Image
From: The Colour of Spring ; Year: 1986; Genre: New Wave/Rock/Pop Yesterday I found out that guitarist/singer/songwriter of the band Talk Talk amongst others, Mark Hollis , passed away.

4251. Three Dog Night - Family of Man

Image
From: Harmony ; Year: 1971; Genre: Rock Had Three Dog Night on my mind today. I absolutely love the thumping, funky bass and drums throughout this one; they really drive the song.

4250. Hawkwind - Sweet Obsession

Image
From: Blood of the Earth ; Year: 2010; Genre: Progressive Rock/Space Rock It has been a deluge of sorts from my playlist on my phone of Hawkwind songs; I'm taking it as a sign I should choose another of their tracks. Blood of the Earth has been a record in particular which a lot of the music has come from, so that's where today's song comes from. It's really a timeless sounding song in the context of ones from Hawkwind: good driving rhythm, excellent leads, plus the vocal stylings us fans love to hear. Hear Sweet Obsession on YouTube.

4246. Steve Miller Band - True Fine Love

Image
From: Book of Dreams ; Year: 1977; Genre: Rock I had another song in mind to pick today, but the Steve Miller Band was on my mind. This is one of my favourites off of Book of Dreams ; whilst being a little pop oriented, Steve Miller's trademark bluesy rock just adds a touch of magic to it in my opinion.

4245. Faith No More - The Real Thing

Image
From: The Real Thing ; Year: 1989; Genre: Alternative Metal I heard some of The Real Thing yesterday wanted to pick another one off this album today; I settled on the title track for no reason whatsoever other than I like it a lot. This is one of those songs that, in my opinion, should've been one of the hits, but for whatever reason it did not make it. Hear The Real Thing on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Jethro Tull - Doctor To My Disease My song pick 2 years ago today: Dire Straits - Private Investigations My song pick 3 years ago today: Deep Purple - Hallelujah My song pick 4 years ago today: The Rhythm Machine - Put a Smile on Time My song pick 5 years ago today: Dream Theater - Pull Me Under My song pick 6 years ago today: "Weird Al" Yankovic - Another One Rides the Bus My song pick 7 years ago today: Genesis - The Knife My song pick 8 years ago today: Spaghetti Western Orchestra - The Good, The Bad And The Ugly My song pick 9 ye

Image
From: Songs From The Wood (40th Anniversary Edition: The Steven Wilson Remix) ; Year: 1977; Genre: Progressive Rock This was an old, previously unreleased song that was included on the Steven Wilson remix; it's good to hear some new vintage music from one of my top favourite bands.

4243. The Clifford Brown & Max Roach Quintet - Parisian Thoroughfare

Image
From: Clifford Brown & Max Roach ; Year: 1954; Genre: Hard Bop Jazz/Jazz In my opinion this is arguably one of the best jazz records ever recorded; or at least one of the best Hard Bop Jazz albums in existence. The well-defined melodies keep the instrumentalists from getting too out of control during solos; it's definitely a treat for the ears. Hear Parisian Thoroughfare on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Laura Branigan - Solitaire My song pick 2 years ago today: Simon & Garfunkle - Scarborough Fair/Canticle My song pick 3 years ago today: Uriah Heep - Easy Livin' My song pick 4 years ago today: Motörhead - Overkill My song pick 5 years ago today: The Guess Who - 6 A.M. or Nearer My song pick 6 years ago today: "Weird Al" Yankovic - Eat It My song pick 7 years ago today: Queensrÿche - Jet City Woman My song pick 8 years ago today: Frank Zappa - Mudd Club My song pick 9 years ago today: U2 - I Will Follow My song pick 10 yea

4242. The Moody Blues - Breaking Point

Image
From: Sur La Mer ; Year: 1988; Genre: Rock Mid/late 1980s Moody Blues on my mind today, so I'm picking one from that era. This is another one of their songs with a bit of synth; the Moodies at least kept themselves very relevant through that period, which is quite different from their 60s and 70s material, that's for sure. Hear Breaking Point on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Porcupine Tree - Waiting (Phase One and Phase Two) My song pick 2 years ago today: Earth, Wind & Fire - Bad Tune My song pick 3 years ago today: Black Sabbath - Children of the Grave My song pick 4 years ago today: Barenaked Ladies - Pinch Me My song pick 5 years ago today: Gerry Rafferty - Get it Right Next Time My song pick 6 years ago today: "Weird Al" Yankovic - Headline News My song pick 7 years ago today: Simon & Garfunkel - Richard Cory My song pick 8 years ago today: The Doors - Waiting for the Sun My song pick 9 years ago today: Black 47 - Funk

4239. Queen - My Fairy King

Image

4238. Band of Horses - Part One

Image
From: Everything All the Time ; Year: 2006; Genre: Indie Rock Having one of those days with very little music on my mind, but this one happened to enter my head just as I began to post. This is one of the softer tracks on the album musically, but has some of the heaviness in subject matter that is normal for the band. Hear Part One on YouTube.

4237. Sam Cooke - Wonderful World

Image
From: The Wonderful World of Sam Cooke ; Year: 1960; Genre: Soul/R&B Heard Sam Cooke's Wonderful World yesterday and it's been on my mind since; there's just something I can't put my finger on about the song that I'm drawn to listening to it. In my opinion this track has a lot more to it than appears, there's some good things going on throughout. Hear Wonderful World on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - For The Weekend My song pick 2 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Lights Out My song pick 3 years ago today: Larry Graham & Graham Central Station - Throw-N-Down the Funk My song pick 4 years ago today: Foreigner - At War With the World My song pick 5 years ago today: King Crimson - Pictures of a City (including "42nd at Treadmill") My song pick 6 years ago today: Neil Young - Four Strong Winds My song pick 7 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Jump Start My song pick 8 years ago today: Ch

4235. The Charles Mingus Quintet + Max Roach - Drums

Image
From: The Charles Mingus Quintet + Max Roach ; Year: 1964 (1955); Genre: Freeform/Hard Bop/Jazz/classical It seems me that I haven't been picking any of the more avant-garde examples of jazz for a bit now; figured I would go ahead and do so. In this one you get to hear two masters on the bass and drums really put on a clinic. Wot's interesting is that they keep it very listenable even to the casual listener. Hear Drums on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Neil Young - Sugar Mountain My song pick 2 years ago today: Return to Forever - Duel of the Jester and the Tyrant (Parts 1+2) My song pick 3 years ago today: Ozric Tentacles - Plant Music My song pick 4 years ago today: Luther Vandross - Never Too Much My song pick 5 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Living in the Past My song pick 6 years ago today: Hawkwind - It Is the Business of the Future to Be Dangerous My song pick 7 years ago today: Earth, Wind & Fire - Fantasy My song pick 8 years ago t

4234. Melvins - Don't Forget to Breathe

Image
From: Pinkus Abortion Technician ; Year: 2018; Genre: Alternative Metal/Sludge Metal Checked out the newest Melvins album and immediately fell in love with this song.

My song pick 1 year ago today: Simple Minds - Sanctify Yourself My song pick 2 years ago today: Bob Dylan - If Not For You My song pick 3 years ago today: Garbage - Supervixen My song pick 4 years ago today: Jon Oliva's Pain - Look at the World My song pick 5 years ago today: Foreigner - Blue Morning, Blue Day My song pick 6 years ago today: Voivod - Mechanical Mind My song pick 7 years ago today: Quasar - Fanfare/Seeing Stars My song pick 8 years ago today: Waylander - A Hero's Lament My song pick 9 years ago today: Queen - Seaside Rendezvous My song pick 10 years ago today: Warren Zevon - Werewolves of London My song pick 11 years ago today: Band of Hors

Image
From: When the Wind Blows (soundtrack) ; Year: 1986; Genre: Rock Had another Bowie track on my mind when I sat down to pick my song today, but this one caught my attention and decided to choose it instead.

My song pick 1 year ago today: Rush - Bravado My song pick 2 years ago today: Paul Simon - Slip Slidin' Away My song pick 3 years ago today: Kiss - Strutter My song pick 4 years ago today: The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Purple Haze My song pick 5 years ago today: Earth, Wind & Fire - Fan the Fire My song pick 6 years ago today: Queensrÿche - At The Edge My song pick 7 years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Rock Is My Life, and This Is My Song My song pick 8 years ago today: Genesis - Watcher o

4231. Geddy Lee - Grace to Grace

Image

4230. Fleetwood Mac - Over My Head

Image
From: Fleetwood Mac ; Year: 1975; Genre: Soft Rock Been thinking about the Nicks/Buckingham era of Fleetwood Mac again; this one's from, I do believe, their first album with the band.

4228. Porcupine Tree - Way Out of Here

Image
From: Fear of a Blank Planet ; Year: 2007; Genre: Progressive Rock/Progressive Metal Way Out of Here caught my attention yesterday whilst going through this album. What I really like about this one is the differing light sections and heavier sections musically; it's a very, very intricate song in many ways. Hear Way Out of Here on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Cyndi Lauper - All Through The Night My song pick 2 years ago today: Larry Graham & Graham Central Station - 'Tis Your Kind of Music My song pick 3 years ago today: Pink Floyd - Obscured By Clouds My song pick 4 years ago today: Hammerfall - Ex Inferis My song pick 5 years ago today: Berlin - Like Flames My song pick 6 years ago today: Ozzy Osbourne - I Don't Wanna Stop My song pick 7 years ago today: Primus - Here Come the Bastards My song pick 8 years ago today: Ringo Starr - It Don't Come Easy My song pick 9 years ago today: Molly Hatchet - Fall of the Peacemakers My

4227. Black Sabbath - Turn Up the Night

Image

4226. Jethro Tull - To Cry You a Song

Image
From: Benefit ; Year: 1970; Genre: Hard Rock/Progressive Rock The 'Tull album Benefit was on my mind today. I'm getting close to picking every song off it; it is a much better record than most give it credit for. It's part of that evolutionary period where the band went from being blues based to more progressive rock, so it's got a good blend, especially with this song. Hear To Cry You a Song on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Gentle Giant - All Through the Night My song pick 2 years ago today: Duran Duran - Save a Prayer My song pick 3 years ago today: Men Without Hats - Safety Dance My song pick 4 years ago today: "Weird Al" Yankovic - The Saga Begins My song pick 5 years ago today: The Moody Blues - Ride My See-Saw My song pick 6 years ago today: Hawkwind - Angela Android My song pick 7 years ago today: The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Manic Depression My song pick 8 years ago today: Jon Oliva's Pain - Through the Eyes of
