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

From: Nightcap ; Year: 1993 (1989); Genre: Hard Rock/Progressive Rock This is among my favourites from the Nightcap album; I really like the sound of late '80s 'Tull and this one's definitely a gem to be heard from that era.

From: Storm Front ; Year: 1989; Genre: Rock Here's another one I cannot believe I have not chosen yet; it's among my favourites from Billy Joel. I can still remember clearly when this one came out; doesn't seem that long ago but I guess it is. Almost as much time has passed since it was released than was covered in the song itself.

From: Marcus Miller ; Year: 1984; Genre: Jazz Fusion This one has a sound that makes it sound very much of the era it was released, mostly because of all of the heavy electronic sounds.

From: Aurora Borealis ; Year: 1972; Genre: Rock This one seems like a good fit for today, no other reason for picking it.

From: The Temptations with a Lot o' Soul ; Year: 1967; Genre: Motown/Soul The Temptations have been on my mind a lot of the day thus far; thought I'd go ahead and pick another one of their songs.

From: Aurora ; Year: 1986; Genre: Progressive Rock I recently found out about this EP from Asia and got to hear this song for the first time; I immediately liked it. Ride Easy was apparently a rarer "B-side" that only got another release on the Aurora EP. It's a really good song and should've gotten a proper album release in my opinion.

From: Est'd 1969 ; Year: 2019; Genre: Folk Rock I've had Maddy Prior's vocals on my mind most of the day thus far; I thought I'd pick one from Steeleye Span's most recent album.

From: Alice in Chains ; Year: 1995; Genre: Alternative Metal/Grunge Had some classic Layne Staley era Alice in Chains on my mind today; this one was foremost in my mind.

From: Peter Gabriel 1 (Car) ; Year: 1977; Genre: Progressive Rock It's another day where I heard a song by a certain artist and thought I would pick another one. This time it's Peter Gabriel, and I was kind of surprised I had not chosen this song yet.

From: Wolfmother ; Year: 2005; Genre: Hard Rock/Metal Thought I'd already picked this great song from Wolfmother, but I guess not.

From: Harmony ; Year: 1971; Genre: Rock Been listening to quite a bit of Three Dog Night since last night and thought I'd go ahead and pick one.

From: Led Zeppelin IV ; Year: 1971; Genre: Rock/Hard Rock I'm in a Led Zeppelin mood today; thought it was about time I pick this song, being that it's probably the band's most popular piece.
