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

From: Club Ninja ; Year: 1985; Genre: Hard Rock I don't know why, but I've found myself going back and listening to BÖC's Club Ninja album every now and then. Beat 'Em Up is kind of a straight-forward rocker in their '80's style of course. Hear Beat 'Em Up on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: ZZ Top - Cheap Sunglasses My song pick 2 years ago today: Earth, Wind & Fire - Time Is On Your Side My song pick 3 years ago today: Exile - Please Be There My song pick 4 years ago today: Hank Williams - Hey Good Lookin' My song pick 5 years ago today: Queensrÿche - Speak My song pick 6 years ago today: The Beach Boys - God Only Knows My song pick 7 years ago today: Hawkwind - Living on a Knife Edge My song pick 8 years ago today: Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) - Graveyard Train My song pick 9 years ago today: Sethian - Blood Calling My song pick 10 years ago today: Azteca - You Can't Take The Funk Out Of Me My s

From: Making Movies ; Year: 1980; Genre: Rock Been having Dire Straits' music on my mind today; as usual I'm taking it as a sign to choose one of their songs. Romeo & Juliet is a neat little retelling of the story in song; I love the dynamics of going from light to heavier music. Hear Romeo & Juliet on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: James Brown - I Got You (I Feel Good) My song pick 2 years ago today: King Crimson - Dinosaur My song pick 3 years ago today: Molly Hatchet - Both Sides My song pick 4 years ago today: Egg - I Will Be Absorbed My song pick 5 years ago today: Megadeth - Into the Lungs of Hell My song pick 6 years ago today: Soundgarden - Bones of Birds My song pick 7 years ago today: Nightwish - Know Why the Nightingale Sings My song pick 8 years ago today: Stuart Hamm - Black Ice My song pick 9 years ago today: Waylander - Brú Na Bóinne My song pick 10 years ago today: Rammstein - Klavier My song pick 11 years ago

From: Iron Fist ; Year: 1982; Genre: Metal/Punk Felt like hearing some Motörhead this morning and since I haven't picked one of their songs for sometime now I thought I would go ahead and make it today's pick. This one has that same balls-to-the-wall sound that the band is famous for. Hear Iron Fist on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: The Allman Brothers Band - Stand Back My song pick 2 years ago today: Mastodon - High Road My song pick 3 years ago today: A-Ha - Love is Reason My song pick 4 years ago today: Bob Seger - Turn the Page My song pick 5 years ago today: Rage Against the Machine - The Ghost of Tom Joad My song pick 6 years ago today: Dire Straits - Walk of Life My song pick 7 years ago today: The Foggy Mountain Boys (Flatt & Scruggs) - Cripple Creek My song pick 8 years ago today: Queensrÿche - Fear City Slide My song pick 9 years ago today: Dream Theater - Light Fuse and Get Away My song pick 10 years ago today: The Doors -

From: Innuendo ; Year: 1991; Genre: Hard Rock This is such a great album in so many ways; there are no weak songs at all. You can tell the entire band was giving it their all and then some when recording, this song included without a doubt. Hear Don't Try So Hard on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Sky - Hotta My song pick 2 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Farm on the Freeway My song pick 3 years ago today: Quasar - The Loreli My song pick 4 years ago today: Def Leppard - Rock On My song pick 5 years ago today: The Cosmic Sound Orchestra - Fly Some Funk Up to the Moon My song pick 6 years ago today: Laura Branigan - Self Control My song pick 7 years ago today: Yes - Starship Trooper My song pick 8 years ago today: Buffalo Springfield - Mr. Soul My song pick 9 years ago today: Chuck Berry - Johnny B.

From: Reel to Reel Vol. 2 ; Year: 2007; Genre: Hard Rock Discovered the existence of this album the other day and was immediately hooked; it's kind of nice to hear bands pay tribute to those who influenced them. This one's a cover of Bachman-Turner Overdrive's song, which is one of my favourites from the band. Hear Not Fragile on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Jigsaw - Ready to Ride My song pick 2 years ago today: Billy Joel - Big Man on Mulberry Street My song pick 3 years ago today: INXS - Suicide Blonde My song pick 4 years ago today: Pleasure - Bouncy Lady My song pick 5 years ago today: Pearl Jam - Once My song pick 6 years ago today: Rush - Lock and Key My song pick 7 years ago today: Porcupine Tree - Time Flies My song pick 8 years ago today: David Bowie - Life on Mars?

From: Phoenix ; Year: 1979; Genre: Soft Rock Over this busy weekend I had some of Dan Fogelberg's music come on and I thought I'd pick another one. Whilst being the epitome of soft rock I've always kind of liked this one and is one that a lot of early memories are tied to. Hear Longer on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Bee Gees - Run to Me My song pick 2 years ago today: Pallas - Dance Through the Fire My song pick 3 years ago today: King Crimson - Matte Kudasai My song pick 4 years ago today: Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away My song pick 5 years ago today: Steely Dan - Reelin' in the Years My song pick 6 years ago today: Led Zeppelin - All of My Love My song pick 7 years ago today: Shocking Blue - Never Marry a Railroad Man My song pick 8 years ago today: Hawkwind - Mirror of Illusion My song pick 9 years ago today: Louis Armstrong and his Hot Seven - Melancholy Blues My song pick 10 years ago today: Lynyrd Skynyrd - That Smell My son

From: Quartet ; Year: 1982; Genre: New Wave Way past busy weekend gives way to a continuing busy workweek day and not really having a song in mind I went with one that's been playing in my head for the last couple days. Ultravox is always one I like a lot and a great one to choose in such a day anyway. This one is very beautifully written and composed, a testament to the band. Hear Reap the Wild Wind on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: The Fixx - One Thing Leads to Another My song pick 2 years ago today: Kansas - Miracles Out Of Nowhere My song pick 3 years ago today: Wilson Pickett - I'm a Midnight Mover My song pick 4 years ago today: Beat Crusaders - Slip Out My song pick 5 years ago today: Boston - The Launch/Cool the Engines My song pick 6 years ago today: Stratovarius - Dreamspace My song pick 7 years ago today: Queensrÿche - Promised Land My song pick 8 years ago today: Ed Bogas & Merl Saunders - The Riot My song pick 9 years ago t

From: Poems, Prayers & Promises ; Year: 1971; Genre: Folk Had some of his music come on yesterday, which was a very emotionally draining time; it helped me get through a lot. That's something I've always loved about John Denver's music: the emotions in his songs are very open and ubiquitous, not some false front. Hear Sunshine On My Shoulders on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - Madness to the Method My song pick 2 years ago today: Jerry Reed - Rooster Jones My song pick 3 years ago today: The Steve Miller Band - Journey From Eden My song pick 4 years ago today: Kansas - Dust in the Wind My song pick 5 years ago today: King Crimson - Red My song pick 6 years ago today: Sky - March to the Scaffold My song pick 7 years ago today: Rhapsody of Fire - Holy Thunderforce My song pick 8 years ago today: Guided by Voices - Everybody Thinks I’m a Raincloud (When I'm Not Looking) My song pick 9 years ago today: Gorō Yamagu

From: Tales From the Punchbowl ; Year: 1995; Genre: Progressive Rock A super busy day today, so I'm making a quick pick. This is a fun little almost two minute ditty with weird sound effects thrown in; typical Primus. Hear Space Farm on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Geraldine Hunt - Can't Fake the Feeling My song pick 2 years ago today: .38 Special - Rockin' Into the Night My song pick 3 years ago today: The Miracles - You Really Got a Hold on Me My song pick 4 years ago today: Fleetwood Mac - Think About Me My song pick 5 years ago today: Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Jerusalem My song pick 6 years ago today: Marillion - Kayleigh My song pick 7 years ago today: Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV 1062 - Concerto in C-Minor For Two Harpsichords My song pick 8 years ago today: Rammstein - Feuerräder My song pick 9 year ago today: Igor Stravinsky - Rite of Spring - Sacrificial Dance My song pick 10 years ago today: KISS - Detroit Rock City My

From: Amazon (Single) ; Year: 1984; Genre: Funk/Electronica It's kind of interesting hearing Jimmy Castor in the mid-'80s electronic glory; it still has the fun funkiness that he's known for and very much a delight to listen to. Hear Amazon on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: April Wine - Enough is Enough My song pick 2 years ago today: Faith No More - Falling to Pieces My song pick 3 years ago today: The Presidents of the United States of America - Peaches My song pick 4 years ago today: The Rolling Stones - Midnight Rambler My song pick 5 years ago today: The Five Stairsteps - O-o-o Child My song pick 6 years ago today: The Delgados - Mr. Blue Sky My song pick 7 years ago today: Muse - Citizen Erased My song pick 8 years ago today: The Darkness - Is It Just Me My song pick 9 years ago today: Blind Willie Johnson - Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground My song pick 10 years ago today: Devo - Come Back Jonee My song pick 11 years

From: Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player ; Year: 1973; Genre: Rock/Pop I'm kind of surprised that I had not chosen this song yet. It was one of the first tracks from Elton John I ever heard as a child and I remember my dad and mom playing the old 45 rpm record whilst my siblings and I would "dance" to it. For me, listening to it with a much more mature ear what catches me the most is Dee Murray's complex bass line throughout that doesn't seem to take a break and ploughs through. Hear Crocodile Rock on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Mr. Bungle - Quote Unquote (Travolta) My song pick 2 years ago today: Jane's Addiction - Stop! My song pick 3 years ago today: Soundgarden - The Telephantasm My song pick 4 years ago today: Mr. Big - Mr. Never in a Million Years My song pick 5 years ago today: Dayton Sidewinders - Funky in Here My song pick 6 years ago today: Heart - Fanatic My song pick 7 years ago today: Led Zeppelin

From: Heroes Are Hard To Find ; Year: 1974; Genre: Rock I really like Christine McVie's vocals on this, the title track from their often-forgotten Heroes Are Hard To Find album. Hear Heroes Are Hard To Find on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Peter Gabriel - Come Talk to Me My song pick 2 years ago today: Chuck Berry - Maybellene My song pick 3 years ago today: Maddy Prior - Rollercoaster My song pick 4 years ago today: Bootsy's Rubber Band - Stretchin' Out (In a Rubber Band) My song pick 5 years ago today: Led Zeppelin - When the Levee Breaks My song pick 6 years ago today: Hawkwind - Wind of Change My song pick 7 years ago today: Alestorm - Set Sail to Conquer My song pick 8 years ago today: Pee Wee King and his Golden West Cowboys - The Ghost and Honest Joe My song pick 9 years ago today: Jerry Reed - Amos Moses My song pick 10 years ago today: Santana - All The Love In The Universe My song pick 11 years ago today: The Who - My G

From: Next ; Year: 1977; Genre: Rock Been meaning to pick this song from Journey for a little while now; it's among my favourites from the band. It's one of those tracks with a lot going for it, both lyrically and musically. I really like how they play with both hard and soft rock at the same time, but keep it in the groove so to speak. Hear Spaceman on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Van Halen - And the Cradle Will Rock... My song pick 2 years ago today: Django Reinhardt & Stéphane Grappelli (Quintette du Hot Club de France) - Tears My song pick 3 years ago today: Dave Edmunds - Slipping Away My song pick 4 years ago today: Mountain - Mississippi Queen My song pick 5 years ago today: Rod Stewart - You Wear it Well My song pick 6 years ago today: Steeleye Span - The Twelve Witches My song pick 7 years ago today: Georg Philipp Telemann - TWV 55:C3 - Wassermusik - Hamburger Ebbe und Flut My song pick 8 years ago today: Steve Winwood - The Fi

From: Tribal Thunder ; Year: 1993; Genre: Surf Rock For those who do not know, King of the Surf Guitar Dick Dale passed away at the ripe young age of 81, an obituary can be read here . He is best known for the song Miserlou , which appeared on the film Pulp Fiction and has since become famous. He was one of the musicians that hold in high esteem, made it into his 80s and was still playing just about as hard as he was all along throughout his career. The man will be very much missed, but I'll still enjoy the music he left behind. Anyway, this is a very beautiful track that is based around a tango beat with the heavy-hitting surf guitar ploughing right through with the melody. Hear Esperanza on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Kansas - Questions of my Childhood My song pick 2 years ago today: Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe - Quartet My song pick 3 years ago today: Mahavishnu Orchestra - Radio-Activity My song pick 4 years ago today: Toto - Stranger in Town

From: Thin Lizzy (remaster version) ; Year: 1971; Genre: Celtic Rock Happy St. Paddy's Day ! As luck would have it I had Thin Lizzy on my mind this morning and knew I had my pick for today. This is a song originally off of, from what I've read, their first EP titled New Day , but has since been added onto their self-titled debut album. Hear Dublin on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Black 47 - Paddy's Got a Brand New Reel My song pick 2 years ago today: Croft No Five - The Man of Arran My song pick 3 years ago today: Cruachan - The Morrigan's Call My song pick 4 years ago today: Flogging Molly - (No More) Paddy's Lament My song pick 5 years ago today: Black 47 - The Big Fella My song pick 6 years ago today: Frank Mackey & the Keltic Cowboys - Kiss My Irish Ass My song pick 7 years ago today: Dropkick Murphys - Black Velvet Band My song pick 8 years ago today: Black 47 - Green Suede Shoes My song pick 9 years ago today: Savatage

From: Hold Your Fire ; Year: 1987; Genre: Rock I've always loved mid/late '80s Rush, I'm not sure why; it's normally a reviled time period of the band by a sizable group of the fanbase. Anyway, this is another keyboard heavy song that exemplifies the era, but still got a lot of wot makes Rush sound good. Hear Second Nature on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Diana Ross & The Supremes - Someday We'll be Together My song pick 2 years ago today: Megadeth - Dread and the Fugitive Mind My song pick 3 years ago today: Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Back My Bullets My song pick 4 years ago today: The Castaways - Liar, Liar My song pick 5 years ago today: AC/DC - Back in Black My song pick 6 years ago today: Porcupine Tree - Mother & Child Divided My song pick 7 years ago today: The Jimmy Castor Bunch - Space Age My song pick 8 years ago today: Bass Extremes - Mocha Soca My song pick 9 years ago today: Rush - Fly By Night My song pick

From: Motor Booty Affair ; Year: 1978; Genre: Funk Thought I would make another Funk pick on this Friday with this extremely fun bumping and thumping piece of music from the legendary funkmasters in Parliament-Funkadelic. Almost 10 minutes of amazing funk if you listen to the 12" version. Hear Aqua Boogie (A Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadoloop) on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: The Enid - And Then There Were None My song pick 2 years ago today: Ted Nugent - Stranglehold My song pick 3 years ago today: Muse - Revolt My song pick 4 years ago today: Vixen - Edge of a Broken Heart My song pick 5 years ago today: Rush - Mystic Rhythms My song pick 6 years ago today: The Moody Blues - Dr. Livingstone, I Presume My song pick 7 years ago today: Django Reinhardt & Stéphane Grappelli (Quintette du Hot Club de France) - Chasing Shadows My song pick 8 years ago today: The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Take Five My song pick 9 years ago today: Rammstein - Ich Tu

From: Emerson, Lake & Palmer ; Year: 1970/71; Genre: Progressive Rock I was wanting to pick one from EL&P today for some reason. Knife-Edge is kind of a mix between classical and hard rock with the music being arranged by the band that was written by Leoš Janáček called Sinfonietta along with a mid section based on J.S. Bach's French Suite in D-Minor . Hear Knife-Edge on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: UB40 - Rat in mi Kitchen My song pick 2 years ago today: Dust - Learning to Die My song pick 3 years ago today: Emerson, Lake & Palmer - When the Apple Blossoms Bloom in the Windmills of Your Mind, I'll Be Your Valentine My song pick 4 years ago today: Yello - Oh Yeah My song pick 5 years ago today: Wilson Pickett - Take That Pollution Out Your Throat My song pick 6 years ago today: Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody My song pick 7 years ago today: The Doobie Brothers - Listen to the Music My song pick 8 years ago today: Queen - Bijou My s

From: Swing Low ; Year: 1961; Genre: Soul/R&B For some reason this classic from the late-great Sam Cooke got caught in my mind; a good song to get "earwormed" by. It's one of those tracks where you cannot change even one aspect of it or it just is no longer a special song. Hear Chain Gang on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: King Crimson - Lizard My song pick 2 years ago today: Band of Horses - Lying Under Oak My song pick 3 years ago today: Emerson, Lake & Palmer - The Three Fates My song pick 4 years ago today: Dayton Sidewinders - Slippin' Into Darkness My song pick 5 years ago today: Pink Floyd - Keep Talking My song pick 6 years ago today: Bud Tutmarc - Hilo March My song pick 7 years ago today: Soundgarden - No Wrong No Right My song pick 8 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Wond'ring Aloud My song pick 9 years ago today: Joe Walsh (The Eagles) - In The City My song pick 10 years ago today: Pearls Before Swine - (Oh

From: Fulfillingness' First Finale ; Year: 1974; Genre: Soul Too Shy to Say is a beautiful, melodic track that feature master bassist James Jamerson and "Sneaky Pete" Kleinow on the pedal steel guitar. Whilst the arrangement is somewhat sparse the three legends fill it all up quite nicely. Hear Too Shy to Say on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: The Postal Service - Brand New Colony My song pick 2 years ago today: Wolfmother - Joker & the Thief My song pick 3 years ago today: Peter Gabriel - Digging in the Dirt My song pick 4 years ago today: Slaughter - Up All Night My song pick 5 years ago today: The Steve Miller Band - Wide River My song pick 6 years ago today: Stratovarius - Fire Dance My song pick 7 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Aeroplane My song pick 8 years ago today: Styx - Renegade My song pick 9 years ago today: The Jaggerz - The Rapper My song pick 10 years ago today: Sha Na Na - Blue Moon My song pick 11 years ago

From: Perversion ; Year: 1998; Genre: Industrial Rock Was getting nostalgic again, mostly about some video games I used to play back in the day. Gravity Kills' Falling was one played on the game Test Drive 5 . Those are some really good memories racing with this and other songs playing. Hear Falling on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: The Network - Roshambo My song pick 2 years ago today: Glass Tiger - Animal Heart My song pick 3 years ago today: Sly and the Family Stone - Can't Strain My Brain My song pick 4 years ago today: Paris - 1 in 10 My song pick 5 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Look Into the Sun My song pick 6 years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Free Wheelin' My song pick 7 years ago today: Rush - Limbo My song pick 8 years ago today: Stevie Wonder - Superstition My song pick 9 years ago today: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Soul To Squeeze My song pick 10 years ago today: Electric Light Orchestra - Fire On High My so

From: Joyride ; Year: 1991; Genre: Rock/Pop I thought I'd already picked this song or at least one from Roxette already, but I guess I was in error. Joyride has, for me, been a fun one to listen to at times; it brings me back to the simpler times back around when it was released. Hear Joyride on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Jerry Reed - The Devil Went Down to Georgia My song pick 2 years ago today: Johnny Winter - Funky Music My song pick 3 years ago today: Marillion - Sugar Mice My song pick 4 years ago today: Pink Floyd - Money My song pick 5 years ago today: American Breed - Bend Me, Shape Me My song pick 6 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Cat's Squirrel My song pick 7 years ago today: Amon Amarth - A Beast Am I My song pick 8 years ago today: Steve Vai - Little Green Men My song pick 9 years ago today: Fairport Convention - Maddy Groves My song pick 10 years ago today: Billy Joel - Allentown My song pick 11 years ago today: Meg Ro

From: 90215 ; Year: 1983; Genre: Rock/Hard Rock Came into my mind this morning and thought it would be a good pick. It's one of the singles from 90215 that is fairly recognizable, but not quite as ubiquitous as others on the album. Whilst the overall sound is somewhat dated to the time of the recording it's still one that's very enjoyable. Hear Changes on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Santana - Evil Ways My song pick 2 years ago today: Gerry Rafferty - The Tourist My song pick 3 years ago today: Loudness - Let It Go My song pick 4 years ago today: Carmen - She Flew Across the Room My song pick 5 years ago today: California Guitar Trio - Ghost Riders on the Storm My song pick 6 years ago today: Al Di Meola and Steve Vai - Race with the Devil on Turkish Highway My song pick 7 years ago today: Nightwish - Beauty of the Beast My song pick 8 years ago today: L'Arc~en~Ciel - Spirit Dreams Inside My song pick 9 years ago today: Led Zeppel

From: Naveed ; Year: 1994; Genre: Alternative Rock/Hard Rock Hard to believe that it's been just about 25 years since this album and song were released, it doesn't seem that long ago for some reason. Anyway, was thinking about Starseed this morning and thought I'd add it to my blog today. Hear Starseed on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: David Bowie - Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) My song pick 2 years ago today: The Midnight - Gloria My song pick 3 years ago today: Rammstein - Stein um Stein My song pick 4 years ago today: Porcupine Tree - Start of Something Beautiful My song pick 5 years ago today: Parliament - Funkentelechy My song pick 6 years ago today: Aerosmith - Make It My song pick 7 years ago today: The Rolling Stones - Beast of Burden My song pick 8 years ago today: Modest Mouse - Float On My song pick 9 years ago today: Eric Burdon & The Animals - When I Was Young My song pick 10 years ago today: Stevie Nicks - Edg

From: Time's Up ; Year: 1990; Genre: Alternative Metal/Hard Rock Had Living Colour on my mind for some reason this morning. This amazing, heavy, guitar driven track just fit my mood perfectly. Hear Type on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Dream Theater - A New Beginning My song pick 2 years ago today: Queensrÿche - Empire My song pick 3 years ago today: Pendragon - Fly High, Fall Far My song pick 4 years ago today: Luther Davis Group - Keep On Dancing My song pick 5 years ago today: Tarot - Wings of Darkness My song pick 6 years ago today: John Denver - Shanghai Breezes My song pick 7 years ago today: Aphrodite's Child - The Beast My song pick 8 years ago today: Duran Duran - Lonely In Your Nightmare My song pick 9 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Dogs in the Midwinter My song pick 10 years ago today: John Denver - Season Suite: Late Winter, Early Spring (When Everybody Goes To Mexico) My song pick 11 years ago today: César Antonovich Cui - O

From: The Wedge ; Year: 1986; Genre: Progressive Rock This song from Pallas' second album has more 80's sound, feel and zeitgeists than many of their others from the same period, which makes it rather unique. Hear Throwing Stones at the Wind on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Wolfmother - Mind's Eye My song pick 2 years ago today: Pendragon - If I Were The Wind (and you were the rain) My song pick 3 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Flying Dutchman My song pick 4 years ago today: Stone Temple Pilots - Vasoline My song pick 5 years ago today: Bruce Hornsby and the Range - Mandolin Rain My song pick 6 years ago today: George Strait - Ocean Front Property My song pick 7 years ago today: April Wine - Future Tense My song pick 8 years ago today: The Darkness - Hazel Eyes My song pick 9 years ago today: The O'Jays - Back Stabbers My song pick 10 years ago today: Tarja Turunen - Enough My song pick 11 years ago today: Modest Petrovitch Mu

From: The Temptations Wish It Would Rain ; Year: 1968; Genre: Motown/Soul This is one of those songs that I can play over and over again; it just so beautiful. The Funk Brothers and The Temptations have, in my opinion, one of the best songs in the Motown catalogue in this amazing tune. Ruffin really brings the emotion through with his powerful lead vocal. Hear I Wish It Would Rain on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: The Eagles - Desperado My song pick 2 years ago today: Megadeth - Poisonous Shadows My song pick 3 years ago today: Miles Davis - Aïda My song pick 4 years ago today: James Blunt - So Long, Jimmy My song pick 5 years ago today: Alestorm - Death Throes of the Terrorsquid My song pick 6 years ago today: Of Monsters and Men - Mountain Sound My song pick 7 years ago today: Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast My song pick 8 years ago today: Larry Graham & Graham Central Station - The Jam My song pick 9 years ago today: Django Reinhard

From: More Today Than Yesterday ; Year: 1969; Genre: Rock/Pop I absolutely love the music to this one; I actually used to think it was connected somehow to Motown, but it's not. That bass and the horns really make the song wot it is, the schmaltzy lyrics/vocals are just the "cherry on top" so to speak. Hear More Today Than Yesterday on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Big Brother & the Holding Company - Oh, Sweet Mary My song pick 2 years ago today: Ebony Rhythm Band - Soul Heart Transplant My song pick 3 years ago today: Pallas - Cut and Run My song pick 4 years ago today: Sky - Dies Irae My song pick 5 years ago today: Buddy Holly - Crying, Waiting, Hoping My song pick 6 years ago today: Waylander - Erdath My song pick 7 years ago today: Jim Croce - Workin' at the Car Wash Blues My song pick 8 years ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - Flaming Telepaths My song pick 9 years ago today: AC/DC - Carry Me Home My song pick 10 years ago

From: Big Towne, 2061 ; Year: 1976; Genre: Hard Rock Kind of just picking a random song today; nothing really on my mind at the moment. This straight-up rocker from Bob Welch's Paris felt pretty good to pick. Hear Heart of Stone on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Mudhoney - Empty Shells My song pick 2 years ago today: Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama My song pick 3 years ago today: Alice in Chains - Sea of Sorrow My song pick 4 years ago today: Big Brother and the Holding Company (Janis Joplin) - Summertime My song pick 5 years ago today: Genesis - Seven Stones My song pick 6 years ago today: Stuart Hamm - Call of the Wild My song pick 7 years ago today: Wilson Pickett - Funk Factory My song pick 8 years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Life Still Goes On (I'm Lonely) My song pick 9 years ago today: Nirvana - In Bloom My song pick 10 years ago today: Static X - I'm With Stupid My song pick 11 years ago today: Ian Anders
