today: Nirvana - Drain You My song pick 9 years ago today: Amon Amarth - The Pursuit of Vikings My song pick 10 years ago today: Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) - Effigy My song pick 1...

From: Night Shift (Soundtrack) ; Year: 1982; Genre: Rock For those who like the band or their most noted hit Harden My Heart should like this one; it's got everything you'd want. Hear Night Shift on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Mastodon - Hearts Alive My song pick 2 years ago today: The (Detroit) Spinners - It's a Shame My song pick 3 years ago today: Neil Young - This Note's For You My song pick 4 years ago today: Dire Straits - Telegraph Road My song pick 5 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Cheap Day Return My song pick 6 years ago today: Soundgarden - Black Rain My song pick 7 years ago today: Chickenfoot - Lighten Up My song pick 8 years ago today: Aerosmith - Dream On My song pick 9 years ago today: Rush - One Little Victory My song pick 10 years ago today: Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) - Fortunate Son My song pick 11 years ago today: Franz Schubert - Op. 1 - Der Erlkönig " The ErlKing "

From: Lament ; Year: 1984; Genre: New Wave I just felt like picking another song from Ultravox today. This song, which is obviously the title-track to their '84 album, reminds me a lot of Genesis/Phil Collins from the 1980s, but still it's own song. Hear Lament on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Hawkwind - Paradox My song pick 2 years ago today: Brave Belt - Summer Soldier My song pick 3 years ago today: John Denver - Let it Be My song pick 4 years ago today: The Beach Boys - Good Vibrations My song pick 5 years ago today: Sly and the Family Stone - I Want to Take You Higher My song pick 6 years ago today: Argent - Tragedy My song pick 7 years ago today: Weather Report - Barbary Coast My song pick 8 years ago today: Molly Hatchet - Gator Country My song pick 9 years ago today: The Beatles - I Me Mine My song pick 10 years ago today: Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) - Up Around The Bend My song pick 11 years ago today: Rammstein - Du R...

From: You Are the Quarry ; Year: 2004; Genre: Alternative Rock Was recently introduced to this song and instantly liked it. It's a catchy tune but at the same time very musically interesting; there's a lot of hooks in this one. Hear First of the Gang to Die on YouTube.

From: Sun Giant ; Year: 2008; Genre: Indie Rock/Folk Rock Here's a rather pretty one from Fleet Foxes. As general rule I usually like the mixing of folk sounds with other forms of rock. This one's no different: a near perfect mix of rock and lighter folkish music. Hear Mykonos on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Wild Turkey - Butterfly My song pick 2 years ago today: Waylander - Lámh Dearg My song pick 3 years ago today: Bob James - Main Theme From Star Trek: The Motion Picture My song pick 4 years ago today: Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song My song pick 5 years ago today: Buddy Holly & The Crickets- It's So Easy My song pick 6 years ago today: Johnny Cash - My Grandfather's Clock My song pick 7 years ago today: Ralfe Band - 1500 Years My song pick 8 years ago today: Jerry Reed - The Telephone My song pick 9 years ago today: The Beatles - Penny Lane My song pick 10 years ago today: Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) - Green River ...

From: Living in the Past ; Year: 1972 (1970); Genre: Progressive Rock Another song got embedded in my head and won't go away, so I'm picking it. Just Trying to Be is one of the song by Jethro Tull that has the distinction of being able to "earworm" you quite hard. A lot of it is John Evans' counter-line he plays on the celesta opposite Ian Anderson on acoustic guitar and vocals. It's actually not a bad song all in all; kind of fun to hear every now and then. Hear Just Trying to Be on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Pitchshifter - Genius My song pick 2 years ago today: Styx - Born For Adventure My song pick 3 years ago today: Ian Anderson - Heavy Metals My song pick 4 years ago today: Yes - The Ancient (Giants Under the Sun) My song pick 5 years ago today: Yes - Perpetual Change My song pick 6 years ago today: Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Mephistopheles My song pick 7 years ago today: The Gentrys - Keep On Dancing My song pick...

From: V ; Year: 2000; Genre: Progressive Rock I've been at this for over a decade and 4000+ songs picked and have not picked one from the prog favourite Spock's Beard; I'll remedy that today. A very aptly titled song for today, which is a Sunday. Hear All on a Sunday on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Van Der Graaf Generator - White Hammer My song pick 2 years ago today: Bernard Wright - Master Rocker My song pick 3 years ago today: Max Roach - Mr. X My song pick 4 years ago today: Styx - Queen of Spades My song pick 5 years ago today: Rush - Nobody's Hero My song pick 6 years ago today: Waylander - Echoes of the Sidhe My song pick 7 years ago today: The Steve Miller Band - Macho City My song pick 8 years ago today: Bad English - When I See You Smile My song pick 9 years ago today: The Beatles - Love Me Do My song pick 10 years ago today: Mr. Big - Green-Tinted Sixties Mind My song pick 11 years ago today: ABBA - Our Last Summe...

From: Lightbulb Sun ; Year: 2000; Genre: Progressive Rock I've been bingeing on PT, so yeah. Hatesong is a great prog/rock tune with anything and everything you'd ask for from the genre. Hear Hatesong on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Funkadelic - Phunklords My song pick 2 years ago today: Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - When Time Stood Still My song pick 3 years ago today: Soundgarden - Loud Love My song pick 4 years ago today: Joachim Witt - Das Jüngste Gericht My song pick 5 years ago today: Carmen - The Gypsies My song pick 6 years ago today: Rosanne Cash - Seven Year Ache My song pick 7 years ago today: R.E.M. - The One I Love My song pick 8 years ago today: Lynyrd Skynyrd - Tuesday's Gone My song pick 9 years ago today: The Beatles - Help! My song pick 10 years ago today: Santana - Black Magic Woman My song pick 11 years ago today: Bon Jovi - Tokyo Road

From: Air Cut ; Year: 1973; Genre: Folk Rock/Progressive Rock This is a rather pretty track that features Sonja Kristina's beautiful vocals and Eddie Jobson's work on synth, harpsichord, organ, and anything else with a keyboard or so it would seem. Hear Elfin Boy on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Gloryhammer - Goblin King of the Darkstorm Galaxy My song pick 2 years ago today: Russkaja - Energia!

From: 3:14 EST ; Year: 1976; Genre: Space Rock/Progressive Rock For the last couple of days I've had this song on my mind. It's funny because I had not heard it in at least 30 some years, or so it would seem. Anyway, this one has very much a Beatlesque sound to it; you can tell they were at least a large influence. There's a noted theatrical feel to it with a lot of great instrumentation. Hear Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Big Country - Fields of Fire (400 Miles) My song pick 2 years ago today: Icehouse - Walls My song pick 3 years ago today: Ten Years After - Let the Sky Fall My song pick 4 years ago today: Rush - Animate My song pick 5 years ago today: War - The Cisco Kid My song pick 6 years ago today: Crosby, Stills & Nash - Wooden Ships My song pick 7 years ago today: Supertramp - Crime of the Century My song pick 8 years ago today: Rammstein - Benzin My song pick 9 years ago toda...

From: Tupelo Honey ; Year: 1971; Genre: Rock It's been a while since the last time I chose a song from Van Morrison. I've always been a fan of his music in some degree, so it's a bit odd that I haven't revisited his music for some time now. The only reason I can think of is/was that back some 5-10 years ago, if memory serves me correctly, him and his record company were being rather heavy-handed with streaming services and thus much of his music was not online and due to that I did not pick any of his songs. Anyway, this is one that's always been a favourite with most crowds; I remember when I used to play in a cover band no matter the audience people danced to this song. Hear Wild Nights on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Van Halen - Best of Both Worlds My song pick 2 years ago today: Santo & Johnny - Deep Purple My song pick 3 years ago today: Dire Straits - Expresso Love My song pick 4 years ago today: Earth, Wind & Fire - Power ...

From: Bridge Over Troubled Water ; Year: 1970; Genre: Folk Rock Caught myself singing along to this song running through my mind as I was working yesterday. There's just something about their music, especially from this album and song in particular. I love the way this one was written and arranged musically with the quiet and mellow verses and the more bombastic choruses. Hear The Boxer on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Rush - Kid Gloves My song pick 2 years ago today: Blood, Sweat & Tears - Spinning Wheel My song pick 3 years ago today: Rick Dees and His Cast of Idiots - Disco Duck My song pick 4 years ago today: Ian Anderson - New Blood, Old Veins My song pick 5 years ago today: Lenny Kravitz - I Love the Rain My song pick 6 years ago today: Earth, Wind & Fire - September My song pick 7 years ago today: Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic My song pick 8 years ago today: The Kinks - Where Have All the Good Times Gone My song pick 9 years ag...

From: No Exit ; Year: 1988; Genre: Progressive Metal Wracking my brain for a good, fitting song to pick today. Sure, I had some on my mind, but nothing I felt like choosing. However, after some thought I came upon a band I had not visited for some time: Fates Warning. Specifically this kick-arse track from their '88 album No Exit ; it gets you pumped up for sure. Hear Anarchy Divine on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal My song pick 2 years ago today: Triumph - A Minor Prelude/All The Way My song pick 3 years ago today: Collective Soul - December My song pick 4 years ago today: Steeleye Span - Hard Times of Old England My song pick 5 years ago today: The Kinks - This Time Tomorrow My song pick 6 years ago today: Alestorm - Captain Morgan's Revenge My song pick 7 years ago today: Heart - How Deep It Goes My song pick 8 years ago today: Ozzy Osbourne - Flying High Again My song pick 9 years ago today: Amon Amarth ...

From: Nuclear Furniture ; Year: 1984; Genre: Rock Wanted to lose myself in some mid-80s music; hadn't picked a song from Jefferson Airplane/Starship in a while, so it seemed like a good fit. No Way Out is one of Jefferson Starship's last bigger hits; definitely has that mid-80s vibe. Hear No Way Out on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Cybotron - Parameters of Consciousness My song pick 2 years ago today: The Jimmy Castor Bunch - You Better Be Good (Or the Devil Gon' Getcha) My song pick 3 years ago today: Yes - No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed My song pick 4 years ago today: Weather Report - Havona My song pick 5 years ago today: Frank Zappa/The Mothers of Invention - Who Are the Brain Police?

From: The Yumyum Tree ; Year: 2009; Genre: Psychedelic Rock/Progressive Rock I had some of their music come on whilst driving the other day; I've been meaning to pick another one ever since. This one makes for some great work music; with so much excellent music going by you just lose all sense of time or so it would seem. Hear Yum Yum Tree on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Sly and the Family Stone - You Can Make it if You Try My song pick 2 years ago today: Deep Purple - Stormbringer My song pick 3 years ago today: Egg - Fugue in D-Minor My song pick 4 years ago today: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - The Last DJ My song pick 5 years ago today: Van Der Graaf Generator - Lemmings (Including Cog) My song pick 6 years ago today: Nightwish - Feel for You My song pick 7 years ago today: Genesis - Keep It Dark My song pick 8 years ago today: Rush - Lessons My song pick 9 years ago today: Badfinger - Come and Get It My song pick 10 years ago toda...

From: Let's Go Down To Funksville ; Year: 1968; Genre: Funk/Soul It's a Funky Friday again! For some reason I had the Dayton Sidewinders on the brain to boot, so put the two together. Hear Go Ahead On on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Victor Wooten - I Saw God My song pick 2 years ago today: Melvins - A History of Bad Men My song pick 3 years ago today: Wild Turkey - Ballad of Chuck Stallion and the Mustangs My song pick 4 years ago today: Nick Gilder - Here Comes the Night My song pick 5 years ago today: Billy Joel - She's Always a Woman My song pick 6 years ago today: Richard Wagner - WWV 90 - Liebestod (from " Tristian und Isolde ") My song pick 7 years ago today: Coven - Wicked Woman My song pick 8 years ago today: Pink Floyd - In the Flesh? My song pick 9 years ago today: Joachim Witt and Peter Heppner - Die Flut My song pick 10 years ago today: Jim Croce - You Don't Mess Around With Jim My song pick 11 years ago...

From: Hideaway ; Year: 1976; Genre: Rock/Pop I'm not sure if this one was intended to be part of the animated film released a year or so later, but I cannot help but think there's a connection. However, by itself it's a great song that has both rock and soft areas as well as some orchestral sections, which I think adds a lot. Hear Watership Down on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Hawkwind - Angels of Death My song pick 2 year ago today: Yes - America My song pick 3 years ago today: Styx - Miss America My song pick 4 years ago today: Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble - The House is a Rockin' My song pick 5 years ago today: Melvins - Honey Bucket My song pick 6 years ago today: Bing Crosby - Beautiful Dreamer My song pick 7 years ago today: Black 47 - Bankers and Gangsters My song pick 8 years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - House of the Rising Sun My song pick 9 years ago today: The Moody Blues - The Story in Your E...

From: Defying Gravity ; Year: 2017; Genre: Hard Rock/Progressive Rock It's so nice to hear people who are proficient musically still making good music; Mr. Big never disappoints for me in that department.

From: The Body, The Blood, The Machine ; Year: 2006; Genre: Indie Rock I had an incline to listen to The Thermals again; specifically this album, which is my favourite of their catalogue. Hear Power Doesn't Run on Nothing on YouTube.

From: Agents of Fortune ; Year: 1976; Genre: Hard Rock/Punk Tattoo Vampire is one of the many songs on Agents of Fortune that I'd let it play through on my old 8-Track. That's one thing missing from music today is "Album Oriented Rock;" you just drop the needle and let it play without skipping a song. Hear Tattoo Vampire on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Automat - The Rise My song pick 2 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Minstrel in the Gallery My song pick 3 years ago today: Pink Floyd - High Hopes My song pick 4 years ago today: Megadeth - 99 Ways to Die My song pick 5 years ago today: Bachman & Turner - That's What It Is My song pick 6 years ago today: Santo & Johnny - Harbour Lights My song pick 7 years ago today: Stone Temple Pilots - Plush My song pick 8 years ago today: Eddie Floyd - Knock on Wood My song pick 9 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Pussy Willow My song pick 10 years ago today: Bon Jovi featuring Big ...

From: Alpha ; Year: 1983; Genre: Progressive Rock Been a busy day thus far and music from the band Asia has been on my mind for some of the time today. Daylight was originally a bonus track on certain varieties of the album, but can be found most of the time on newer releases. Even though the song was more or less treated as an afterthought it's still one of my favourites from the record. Hear Daylight on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Steeleye Span - Lowlands of Holland My song pick 2 years ago today: Mr. Bungle - Squeeze Me Macaroni My song pick 3 years ago today: The Delfonics - Funny Feeling My song pick 4 years ago today: Alice in Chains - Heaven Beside You My song pick 5 years ago today: Paris - Red Rain My song pick 6 years ago today: Nocturnal Rites - Destiny Calls My song pick 7 years ago today: The Who - Going Mobile My song pick 8 years ago today: Louis Armstrong - The Blues are Brewin' My song pick 9 years ago today: The Beatle...

From: Smokey and the Bandit (soundtrack) ; Year: 1977; Genre: Country As many probably already know, Hollywood legend Burt Reynolds passed away a couple days ago. He was a big part of my childhood growing up watching his films. Anyway, I couldn't think of a better song to pick than this one from Smokey and the Bandit ; my favourite movie with him in it. Hear The Bandit on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Disco Dream and the Androids - Dream Machine My song pick 2 years ago today: Neil Young - Mr. Soul My song pick 3 years ago today: Lobo - A Simple Man My song pick 4 years ago today: Yes - Fly From Here (Suite) My song pick 5 years ago today: Pat Benatar - Invincible My song pick 6 years ago today: Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize My song pick 7 years ago today: Freddy Taylor and His Swing Men from Harlem - Blue Drag My song pick 8 years ago today: Hans Zimmer - Fighting 17th My song pick 9 years ago today: Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) - I Put ...

From: Rough Riders ; Year: 1979; Genre: Funk/Soul Thought it would be a good day for a Funky Friday and some real boogieing music. Every time I hear Lakeside I cannot believe that I don't hear more of their music out there; in my opinion they are right up their with the other funkmasters. Hear If You Like Our Music (Get Up And Move) on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Blancmange - Lose Your Love My song pick 2 years ago today: Curved Air - Metamorphosis My song pick 3 years ago today: Spencer Davis Group - I'm a Man My song pick 4 years ago today: Savatage - Streets My song pick 5 years ago today: Rammstein - Feuer und Wasser My song pick 6 years ago today: David Bowie - Let's Dance My song pick 7 years ago today: Rush - Distant Early Warning My song pick 8 years ago today: David Bowie - Oh!

From: Rumours ; Year: 1977; Genre: Rock/Pop This is a pick I've been wanting to make off and on for some time now, but kept on forgetting it for whatever reason. Second Hand News is one of the more pop oriented/radio friendly songs from the pen of Lindsey Buckingham and is among the many popular tracks off of this album. Hear Second Hand News on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Harlequin - Innocence My song pick 2 years ago today: Theme from 'The Dukes of Hazzard' (Good Ol' Boys) My song pick 3 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Up To Me My song pick 4 years ago today: Jethro Tull - A Time For Everything My song pick 5 years ago today: Megadeth - Wanderlust My song pick 6 years ago today: Pearls Before Swine - The Surrealist Waltz My song pick 7 years ago today: Queen - Spread Your Wings My song pick 8 years ago today: Rush - Working Man My song pick 9 years ago today: Elmore James - The Sky is Crying My song pick 10 years ago today: T...

From: Theme from M.A.S.H. (Suicide Is Painless) (single); Year: 1992; Genre: Alternative Rock The very second I beheld my pick number, 4077, which is the number of the M.A.S.H. unit in the television show , I knew I had to pick something related. Many children growing up in the early 1980s should have quite a few memories of the show and its endless reruns that you can still find playing on the television. Anyway, since I'd already chosen the original theme song many, many moons ago I was stuck with a conundrum. However, I happened upon this actually pretty good cover version by the Welsh group Manic Street Preachers; I have to say, I like it quite a lot. Hear Theme from M.A.S.H. (Suicide is Painless) on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Dream Theater - Bridges in the Sky My song pick 2 years ago today: Wolfmother - The Eye of the Beholder My song pick 3 years ago today: Huey Lewis & the News - Jacob's Ladder My song pick 4 years ago today: Sho Nuf...

From: Keep The Faith ; Tear: 1992; Genre; Hard Rock I was drawing a serious blank today, so I decided to "spin" my playlist and it ended up with a song from Bon Jovi's Keep The Faith album, so I'm blogging about one of the songs from it today. This has always been one of my favourites on the record; it's one of the heavier songs with a lot of good music throughout. Hear If I Was Your Mother on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Steely Dan - Aja My song pick 2 years ago today: The Coasters - Three Cool Cats My song pick 3 years ago today: Larry Graham & Graham Central Station - Crazy Chicken My song pick 4 years ago today: The Beatles - All You Need is Love My song pick 5 years ago today: The Offspring - Gotta Get Away My song pick 6 years ago today: Band of Horses - Knock, Knock My song pick 7 years ago today: Three Dog Night - Heaven is in Your Mind My song pick 8 years ago today: Queensrÿche - One & Only My song pick...

From: Misplaced Childhood ; Year: 1985; Genre: Progressive Rock While on the road yesterday I was listening to a bit of Marillion; it's been in my mind since, so I'm picking one. Misplaced Childhood is probably my third favourite of their albums after Clutching at Straws and Script for a Jester's Tear ; there's a lot of good music to be had on this record. Lavender was apparently one of the band's biggest hits and I will say it's a bit more consumable to a casual listener than most of their music. Hear Lavender on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - Spy in the House of the Night My song pick 2 years ago today: Chicago - Saturday in the Park My song pick 3 years ago today: Buffalo Springfield - Expecting to Fly My song pick 4 years ago today: Faith No More - We Care a Lot My song pick 5 years ago today: Nena - Rette Mich My song pick 6 years ago today: Rush - New World Man My song pick 7 years ago today: Ten Ye...

From: Night and Day ; Year: 1982; Genre: New Wave/Pop I was intending on picking another one, but this song and a bunch of others got stuck in my head. Hear Breaking Us In Two on YouTube.

BWV 130 ; Year: 1724; Genre: Baroque Period/classical September first once again marks the anniversary of when I started this blog: eleven years ago today I made my first post, which was a J.S. Bach piece. As I try to do almost all the time, except for that one time I forgot, I'm picking another one of his pieces; it is a very beautiful cantata. Hear BWV 130 on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Schefczyk - Play Bach Funky My song pick 2 years ago today: Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV 230 - Lobet den Herrn, alle Heiden My song pick 3 years ago today: Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV 225 - Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied My song pick 4 years ago today: 2590 Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV 1077 - Canone doppio sopr'il soggetto My song pick 5 years ago today: 2218 Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV 996 - Suite in E-Minor My song pick 6 years ago today: Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV. 1051 - Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 in B-Flat My song pick 7 years ago today: Johann Sebast...
