4221. Tom Rapp - Stardancer

Image
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.

Image
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.

Image
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.

4216. Grand Funk Railroad - We're An American Band

Image
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.

4215. The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby

4214. IQ - Awake and Nervous

Image
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.

Image
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.

4210. Journey - Remember Me

Image
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.

4209. Neil Young - Old Man

Image
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. My song pick 1 year ago today: Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Ma-Ma-Ma Belle My song pick 2 years ago today: Bon Jovi - Hey God My song pick 3 years ago today: Parliament - Let's Play House My song pick 4 years ago today: Rare Earth - Warm Ride My song pick 5 years ago today: Pallas - Warriors My song pick 6 years ago today: Soundgarden - Flower My song pick 7 years ago today: Northern Kings - Wanted Dead or Alive My song pick 8 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Bungle in the Jungle My song pick 9 years ago today: Edvard Grieg - Op. 54, No.3 - The March of the Trolls ( Trold

4208. Klaatu - Little Neutrino

Image
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.

Image
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.

4205. Billy Joe Royal - Cherry Hill Park

Image
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. Hear Cherry Hill Park on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Q Lazzarus - Goodbye Horses My song pick 2 years ago today: Al Di Meola - Black Cat Shuffle My song pick 3 years ago today: David Bowie - Starman My song pick 4 years ago today: King Crimson - Starless My song pick 5 years ago today: Black 47 - Maria's Wedding My song pick 6 years ago today: Van Halen - 1984 My song pick 7 years ago today: Savatage - Holocaust My song pick 8 years ago today: The United States of America - The Garden of Earthly Delights My song pick 9 years

Image
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.
