https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81DQidV1pEL._SX522_.jpg
From: The Thunderfist Chronicles; Year: 2025; Genre: Pirate Metal/Power Metal
Had them pop into my mind once again this morning; a good mix for doing your taxes to anyway.
This is to date their lengthiest song at an epic 17+ minutes and filled with a great deal of big, astounding music and tales of boldness, adventure and legend.

6785. Harry Nilsson - The Moonbeam Song

-
Image
From: Nilsson Schmilsson ; Year: 1971; Genre: Pop/Rock Haven't chosen a Harry Nilsson song in a while and since his music has been on my mind off and on lately, I thought it'd be a good time for another. This rather laid-back track has a lot of Beatleness throughout, which is probably not a surprise with how much he liked and worked with them.     Hear The Moonbeam Song on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Queensrÿche - Last Time in Paris     My song pick 2 years ago today: Alive 'N Kickin' - Tighter, Tighter   My song pick 3 years ago today: Sweet - Call Me   My song pick 4 years ago today: Lou Rawls - Groovy People   My song pick 5 years ago today: Marillion - Dry Land   My song pick 6 years ago today: Ray Davies - The Getaway   My song pick 7 years ago today: Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) - Keep On Chooglin' My song pick 8 years ago today: The Jimmy Castor Bunch - Luther the Anthropoid (Ape ...

6784. Hawkwind - A Long Long Way From Home

-
Image
From: There Is No Space For Us ; Year: 2025; Genre: Space Rock/Progressive Rock For the last decade or so I have loved that I can count on Hawkwind to seemingly release something new almost every year. This is one of the single releases off of their most recent album from last year and is a close-to-perfect song to bring the record to a close. It is essentially an instrumental with only the final seconds having any vocals. The arrangements are quite beautiful with some great contributions on both the guitar, piano, and synth in particular. It kind of has an overall melancholy feel throughout, but also some hopeful chords and melodies to give the feeling of trudging along; perhaps either on the long journey home, or continuing on the adventure to see wot's beyond the next horizon.   Hear A Long Long Way From Home on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Explorers Club - Impact 5 – Last Call    My song pick 2 years ago today: Wilson Pickett - ...

6787. John Fogerty - Big Train (From Memphis)

-
Image
From: Centerfield ; Year: 1985; Genre: Blues Rock/Country Rock/Rockabilly Had some of the great music from this album come on in a story I happened to be in; I thought I would revisit it. This song is one of the typical Fogerty tracks that crosses all the major Americana genres and seemingly can be played almost anywhere to a crowd.    Hear Big Train (From Memphis) on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Humble Pie - 30 Days in the Hole     My song pick 2 years ago today: The Thermals - An Ear For Baby   My song pick 3 years ago today: Hawkwind - Jack of Shadows   My song pick 4 years ago today: George Clinton - Maximumisness   My song pick 5 years ago today: Bruce Hornsby & The Range - Look Out Any Window   My song pick 6 years ago today: Marillion - This Strange Engine   My song pick 7 years ago today: 10cc - Good Morning Judge My song pick 8 years ago today: The Moody Blues - I Know You're Out There ...

6782. Funkadelic - Adolescent Funk

-
Image
From: Hardcore Jollies ; Year: 1976; Genre: Jazz Fusion/Psychedelic Soul/Funk Going with one of my favourite funk bands for today's pick; sure I have picked a lot of P-Funk, but I am certain that there is no such thing as too much P-Funk, especially the Funkadelic side of things 😁. This is kind of a mellower, jazzier piece that leans into their psychedelic soul background, which makes for a great song to bring this legendary album to a close.     Hear Adolescent Funk on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Lynyrd Skynyrd - Ain't No Good Life     My song pick 2 years ago today: Johnny Rivers - Secret Agent Man   My song pick 3 years ago today: Rush - Resist   My song pick 4 years ago today: Heart - The Oldest Story in the World   My song pick 5 years ago today: Cream - Sitting on Top of the World   My song pick 6 years ago today: Van Der Graaf Generator - Forever Falling   My song pick 7 years ago today:...

6783. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Teach Your Children

-
Image
From: Déjà Vu ; Year: 1970; Genre: Folk Rock/Country Rock This has always been one of my favourite albums from CSN&Y; one of the first records of theirs that I bought. Heck, this is another one of those albums that might as well be a "Greatest Hits" compilation with essentially every one of the tracks getting radio play; definitely easier to name the non hit singles, that's for sure! Teach Your Children is one in particular that has permeated culture since its release; almost to the point of overplay, but with its writing and arranging it avoids that negative aspect in some regard. Apparently Graham Nash wrote it years prior when in The Hollies, but never got recorded until with CS&N. I do not believe that Neil Young had anything to do with this track on the record, but he was part of the act on the record. Without a doubt though, the best aspect of this one is hearing Jerry Garcia playing his pedal steel doing counter-lines, harmonies, and solos.   Hear Teach Yo...

From: Points on the Curve ; Year: 1983; Genre: New Wave Heard this one on the television the other day and knew it was an upcoming pick. Dance Hall Days is another one of those infectious early 1980s new wave classics that just makes you feel like moving and puts you in a good mood.   Hear Dance Hall Days on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Elvis Presley - Guitar Man     My song pick 2 years ago today: Lead Belly - Midnight Special   My song pick 3 years ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - Teen Archer   My song pick 4 years ago today: Triumph - Rock & Roll Machine   My song pick 5 years ago today: Bootsy's Rubber Band - Chug-A-Lug (The Bun Patrol)   My song pick 6 years ago today: Mastodon - Asleep in the Deep   My song pick 7 years ago today: Uriah Heep - Fallen Angel My song pick 8 years ago today: Depeche Mode - Strangelove My song pick 9 years ago today: Billy Joel - Uptown Girl My song pick 10 years...
