From: Aja ; Year: 1977; Genre: Jazz Fusion/Rock This is another album in which there are really no weak songs on it; it almost could be viewed as a "greatest hits" album I suppose.

From: Disco Volante ; Year: 1995; Genre: Experimental Rock/Jazz Fusion One thing I've always loved about Mr. Bungle is the fact that it's almost impossible to put their music in a defined genre.

From: Four Wheel Drive ; Year: 1975; Genre: Hard Rock Man, I love the bass and guitars on this track, they really sit on that riff and make it drive the song; C.F. Turner's vocals are and soulful and powerful as ever too. This is one of two BTO albums that influenced me a lot when I was younger, the other being Not Fragile . I like most of their material, but those albums for some reason really spoke to me. And of course C.F. Turner is one of my bigger influences on the bass guitar and a main reason I learned the instrument in the first place. Hear Flat Broke Love on YouTube.

From: The Rise & Fall ; Year: 1982; Genre: New Wave Still got a little bit of the early '80s music bug today and had this song in particular on my brain.

From: The Music of Red Dead Redemption II ; Year: 2019; Genre: Rock/Country Last night I finish my second play-through of the game and many of the songs were on my mind, with this one being my favourite.

From: The Revölution By Night ; Year: 1983; Genre: Rock I'm having Blue Öyster Cult on the brain this morning and thought I'd revisit The Revölution By Night album.
