Image
From: Homo Erraticus ; Year: 2014; Genre: Progressive Rock Had this song on my mind this morning. This one closes out the concept album and the story of the wandering human told throughout the album.

Image
From: Diamond Girl ; Year: 1973; Genre: Soft Rock I had not heard this song for nearly 30 years now, or so it would seem, and I happened upon it and I got a flood of memories come to the surface.

4580. Simon & Garfunkel - El Cóndor Pasa (If I Could)

Image
From: Bridge Over Troubled Water ; Year: 1970; Genre: Folk Rock I again had Simon & Garfunkel on the brain today; I thought I'd pick another one of their songs. I have not heard this one in quite a while, but it's one that is kind of hard to forget totally. It probably has to do with both the tune and the lyrics, but there's also other factors I'm sure.

Image
From: Light As A Feather ; Year: 1973; Genre: Jazz Fusion Here's a great piece of music; essentially is Chick Corea's rendition of the Adagio section of Joaquin Rodrigo's masterpiece Concierto de Aranjuez .

4578. Steven Wilson - Perfect Life

Image
From: Hand. Cannot. Erase. ; Year: 2015; Genre: Progressive Rock Been hearing a lot of Steve Wilson's music lately on my playlist, so I'm picking another one of his songs today.

Image
From: Strays ; Year: 2003; Genre: Alternative Rock I was thinking of another band today, but instead for some reason chose to revisit Jane's Addiction again.

Image

4572. Rush - Superconductor

Image
From: Presto ; Year: 1989; Genre: Hard Rock/Progressive Rock Strangely enough I was planning on picking a late 80's Rush track yesterday prior to finding out about Neil Peart's passing, so I'm going ahead with that pick today.

4571. Rush (Neil Peart) - Der Trommler (Drum Solo)

Image
From: R30: 30th Anniversary World Tour ; Year: 2005; Genre: Hard Rock/Progressive Rock Dang, still kind of in a state of shock over hearing about Neil Peart passing away; and at such a young age too. Apparently an almost 4 year long battle with brain cancer took him back on Tuesday. Not only was he an amazing and one of the greatest drummers of all time, but was an incredible lyricist for Rush, penning the majority of the band's lyrics. He most certainly will be missed; rest in peace. After a lot of thought on the song I should pick or revisit today I just decided on choosing one of his epic drum solos; this one's from the 30th anniversary tour and translated from German to English Der Trommler means, (you probably guessed it),: The Drummer . Hear Der Trommler on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Billy Joe Royal - Cherry Hill Park My song pick 2 years ago today: Q Lazzarus - Goodbye Horses My song pick 3 years ago today: Al Di Meola - Black Cat Shuffle

4569. Mr. Big - Fragile

Image
From: ... The Stories We Could Tell ; Year: 2014; Genre: Hard Rock This is an interesting song in that they added some musical pop elements to it that actually add to the big and over-the-top sound that one expects from the band. Hear Fragile on YouTube.

4568. Stone Temple Pilots - Wicked Garden

Image
From: Core ; Year: 1992; Genre: Alternative Rock/Grunge I had no song in mind ready to pick, so I just kind of "spun the wheel" so to speak and ended up going with one from Stone Temple Pilots.

4567. Midnight Oil - Dust

Image
From: Midnight Oil ; Year: 1978; Genre: Rock Here's some early music from the 'Oils. While, in my opinion, it's not their best work, it's quite fun to hear their older stuff once in a while.

Image
From: The Power to Believe ; Year: 2003; Genre: Progressive Metal I absolutely love the big, guitar driven sound of this piece.
