From: Club Ninja ; Year: 1985; Genre: Hard Rock Whilst one of their albums to be a favourite of critics to hammer on, or so it would seem, there is something a wee bit timeless about the sound they put into Club Ninja .

From: Head East ; Year: 1978; Genre: Rock For the last little bit I've had Head East on my mind. Sadly, I have not chosen a song from them for some time; ten years to be exact.

From: Why Are You OK ; Year: 2016; Genre: Indie Rock Hard to believe that it's been twelve years since I discovered Band of Horses. I'm certainly glad I did, they've released a lot of good music and only had one album that was a letdown in my opinion.

From: Halcyon Days ; Year: 2004; Genre: Rock Well, it's Thanksgiving here again; couldn't think of a good song to fit the occasion, but I had the music of Bruce Hornsby on my mind.

From: Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus ; Year: 1962; Genre: Jazz/Cool Jazz I don't know wot it is, but every now and then I get an notion to listen to West Coast "Cool" Jazz, Vince Guaraldi's music in particular.

From: War On The Bullshit ; Year: 1986; Genre: Funk/Soul I've had this super hard funky track in my library for quite a while now and kept forgetting to choose it for a Funky Friday until I heard it play on shuffle the other day. Whilst the title is more than a bit profane, (which is somewhat of a turn-off for me), the they use it non-gratuitously and they're able to get their message across quite well. Gotta love that funky bass and rhythm though; it's the main draw for me. Hear War On The Bullshit on YouTube.

From: Electric Ladyland ; Year: 1968; Genre: Hard Rock/Psychedelic Rock I had some fun playing along with some of Jimi Hendix's music last night and still had his music on my mind when I went to pick a song today.

From: Dare ; Year: 1981; Genre: Synthpop/New Wave Most of yesterday and today I've had songs from The Human League running through my mind, as always taking it as a sign I should pick one of those songs. Here in The States at least this is one of their more recognizable songs. Yes, the sound is pretty much dated to the sound of the early 1980s, but not in a bad way. I guess you could call it a vintage song that has aged rather well; it's definitely one you can dance to without a doubt. Hear Don't You Want Me Baby on YouTube.

From: Dangerous Age ; Year: 1988; Genre: Hard Rock Whilst not a song that'd probably come to mind when you think about Bad Company, it still has some elements you'd expect and it's a good straight-up song to rock out to.

From: The Sentinel ; Year: 1984; Genre: Progressive Rock I guess I'm bringing Pallas' The Sentinel to a close on my blog by picking the last song on the album since I only pick a song by an artist once.

From: Reise, Reise ; Year: 2004; Genre: Industrial Metal/Neue Deutsche Härte It's been a bit since I really have been heavily into Rammstein; I really don't know exactly why, maybe it's the lack of new material for nearly a decade, who knows.

From: War Child ; Year: 1974; Genre: Progressive Rock For some reason I had the mid 70s era of 'Tull on my mind this morning.
