From: The Adventures of Panama Red ; Year: 1973; Genre: Country/Rock I had this rather cute tune on my mind about a dashing desperado... well, yeah, we'll stick with that description of the song.

From: Trouble in the Land ; Year: 2000; Genre: Celtic Rock/Indie Rock This one is such a fun song in only the way Larry Kirwan and the guys in Black 47 could do.

From: La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume One ; Year: 1992; Genre: Alternative Metal Here's one of my personal favourites off of White Zombie's La Sexorcisto album.

From: Larks' Tongues in Aspic ; Year: 1973; Genre: Progressive Rock Figured I should pick some more King Crimson; just felt perfect for today.

From: Slaves and Masters ; Year: 1990; Genre: Hard Rock Had Deep Purple on my mind today; thought I'd pick a song from a more obscure album.
