From: Legends from Beyond the Galactic Terrorvortex; Year: 2019; Genre: Power Metal
Never seem like there is enough nanoseconds in a day to complete all of your work anymore, but still making time to post a song today.
Whilst there's nothing "serious" about it, there is a load of epicness and high-energy metal music to blast you through a Monday.

6769. Carmen - Drifting Along

-
Image
From: Dancing on a Cold Wind ; Year: 1975; Genre: Flamenco Rock/Progressive Rock Was enjoying this album once again yesterday; I thought I would choose another from it. Don't have very many left to pick from on this disc, or any of their others. Such a shame that they existed for such a transient time and with only three releases.... This one exemplifies their blending of hard rock and the intricacies and power of flamenco; just a great one to sit back and lose yourself listening to.   Hear Drifting Along on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Herbie Hancock - Fat Mama     My song pick 2 years ago today: The Kingsmen - Louie Louie   My song pick 3 years ago today: Hawkwind - Spaceship Blues   My song pick 4 years ago today: Jamiroquai - Space Cowboy   My song pick 5 years ago today: Hall & Oates - You Make My Dreams (Come True)   My song pick 6 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Something's on the Move   My song ...

6771. Pete Townshend - Let My Love Open the Door

-
Image
From: Empty Glass ; Year: 1980; Genre: Rock I must've heard this one recently because it has been on my mind for the last day or so. I knew Pete Townshend wrote and sung on this track, always thought there was a recording of it on a Who album too, but I guess I was in error. I really like the bass and drums in particular; definitely the song's driving force.    Hear Let My Love Open the Door on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Grand Funk Railroad - The Loco-Motion     My song pick 2 years ago today: The Steve Miller Band - Young Girl's Heart   My song pick 3 years ago today: Toto - 99   My song pick 4 years ago today: Lou Reed - Men of Good Fortune   My song pick 5 years ago today: Victor Wooten - Joe's Journey   My song pick 6 years ago today: Steeleye Span - Fighting for Strangers   My song pick 7 years ago today: Dire Straits - Romeo & Juliet My song pick 8 years ago today: James Brown - I Got Yo...

6770. Martika - Toy Soldiers

-
Image
From: Martika ; Year: 1988; Genre: Pop Since the other day I've had this track on my mind, which is another that I have not heard in decades. It's weird how certain songs will play almost like you are actually listening to them; this is one of them. Could still remember the chord progression, words and the instruments' sounds. Anyway, back in the late 1980s, (basically when I was a pre-teen/young teenager), I remember hearing this one a lot as well as a handful of other songs from Martika. If I remember correctly she was kind of already a household name prior to her recording debut with her acting career on a few films and television shows. Apparently Martika drew weary of life in the spotlight and the music industry in particular; she walked away after a few years and then reemerged about a decade later. She formed the band Oppera with her husband. They seem to have made two studio album and she has done some more solo recording.   Hear Toy Soldiers on YouTube.     ...

1318 Queensrÿche - Fear City Slide

1318 Queensrÿche - Fear City Slide From: Operation: Mind Crime II, Year: 2006 I've been heavily enjoying Queensrÿche's Operation: Mindcrime II album lately; this is one of many tracks that I absolutely love off of the album. This concept album is a continuation of the story begun on their '88 Operation: Mindcrime album. I can just imagine what the music critics were like when they first heard about this album: a concept album from a Progressive Metal band? They must've went completely apoplectic. Here is the studio version on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Dream Theater - Light Fuse and Get Away My song pick two years ago today: The Doors - Ghost Song My song pick three years ago today: Badfinger - Day After Day +

6767. Eagle-Eye Cherry - Save Tonight

-
Image
From: Desireless ; Year: 1997; Genre: Alternative Rock Here's another one that came out during wot many refer to as the "post grunge" era that I've always liked. Don't know why I haven't chosen one of Eagle-Eye Cherry's songs yet, but I guess I will start with what is his biggest hit. As with many, many artists and bands, over here in The 'States he is erroneously labeled as a "one-hit wonder." He has actually scored a number of hits in other parts of the world, most notably European nations; chiefly his native Sweden. Save Tonight is just one of those tracks that, even if you are not a big fan of it, you'll start drumming your fingers and singing along without noticing.    Watch the music video on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Tears for Fears - Advise for the Young at Heart     My song pick 2 years ago today: The Surfaris - Surfer Joe   My song pick 3 years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - She's a Devil...

815 ( ABBA - I Let the Music Speak )

-

815 ( ABBA - I Let the Music Speak ) This one has been running through my mind for over a month now, it seems like an excellent pick for today. This is one of their most intricate songs that I have heard both musically and lyrically. It is amazingly arranged: very brooding with a classical waltz feeling in the verses and then builds in the pre-chorus and, (with the signature ABBA hook), it launches into the chorus, then it brings you back down. The song's subject is about a musical artist going through the creative process of putting feelings to music, treating the music as a living entity in almost the context of a lover. The lyrics are so deep you could almost drown in them at times. Hear I Let the Music Speak on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Stone Temple Pilots - The Big Empty My song pick two years ago today: Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Mr. Blue Sky +

2225 Pat Benatar - Invincible

-
Image
From: Seven the Hard Way ; Year: 1985; Genre: Rock This song has been literally running through my mind off and on for about two weeks now; as I usually do I am making it my pick. I grew up with Pat Benatar's music, and I can say even though some of her songs are over 30 years old, most have aged incredibly well; including this track. Her powerful voice that is potent in any range only adds to the empowering aspects of this song; that and the straight-forward thundering guitar, bass, and drums are what makes this song as good as it is. From what I understand this was the theme song to a film called The Legend of Billy Jean ; I've never seen or heard of it before, I might have to check it out for the soundtrack alone. Watch the music video clip on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize My song pick two years ago today: Freddy Taylor and His Swing Men from Harlem - Blue Drag My song pick three years ago today: Hans Zimmer - Fight...
