6721. 3 Doors Down - Let Me Go

-
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61kIM4B0BXL.jpg
From: Seventeen Days; Year: 2005; Genre: Alternative Rock
It has been a weird year thus far; many deaths occurring from music's past. However, whilst I've never really followed the band closely, this one has had a unique impact on myself with having someone so close to my age pass away. 
Enough about that now; as you probably surmised and already know, Brad Arnold, singer/songwriter for 3 Doors Down lost his battle with cancer. I thought I'd pick one of the band's songs that I remember from back in the day.

6716. Three Dog Night - Joy to the World

-
Image
From: Naturally ; Year: 1970; Genre: Rock As many probably already know, one of Three Dog Night's three-part lead vocals Chuck Negron passed away a couple of days ago at the age of 83. He was noted as the higher pitched of the three vocalists and could really belt it out. While he sung the main lead and co-leads on many of their hit songs during the band's career, I would wager to guess that this is/was his signature track and one of the most memorable. From wot I understand, the rest of the band really didn't dig this one that was being shown by Hoyt Axton, who later also mad his own recording of it. However, Chuck Negron liked the nonsensical nature of the "fun" lyrics and thought they needed something not so serious on their record. He ended up being very correct and became one of their biggest hits. Heck, even children today will get into it the second they hear the opening lyrics: "Jeremiah was a bullfrog!"   Hear Joy to the World on YouTube.     ...

6719. Pallas - Monster

-
Image
From: XXV ; Year: 2011; Genre: Progressive Rock This has to be the most ominous and foreboding songs on this concept album, which is the successor to their classic   Sentinel album. At this point in the story a person is trying to explain the feeling of dread and doom coming to the present-day Earth and a judgment by those in that first allegorical story who warned mankind to not repeat their failures, which they did despite the many warnings.   Hear  Monster on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Sly and the Family Stone - High, Y'all     My song pick 2 years ago today: The Who - The Kids Are Alright   My song pick 3 years ago today: The Steve Miller Band - Circle of Love   My song pick 4 years ago today: Tesla - Heaven's Trail (No Way Out )   My song pick 5 years ago today: Ugly Kid Joe - Madman   My song pick 6 years ago today: Lakeside - Shine On (Lift Your Spirit Higher)   My song pick 7 years ago...

Image
From: Cookin' on the Roof ; Year: 1983; Genre: Pop/Rock/Swing This often overlooked and underappreciated '80s swing/rock/new wave group happens to be on my mind since yesterday, so I'm picking another one of their songs. This one will make you feel like dancing without a doubt.   Hear Furs 'n High Heels on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Dio - Hide in the Rainbow     My song pick 2 years ago today: Waylon Jennings - Are You Sure Hank Done it This Way   My song pick 3 years ago today: Sly and the Family Stone - Love City   My song pick 4 years ago today: Billy Joel - Don't Ask Me Why   My song pick 5 years ago today: R.E.M. - Man on the Moon   My song pick 6 years ago today: Brook Benton - Rainy Night in Georgia My song pick 7 years ago today: Porcupine Tree - Way Out of Here My song pick 8 years ago today: Cyndi Lauper - All Through The Night My song pick 9 years ago today: Larry Graham & Graham Central...

1372 Alabama - Mountain Music

-
Image
From: Mountain Music , Year: 1982 I'm procrastinating tonight and really need to get my pick in and to finish my theme week as well. Anyway, this is the last pick in my "...And about 1300 days later" theme week of picking songs from bands that I haven't picked another song from since my first 100 song picks. I took a look at my first 100 picks and noticed that I had only chosen a song from Alabama once before. I chose their song Roll On (Eighteen Wheeler) back on the 9th of November, 2007 as my 70th pick ; oddly enough it was the 6th song in my Truck Driving Song theme week as well. While I'm not a huge fan of modern country/western music in general there are quite a few bands in the genre that I do like; Alabama is one of them. This is one of their first songs that came to mind when making my pick; I believe it is one of their more popular songs as well. As with most of their material, the vocal harmonies and musicianship are top-notch. Here is the studio v...

6717. IQ - The Enemy Smacks

-
Image
From: Tales From the Lush Attic ; Year: 1983; Genre: Progressive Rock Had a hankering for some second-wave prog rock, aka "neo-progressive rock." IQ is one of the bands from this era that I haven't gotten as heavy into, like I have with ones such as:  Pallas or Marillion . IQ though is one of the vanguard of the second prog wave and were only, as far as I am aware beaten to professional published studio release by Marillion's Script for a Jester's Tear ; their debut as well. Even at that it was just latter that same year, but who is counting, right? Anyway, this album is much more like the original prog rockers' released in that it has very few songs, but those songs are quite lengthy, taking up a good share of a side of a record. In fact, Tales From the Lush Attic originally had just five with The Enemy Smacks is just under fourteen minutes and takes up the lion's share of side 2. Musically you can without a doubt hear the influences of a lot of the pr...

Lars Göran Petrov - Guardians of Asgard My song pick three years ago today: Bob Welch - Ebony Eyes My song pick four years ago today: Jethro Tull - 17 +
