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

From: Flirtin' With Disaster ; Year: 1979; Genre: Hard Rock/Southern Rock There's some good hard southern rock to be had with this one; while I like most every part of the song, I absolutely love Danny Joe Brown's vocals and those lead guitars.

From: A Space In Time ; Year: 1971; Genre: Rock Yesterday I heard this song and I vaguely remember hearing it before.

From: Stardancer ; Year: 1972; Genre: Space Rock/Psychedelic Rock Stardancer is a rather pretty, introspective, and poetic song focusing on an astronaut and the child he leaves behind from his perspective.

From: The Nature of the Beast ; Year: 1981; Genre: Hard Rock/Space Rock The Nature of the Beast was the first album from April Wine that I owned and I played most of the songs quite a bit, so I like this one. On this track basically take some thumping Canadian hard rock and throw in some epic science fiction lyrics and you got a great song. Hear Caught in the Crossfire on YouTube.

From: Azteca ; Year: 1972; Genre: Latin Rock/Progressive Rock/Jazz Fusion I had Azteca on my mind since yesterday; thought I'd make a Funky Friday pick with one of their songs.

From: Helplessness Blues ; Year: 2011; Genre: Indie Rock My phone's playlist has been playing a lot of their music lately, so I'm taking it as a sign to pick another from the Fleet Foxes. Hear Grown Ocean on YouTube.

From: We're An American Band ; Year: 1973; Genre: Hard Rock Had some Grand Funk on my mind this morning; thought I'd pick one of their biggest hits. We're An American Band is another one that most should immediately recognize; it's a hard rock anthem of sorts with a good singalong chorus. Hear We're An American Band on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Argent - It's Only Money (Parts 1 + 2) My song pick 2 years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Woncha Take Me for a While My song pick 3 years ago today: Bass Extremes - Bassically Yours My song pick 4 years ago today: Bonnie Tyler - It's a Jungle Out There My song pick 5 years ago today: The Cult - Fire Woman My song pick 6 years ago today: The Beatles - Free as a Bird My song pick 7 years ago today: Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Julie Don't Live Here My song pick 8 years ago today: Fire Bomber (Humming Bird) - My Soul For You My song pick 9 years ago today: H...

From: Revolver ; Year: 1966; Genre: Rock Ever since coming home last night when this beautiful track came on my playlist it's been on my mind.

From: Tales From The Lush Attic ; Year: 1983; Genre: Progressive Rock I love the band's deployment of odd and changing meters on this track. It's done quite skillfully; you really won't notice it too much unless you're listening for it, which is precisely how you want it. Musically Awake and Nervous is done just as well; it's a fun song to listen to casually as well as with a musician's ear. Anyway, bottom line: if you like late 70s/early 80s progressive rock then this one's a must listen. Hear Awake and Nervous on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Nirvana - Polly My song pick 2 years ago today: Maktub - Lies My song pick 3 years ago today: Al Stewart - Year of the Cat My song pick 4 years ago today: Midnight Oil - Dreamworld My song pick 5 years ago today: Primus - John the Fisherman My song pick 6 years ago today: Pearl Jam - Go My song pick 7 years ago today: The Ventures - Beethoven's Sonata in C#-Minor My song pick...

From: Alpha ; Year: 1983; Genre: Progressive Rock Had Asia's Alpha album on my mind today; thought I'd pick one of my favourites off of it.

From: Agents of Fortune ; Year: 1976; Genre: Hard Rock Boy, I'm running out of songs to pick off of Agents of Fortune ; picked a lot of songs off it.

From: Distance Over Time ; Year: 2019; Genre: Progressive Metal Was checking out wot Dream Theater was up to and ended up with my first pick from 2019. This is the lead single from their upcoming new album: Distance Over Time .

Watch the music video on YouTube.

From: Armageddon: The Album ; Year: 1998; Genre: Hard Rock It's not my favourite from the band, but it has a lot of good memories tied to it.

From: Harvest ; Year: 1972; Genre: Folk Rock At one point when I was younger I really did not like this song, but over the years it's grown on me, perhaps part of the evolution of my musical tastes. Anywho... Old Man has a lot going on musically. James Taylor plays a counter line on the banjo, which adds a lot, but I especially love the steel guitar. Hear Old Man on YouTube.

From: 3:47 EST ; Year: 1976; Genre: Progressive Rock/Space Rock Going back to this band again; I find their music of "Beatles meets King Crimson/Alan Parsons Project" very fascinating. On Little Neutrino they really mix traditional instrumentation with all sorts of, cutting edge for the time, electronic devices. Hear Little Neutrino on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Pallas - Win or Lose My song pick 2 years ago today: AC/DC - Rock 'N' Roll Damnation My song pick 3 years ago today: The Allman Brothers Band - One Way Out My song pick 4 years ago today: Dream Theater - The Ministry of Lost Souls My song pick 5 years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Give it Time My song pick 6 years ago today: Jethro Tull - The Waking Edge My song pick 7 years ago today: The Scorpions - The Good Die Young My song pick 8 years ago today: Megadeth - Elysian Fields My song pick 9 years ago today: Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelli ...

From: Mystery to Me ; Year: 1973; Genre: Rock For Your Love is of course a cover of the song made famous by The Yardbirds, and I like the way they arranged it as well as Bob Welch's lead vocals.

From: Eddie Money ; Year: 1978; Genre: Rock Didn't have a song on my mind, so when this one eventually popped into my mind I jumped on it and made it my pick today.

My song pick 9 years ago today: Traveling Wilburys - End of the Line ...

From: Cherry Hill Park ; Year: 1969; Genre: Rock For no reason I had this song playing in my mind last night into today; I have not heard it for ages, so it's kind of odd that it would be playing in my mind, but I like odd. Anyway, I've always loved the vocals on this one, especially the more raspy and powerful vocals in the chorus. It's got a real nice melody as well, which is another aspect I like about it.

From: Disintegration ; Year: 1989; Genre: Alternative Rock Yet again I got "earwormed" after hearing this track prior; I love that anchoring melody played on the organ and that nice, solid rhythm of the bass and drums.

From: Beautiful Loser ; Year: 1975; Genre: Rock Happened to hear this one yesterday and as normal I decided it would make a great pick.

From: The Marshall Tucker Band ; Year: 1973; Genre: Southern Rock/Country Over the last couple of days I had this song on my mind.

From: Big Bang Theory ; Year: 2005; Genre: Blues Rock Heard this song for the first time today; it's of course, the track originally done by Blind Faith, which is a classic. I actually like this cover quite a bit, it does exactly wot is needed in my opinion for a cover song to be good: 1. Pay tribute to the original, and 2. Make the song their own at the same time.

From: Aldo Nova ; Year: 1982; Genre: Hard Rock Yesterday I had some of his songs come on the radio and I happened to notice that I have yet to choose one of his tracks for my blog, so I'm rectifying that today. In my opinion Under the Gun is one of the stronger tracks, if not the strongest on this album. Hear Under the Gun on YouTube.

From: Odessey and Oracle ; Year: 1968; Genre: Rock/Pop Happy New Year! I hope this one ends up being a great new one for us all. This rather Beatlesque sounding track felt like a perfect fit not only for its title and lyrics, but musically as well. Anyway, Last year on his song-a-day blog, Ronald wrote down some stats associated with his site , so I figured I'd totally borrow that idea this year: It was another year of not missing a day Total page views last year: about 25,000. The top 10 countries who view my blog, (Google only lists the top 10): U.S., Russia, Germany, France, South Korea, Belgium, Ukraine, Denmark, The United Kingdom, and Poland. I've had zero likes/reactions/comments this last year, so that's kind of a downer, but there you go. I guess not much to write home about to say the least. Hear This Will Be Our Year on YouTube.
