4345. Blue Öyster Cult - Then Came the Last Days of May

Image
From: Blue Öyster Cult ; Year: 1972; Genre: Blues Rock/Hard Rock As I've said prior, I try not to pick the same band twice or close to another, but when I noticed that today was the final day of the month of May this song just wouldn't quit playing in my mind. The lead guitar is just amazing throughout this one, and I like hearing the story told in the lyrics, which is quite a sad happening. Hear Then Came the Last Days of May on YouTube.

4344. Blue Öyster Cult - Still Burnin'

Image
From: Heaven Forbid ; Year: 1998; Genre: Hard Rock From wot I understand and read Still Burnin' is somewhat of a continuation of their quite popular song Burnin' For You .

4342. Pearl Jam - Oceans

Image
From: Ten ; Year: 1991; Genre: Alternative Rock/Grunge While driving home yesterday I had some of their music from this album come on, and it got me bingeing on Pearl Jam yet again.

From: From the Mars Hotel ; Year: 1974; Genre: Psychedelic Rock/Jazz Fusion Well, another Memorial Day is here, so you know wot that means: a Grateful Dead pick!

4339. Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

Image
From: The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway ; Year: 1974; Genre: Progressive Rock I had the album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway on my mind today.

4338. Jethro Tull - Commons Brawl

Image
From: Nightcap ; Year: 1993 (1981); Genre: Progressive Rock I've always loved this song, which was an unreleased track from The Broadsword and the Beast recording session, that heavy driving keyboard bass along with the distorted electric guitar playing a call and response to the mandolins is just perfect. Match that with the political subject matter and it's a pretty good song, too bad it didn't make the cut to be on the album, but at least it was released later. Hear Commons Brawl on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Maddy Prior - Catseyes My song pick 2 years ago today: Megadeth - Conquer or Die!

4337. C.W. McCall - Four Wheel Drive

Image
From: Wolf Creek Pass ; Year: 1975; Genre: Country Man, this song brings back some memories... when I was really young I loved C.W. McCall's music a lot. Singing about driving trucks and cars and other related subjects; I guess you could call it "working man's country and western." When I was little I loved that subject matter a lot. Anyway, this is one of his better-known ones about running from the police off road in a hot rod CJ-5 Jeep. Whilst there's music behind the entire track, C.W. McCall does his normal talk-singing, kind of a "country/rap" thing I guess you could call it. Four Wheel Drive is mostly remembered for the line: "CJ-5 Four Wheel Drive, Smokey on my Tail." Hear Four Wheel Drive on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Black Sabbath - Neon Knights My song pick 2 years ago today: Savatage - Chance My song pick 3 years ago today: Megadeth - A Secret Place My song pick 4 years ago today: Wings - Live and Let...

4336. The Police - Synchronicity I

4334. Cheap Trick - I Want You To Want Me

Image
From: at Budokan ; Year: 1978; Genre: Rock While I Want You To Want Me was released on their studio album In Color , it's the at Budokan version that is definitive, so it's the record I'm sourcing it from.

4333. The Guess Who - Three More Days

Image
From: Share the Land ; Year: 1970; Genre: Blues Rock/Progressive Rock Ever since yesterday, when I had the title track off of this album come on my playlist, I've had The Guess Who on my mind.

4332. Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Standing in the Rain

4331. Funkadelic - Uncle Jam

Image
From: Uncle Jam Wants You ; Year: 1979; Genre: Funk/Soul As with all of George Clinton's music this is a fun one to groove and listen to, but especially this one.

4330. Argent - Pure Love

Image
From: All Together Now ; Year: 1972; Genre: Progressive Rock/Hard Rock/classical This song has the longest play time on the album, the first 5 minutes is a complex organ piece performed by Rod Argent in the Prelude and Fantasia sections, then the rest of the band kicks into a hard rock sound in the 3rd and 4th movements. After hearing this one there are no doubts at the virtuosity of Rod Argent. Hear Pure Love on YouTube.

4327. Bob Welch - Outskirts

4325. Bruce Hornsby and the Range - Across the River

Image
From: A Night On The Town ; Year: 1990; Genre: Rock A lot of music bouncing around in my head today, so picking a song was not as easy.

4324. Zapp - Funky Bounce

Image
From: Zapp ; Year: 1980; Genre: Funk Friday is upon us again, might as well make it a funky one .

4322. King Crimson - Epitaph

Image
From: In the Court of the Crimson King ; Year: 1969; Genre: Progressive Rock I finally got to a song I was wanting to pick. Epitaph is one of my absolute favourites from King Crimson; it's such a beautiful song in many ways with so many emotions within.

4319. Ray Stevens - The Streak

Image
From: Boogity Boogity ; Year: 1974; Genre: Comedy Had this one on my mind; this classic is quite a funny song about a man who runs without clothing, terrorizing a couple with his antics.

4315. The Rolling Stones - Saint of Me

Image
From: Bridges to Babylon ; Year: 1997; Genre: Rock/Blues Rock Yet another one just popped into my head this morning that I had not heard in a while; well at least I'm not having to wrack my brain for a song. Anyway, this song was one I heard a lot on the radio back in the late '90s, yeah, back when the radio was something you actually listened to. For some reason this track didn't have a lot of staying power, but still works pretty well. Hear Saint of Me on YouTube.
