From: Faster Than The Speed Of Night ; Year: 1983; Genre: Rock I remember hearing this one and the entire album for that matter quite a bit growing up.

From: Nice ; Year: 1969; Genre: Progressive Rock "Spun" again today so to speak and randomly chose this song, which is a cover originally written by Tim Hardin .

From: Harder..... Faster ; Year: 1979; Genre: Rock After a little bit of thought I decided on this song from April Wine for today's song choice. I like how this track toys with both harder and softer directions at times, but stays in a groove somewhere in the middle.    Hear Say Hello on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Funkadelic - Free Your Mind... and Your Ass Will Follow   My song pick 2 years ago today: Melvins - Heavyness of the Load My song pick 3 years ago today: A-ha - Manhattan Skyline My song pick 4 years ago today: Uriah Heep - Bird of Prey My song pick 5 years ago today: The Who - The Quiet One My song pick 6 years ago today: UPC All Stars - Don't Get Discouraged My song pick 7 years ago today: Stahlhammer - Messerschmied My song pick 8 years ago today: Chet Atkins and Merle Travis - I'll See You In My Dreams My song pick 9 years ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - O.D.'d on Life Itself My song pick 10 years ago today: Hawkwind - W

From: Funk Factory ; Year: 1975; Genre: Jazz Fusion/Funk/Soul Discovered this band and song not that long ago and knew I needed to choose it.

From: Exile on Main St. ; Year: 1972; Genre: Rock Felt like listening to some more music from the 'Stones today; it's still hard to believe that Charlie Watts passed away, the guys in the group seemed like they are immortal and/or would live a great, very long life. I suppose they have, their music will live on forever and so will they. Anyway, I've always liked this song, especially that one-of-a-kind guitar sound throughout; excellent music you'd expect from the band.   Hear Tumbling Dice on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Blondie - The Hardest Part   My song pick 2 years ago today: Finntroll - Midvinterdraken My song pick 3 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Night in the Wilderness My song pick 4 years ago today: Rodrigo - Concierto de Aranjuez My song pick 5 years ago today: Larry Graham & Graham Central Station - Entrow My song pick 6 years ago today: Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance My song pick 7 years ago today: Genesis - Duche

From: Emotional Rescue ; Year: 1980; Genre: Rock As with most everyone else I learned that Rolling Stones' drummer Charlie Watts passed away; RIP to the great musician. His contribution not just to the band, but to music of the last 60 years is immense; he certainly will be missed. Anyway, I had this song on my mind for some reason and I thought it'd be a good pick for the occasion.    Hear Emotional Rescue on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Rage Against the Machine - Beautiful World   My song pick 2 years ago today: ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man My song pick 3 years ago today: Midnight Oil - Put Down That Weapon My song pick 4 years ago today: Dayton Sidewinders - Funky Chicken Stew My song pick 5 years ago today: The Kinks - Tired of Waiting for You My song pick 6 years ago today: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dani California My song pick 7 years ago today: Porcupine Tree - Don't Hate Me My song pick 8 years ago today: Jacques Offenbach - La belle Hélèn

From: Long Misty Days ; Year: 1976; Genre: Blues Rock/Hard Rock I'll admit it, I was first drawn to this album by the really neat cover artwork, but ended up loving the music too.

From: Night Hawk ; Year: 1961; Genre: Jazz/Blues Here's another bluesy piece of jazz for today's pick; there's great playing all around as usual, but those saxophones, wow, they are on a high level. Both Coleman Hawkins and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis really show off their chops in this great piece.    Hear Night Hawk on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Jigsaw - My Summer Song   My song pick 2 years ago today: Bootsy's Rubber Band - Rubber Duckie My song pick 3 years ago today: Lee Dorsey - Ya Ya My song pick 4 years ago today: Curved Air - Back Street Luv My song pick 5 years ago today: Fairport Convention - Fotheringay My song pick 6 years ago today: Steeleye Span - Van Diemen's Land My song pick 7 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Kelpie My song pick 8 years ago today: Wild Turkey - Battle Hymn My song pick 9 years ago today: Johann Strauss I - Op. 154 - Lorelei Rhein Klänge My song pick 10 years ago today: Puhdys - Hier Oben M

From: Study in Brown ; Year: 1955; Genre: Hard Bop Jazz This is one of Clifford Brown's main big compositions that he authored and is a great piece of music all around and then some. It still amazes me his skill as a musician, writer and band leader; I could only imagine where jazz music would be if he had not died in that car accident at such a young age.   Hear Sandu on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Rush - Between Sun & Moon   My song pick 2 years ago today: Styx - Superstars My song pick 3 years ago today: Kajagoogoo - Too Shy My song pick 4 years ago today: Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Summer and Lightning My song pick 5 years ago today: Cheap Trick - Surrender My song pick 6 years ago today: The Kinks - Autumn Almanac My song pick 7 years ago today: Stevie Wonder - Skeletons My song pick 8 years ago today: The Grass Roots - Sooner or Later My song pick 9 years ago today: Felix Mendelssohn - Op. 56 - Symphony No. 3 (Scottish) My song pic

From: This Was ; Year: 1968; Genre: Blues Rock/Jazz Rock This is probably my favourite song off of Jethro Tull's debut album; it is a cover of a song from Rahssan Roland Kirk. It's more of a bluesy jazz version than the original and mostly features Ian Anderson's flute playing, but Mick Abrahams also has a solo section on electric guitar.   Hear Serenade to a Cuckoo on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Psychedelic Pill   My song pick 2 years ago today: The Beatles - Act Naturally My song pick 3 years ago today: Asia - Cutting it Fine My song pick 4 years ago today: Steve Vai - An Earth Dweller's Return/Here & Now My song pick 5 years ago today: KC and the Sunshine Band - (Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty My song pick 6 years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Tramp My song pick 7 years ago today: Van der Graaf Generator - Darkness 11/11 My song pick 8 years ago today: The Police - Walking on the

From: Further Definitions ; Year: 1962; Genre: Bebop Jazz I'm still in the mood for some jazz; this is a Duke Ellington piece done incredibly well by the great Benny Carter and company, which includes the amazing Coleman Hawkins.   Hear Cotton Tail on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Mr. Big - Defying Gravity   My song pick 2 years ago today: Rush - Double Agent My song pick 3 years ago today: Jimmy Gilmer & The Fireballs - Sugar Shack My song pick 4 years ago today: Ohio Players - Pleasure My song pick 5 years ago today: Chet Atkins and Merle Travis - Dance of the Golden Rod My song pick 6 years ago today: Gary Numan - Cars My song pick 7 years ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - 7 Screaming Diz-Busters My song pick 8 years ago today: John Denver - Wooden Indian My song pick 9 years ago today: Barenaked Ladies - One Week My song pick 10 years ago today: Paul Abraham Dukas - The Sorcerer's Apprentice My song pick 11 years ago today: Jigsaw - Jes

From: Bird and Diz ; Year: 1952; Genre: Bebop Jazz I'm still in a '50s jazz mood today. It's amazing that so many musicians with huge names played together back then. When you read the list of musicians playing with the greats Charlie "Bird" Parker and "Dizzy" Gillespie it's like the who's who of jazz across the board. Anyway, this is one from the pen of Charlie Parker and a very fun one to listen to and and just enjoy in amazement.   Hear Relaxin' With Lee on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Ugly Kid Joe - I'm Alright   My song pick 2 years ago today: Hawkwind - Night of the Hawks My song pick 3 years ago today: Aretha Franklin - Freeway of Love My song pick 4 years ago today: Queen - She Makes Me (Stormtrooper in Stilettos) My song pick 5 years ago today: The Doors - The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat) My song pick 6 years ago today: Ugly Kid Joe - Busy Bee My song pick 7 years ago today: The Ventures - Hawa

From: Blue Train ; Year: 1958; Genre: Hard Bop Jazz Been thinking about choosing a song from jazz legend John Coltrane and this hard bop album just spoke to me and my mood as a perfect song to pick. This is a great song and album from some of the greatest musicians ever to pick up instruments. Everything and every movement in this piece is just flawless; it would've been amazing to have been there to see John Coltrane and his band live.    Hear Moment's Notice on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: James & Bobby Purify - I'm Your Puppet   My song pick 2 years ago today: The (Detroit) Spinners - Four Hands In The Fire My song pick 3 years ago today: Pearl Jam - Can't Deny Me My song pick 4 years ago today: Helloween - Hocus Pocus My song pick 5 years ago today: Foreigner - Juke Box Hero My song pick 6 years ago today: AC/DC - Touch Too Much My song pick 7 years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Find Out About Love My song pick 8 ye

From: I Sing The Body Electric ; Year: 1972; Genre: Jazz/Jazz Fusion Felt like listening to some Jazz Fusion today; the first place I normally go when in such a mood is Weather Report; today is no different. This is one of the live recordings off the record from a concert in Tokyo, Japan. It's a little more avant-garde in style than their more melodic songs, but still fun to hear and the music is very enjoyable.    Hear Surucucú on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Steeleye Span - Summer Lady   My song pick 2 years ago today: Bobby Freeman - Do You Want To Dance?

From: Counterparts ; Year: 1993; Genre: Hard Rock More of a straight-up hard rocker than the progressive material many would probably think of when you think of the band, which is kind of the main idea of this album for the most part.    Hear Cut to the Chase on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Funkadelic - Tales of Kidd Funkadelic (Opusdelite Years)   My song pick 2 years ago today: The Moody Blues - No More Lies My song pick 3 years ago today: 3 Inches of Blood - Wykydtron My song pick 4 years ago today: Deep Purple - Call of the Wild My song pick 5 years ago today: The Lively Ones - Surf Rider My song pick 6 years ago today: The Rhythm Machine - You Got Action, You Got Me My song pick 7 years ago today: Megadeth - Liar My song pick 8 years ago today: Weather Report - Second Sunday in August My song pick 9 years ago today: AC/DC - Thunderstruck My song pick 10 years ago today: Victor Wooten - Norwegian Wood My song pick 11 years ago today: Hawkwind

From: Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get ; Year: 1971; Genre: Funk/Soul I had another song in mind for today's pick, but when I saw this one suggested to me through the algorithms online I thought it would be perfect for today.

From: In Heat ; Year: 1983; Genre: New Wave Here is another one from the early 1980s; I was young, but I can still remember when the song came out. This one is really driven by that great bass line that plays along really well with the vocal melody.    Hear Talking In Your Sleep on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: The Kinks - Picture Book   My song pick 2 years ago today: Golden Earring - Radar Love My song pick 3 years ago today: Martha and the Vandellas - Nowhere to Run My song pick 4 years ago today: Blood, Sweat & Tears - Smiling Phases My song pick 5 years ago today: Rage Against the Machine - Guerrilla Radio My song pick 6 years ago today: Fleet Foxes - Ragged Wood My song pick 7 years ago today: Tesla - The Way It Is My song pick 8 years ago today: Alice In Chains - We Die Young My song pick 9 years ago today: John Denver - Take Me To Tomorrow My song pick 10 years ago today: Mahavishnu Orchestra - Can't Stand Your Funk My song pick 11 y

From: First Offense ; Year: 1983; Genre: New Wave/Rock Whilst driving around the other day I had this song pop into my head and not leave; I'm kind of surprised I have not chosen it already.

From: Ma ; Year: 1973; Genre: Hard Rock/Psychedelic Soul Had this album from Rare Earth on my mind for a while now and I decided on picking another song from it.

From: Right Back Where We Started From ; Year: 1976; Genre: Soul/R&B From time to time this song "earworms" me; today as I was getting ready to pick a song was one of those times and I figured I'd finally add it.
