4375. Traffic - Glad

Image
From: John Barleycorn Must Die ; Year: 1970; Genre: Progressive Rock This is a pretty cool instrumental piece from the pen of Steve Winwood with the band Traffic. It's one you might or might not remember, it does not get a lot of play on classic rock radio, but it's still a great song all in all in my opinion. Hear Glad on YouTube.

4373. Sly and the Family Stone - Sex Machine

Image
From: Stand! ; Year: 1969; Genre: Funk/Soul/Blues I've encountered another Funky Friday or so it seems; need to make a funky pick.

4371. Carmen - Conclusion (She Changed)

Image

4370. Asia - Midnight Sun

Image
From: Alpha ; Year: 1983; Genre: Progressive Rock Asia is one of those bands that energizes me when I'm a bit down.

4369. Rainbow - Stargazer

Image
From: Rising ; Year: 1976; Genre: Power Metal I need something sung by Ronnie James Dio this morning; this epic track from Rainbow fit the bill quite well.

4368. Lacy J. Dalton - 16th Avenue

Image
From: 16th Avenue ; Year: 1982; Genre: Country This one was running through my mind this morning; I have some early memories of this song, one of those tracks that hides in the back of your head until something triggers it to the forefront. Anyway, 16th Avenue is a piece about the recording industry in Nashville and people seeking their fame and fortune and most coming up short of their dreams. I love the music and the vocals throughout this one; you can hear a lot of blues influence. Hear 16th Avenue on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Rush - Something for Nothing My song pick 2 years ago today: Gary Davis - Gotta Get Your Love My song pick 3 years ago today: Hall & Oats - Maneater My song pick 4 years ago today: Gerry Rafferty - Mattie's Rag My song pick 5 years ago today: Triumph - Battle Cry My song pick 6 years ago today: Porcupine Tree - On the Sunday Of Life My song pick 7 years ago today: Asia - Sole Survivor My song pick 8 years ago t...

4367. Seals & Crofts - Diamond Girl

Image
From: Diamond Girl ; Year: 1973; Genre: Soft Rock Been looking a bit at bands that I've only picked once or twice before, Seals & Crofts was one such band that fits that bill. The only song I chose from them thus far was about 10 years ago, so it's time for another. Anyway, I love the jazzy feeling of this song combined with their soft rock stylings they are known for. Hear Diamond Girl on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Rick James - Call Me Up My song pick 2 years ago today: Chris Squire - Hold Out Your Hand My song pick 3 years ago today: Al Green - Back Up Train My song pick 4 years ago today: Karla DeVito - Bloody Bess My song pick 5 years ago today: Dream Theater - Breaking All Illusions My song pick 6 years ago today: Tom Petty - You Don't Know It Feels My song pick 7 years ago today: Booker T. & the MGs - Melting Pot My song pick 8 years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Don't Get Yourself In Trouble My song ...

4366. The Beach Boys - Your Summer Dream

Image
From: Surfer Girl ; Year: 1963; Genre: Pop/Rock Well, today marks the first day of summer: the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere.

4365. ABBA - Andante, Andante

Image
From: Super Trouper ; Year: 1980; Genre: Rock/Pop As I've said prior about ABBA, their last pair of albums have always been my favourite; Super Trouper being one of them. I happened upon this song from the album recently and it's been going through my mind. The best part of the song for me are the instrumental sections; whilst being written around a simple melody, the keys and guitar are so beautifully done. Hear Andante, Andante on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: The Who - Join Together My song pick 2 years ago today: The Steve Miller Band - Abracadabra My song pick 3 years ago today: Blood, Sweat & Tears - And When I Die My song pick 4 years ago today: Styx - Mademoiselle My song pick 5 years ago today: David Shire - Night on Disco Mountain My song pick 6 years ago today: King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man My song pick 7 years ago today: Rush - BU2B My song pick 8 years ago today: Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band - Born to ...

4363. Rammstein - Ausländer

Image
From: Untitled ; Year: 2019; Genre: Neue Deutsche Härte It's been 10 years since their last studio album was released and eight years since the last new song was released, but now we finally got some new material and so far I'm liking it. I really like their direction musically; a lot more layers of their normal big sound plus the music is a bit more complex. Watch the music video to Ausländer on YouTube. (NSFW) My song pick 1 year ago today: Cat Stevens - Wild World My song pick 2 years ago today: Steely Dan - The Fez My song pick 3 years ago today: The Nice - Diary of an Empty Day My song pick 4 years ago today: Foreigner - Spell Binder My song pick 5 years ago today: Al Di Meola - Spanish Eyes My song pick 6 years ago today: Of Monsters and Men - Dirty Paws My song pick 7 years ago today: Three Dog Night - It's For You My song pick 8 years ago today: Warrant - Uncle Tom's Cabin My song pick 9 years ago today: Bon Jovi - Keep The Faith M...

4362. Neil Young - Heart of Gold

Image
From: Harvest ; Year: 1972; Genre: Rock/Folk Rock In the mood for some Neil Young this morning; start to another busy week in the hot summer weather. This is one of his more famous songs, kind of a laid-back super ballad of sorts; I really like the way they add so much musicality while keeping it sparse, especially that steel guitar. Hear Heart of Gold on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: April Wine - 21st Century Schizoid Man My song pick 2 years ago today: Mr. Big - The Monster in Me My song pick 3 years ago today: Jaco Pastorius - Liberty City My song pick 4 years ago today: Primus - The Air is Getting Slippery My song pick 5 years ago today: Soundgarden - Halfway There My song pick 6 years ago today: Jim Croce - Operator (That's Not the Way It Feels) My song pick 7 years ago today: Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Last Train to London My song pick 8 years ago today: Jaco Pastorius - Kuru/Speak Like a Child My song pick 9 years ago today: The ...

4361. Steppenwolf - Rock Me

Image
From: "At Your Birthday Party" ; Year: 1969; Genre: Hard Rock I had some other songs in mind today, but then I happened to notice that I've only chosen one song from Steppenwolf thus far, so I'm adding another. This track has their hard-edged rock sound and feel with a smidgen of mainstream in there for good measure. Hear Rock Me on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: ABBA - One of Us My song pick 2 years ago today: Rick James - Below the Funk (Pass the J) My song pick 3 years ago today: Black Sabbath - Symptom of the Universe My song pick 4 years ago today: Pallas - Just a Memory My song pick 5 years ago today: Steeleye Span - Orfeo/Nathan's Reel My song pick 6 years ago today: Alestorm - Flower of Scotland My song pick 7 years ago today: Cybotron - Colossus My song pick 8 years ago today: AC/DC - Let There Be Rock My song pick 9 years ago today: Steeleye Span - Black Jack Davy My song pick 10 years ago today: Heart - These Dre...

4360. Three Dog Night - It's a Jungle Out There

Image
From: It's a Jungle ; Year: 1983; Genre: Rock/Reggae I've been meaning to pick another one from Three Dog Night for a while now and am finally getting around to it. This song is quite different from the sound you'd expect from the band: a lot of synthesizer paired with a reggae beat and feel. This has to be at least the third version of It's a Jungle Out There I've heard. Watch a music video clip on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Larry Graham & Graham Central Station - Last Train My song pick 2 years ago today: Boston - Don't Be Afraid My song pick 3 years ago today: The Moody Blues - Blue World My song pick 4 years ago today: Queen - Gimme the Prize (Kurgan's Theme) My song pick 5 years ago today: Pink Floyd - Empty Spaces/Young Lust My song pick 6 years ago today: Quasar - As You Fall Asleep My song pick 7 years ago today: The Jimmy Castor Bunch - Troglodyte (Cave Man) My song pick 8 years ago today: Stahlhammer - Eisb...

Image
From: Breakin' Out ; Year: 1982; Genre: Funk/Soul Dang... these Friday's seem like they're coming quicker than ever, which is a great thing I suppose; the end of the workweek.

4358. Hall & Oates - Out of Touch

Image
From: Big Bam Boom ; Year: 1984; Genre: Pop/Rock/New Wave Haven't really delved too far into the Hall & Oates' catalogue on this blog, (actually I've only picked one other song sadly), so I figured I'd pick another today. I've heard this one a lot over the years, whilst not my favourite from them it's one I like. Hear Out of Touch on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Fleetwood Mac - Station Man My song pick 2 years ago today: Fleetwood Mac - Emerald Eyes My song pick 3 years ago today: The Thermals - I Know the Pattern My song pick 4 years ago today: Grace Slick - El Diablo My song pick 5 years ago today: Marcus Miller - Juice My song pick 6 years ago today: Midnight Oil - Beds Are Burning My song pick 7 years ago today: Ludwig van Beethoven - Op. 67 - Symphony No.5 in C My song pick 8 years ago today: Al Di Meola - Bianca's Midnight Lullaby My song pick 9 years ago today: Ray Stevens - Mr. Businessman My song pick 10...

4355. Megadeth - Peace Sells

Image
From: Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? ; Year: 1986; Genre: Thrash Metal Classic Megadeth... pure musical ecstasy and then some.

4353. Banchee - 3/4 Song

Image
From: Thinkin' ; Year: 1971; Genre: Hard Rock/Progressive Rock It's been a while since I last picked one from the band Banchee, which is way too long in my opinion; I really like the band. As the title suggests this song plays around with the time signature, the 3/4 (waltz) in particular. I love both the heaviness and the musicality of this track in particular. Hear 3/4 Song on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Parliament - Gettin' to Know You My song pick 2 years ago today: Silver - Wham Bam My song pick 3 years ago today: Genesis - Supper's Ready My song pick 4 years ago today: Ian Anderson - Puer Ferox Adventus My song pick 5 years ago today: Jon Oliva's Pain - Afterglow My song pick 6 years ago today: B.J.

4352. Parliament - Trombipulation

Image
From: Trombipulation ; Year: 1980; Genre: Funk A Funky Friday again, and happened to have George Clinton on my mind; especially Parliament.

4350. The Guess Who - Key

Image
From: Canned Wheat ; Year: 1969; Genre: Psychedelic Rock Kind of a different song by The Guess Who, at least different from the music they are known for. It's also their longest song as far as I know, coming in at just under 12 minutes. There's a lot of great music to be heard throughout this one complete with an epic drum solo and piano piece to close it out. Hear Key on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Tears for Fears - Broken My song pick 2 years ago today: The Hollywood Argyles - Alley Oop My song pick 3 years ago today: Sweeney Todd - Roxy Roller My song pick 4 years ago today: Kool & the Gang - Spirit of the Boogie My song pick 5 years ago today: Jethro Tull - A Song for Jeffrey My song pick 6 years ago today: Foreigner - Head Games My song pick 7 years ago today: Pearl Jam - Alive My song pick 8 years ago today: White Zombie - Thunder Kiss '65 My song pick 9 years ago today: Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer My song pick 10 years ...

4348. Rush - War Paint

Image
From: Presto ; Year: 1989; Genre: Progressive Rock Another busy, busy day, so I'm making somewhat of a quick pick. Had some Rush on my mind when I sat down to make this post and I've been listening to a lot of late '80s Rush lately, so... here's a deeper cut from one of their less popular albums I guess. :P Hear War Paint on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Crispian St. Peters - The Pied Piper My song pick 2 years ago today: Dream Theater - When Your Time Has Come My song pick 3 years ago today: Zapp - A Touch of Jazz (Playing Kind of Ruff, Part 2) My song pick 4 years ago today: Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Livin' Thing My song pick 5 years ago today: Pink Floyd - When the Tigers Broke Free My song pick 6 years ago today: The Black Crowes - She Talks to Angels My song pick 7 years ago today: Rush - Headlong Flight My song pick 8 years ago today: Frank Zappa - I'm the Slime My song pick 9 years ago today: Joachim Witt - Un...

4347. Molly Hatchet - Satisfied Man

Image
From: The Deed is Done ; Year: 1984; Genre: Hard Rock This song really is not the sound you think of when you envision the sound of Molly Hatchet, however, it still has some of their flavour and is pretty good in its own right. It has more of that early '80s Arena Rock sound I guess you could call it. It's been one I've liked a bit since I first put the vinyl record on. Hear Satisfied Man on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Johnny Cash - Four Strong Winds My song pick 2 years ago today: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Suck My Kiss My song pick 3 years ago today: Rush - In the Mood My song pick 4 years ago today: Ugly Kid Joe - No One Survives My song pick 5 years ago today: Carmen - Siren of the Sea My song pick 6 years ago today: Duran Duran - Hungry Like the Wolf My song pick 7 years ago today: Argent - Music from the Spheres My song pick 8 years ago today: Heart - Who Will You Run To My song pick 9 years ago today: Benny Carter - All That J...
