From: Bloodflowers ; Year: 2000; Genre: Gothic Rock/Alternative Rock Sadly, yet another storied musician recently passed.

From: Wild Mood Swings ; Year: 1996; Genre: Alternative Rock I happened to notice that it's Monday the 13th again, which I have an ongoing, (but heavily neglected), theme about.

From: Disintegration ; Year: 1989; Genre: Alternative Rock Yet again I got "earwormed" after hearing this track prior; I love that anchoring melody played on the organ and that nice, solid rhythm of the bass and drums.

From: The X-Files: The Album ; Year: 1998; Genre: Alternative Rock I had The Cure on my mind when starting to make today's pick, so you know wot that means.

From: Wish ; Year: 1992; Genre: Alternative Rock I must've heard this track yesterday at some point, but it got stuck in my head. Not one of my favourites from the band, but not a bad song either. There's kind of a special place I have for it I guess; I remember hearing it a lot back when it released. Even then though the sound was a bit dated; sounds very early 1980sish to my ear. Most of my memories have to do with making parody lyrics to this really catchy tune. Hear Friday I'm in Love on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Carmen - Margarita My song pick two years ago today: Ludwig Van Beethoven - Op.130 - String Quartet No.13 "Cavatina" My song pick three years ago today: Wadsworth Mansion - Sweet Mary My song pick four years ago today: Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath My song pick five years ago today: Louis Armstrong - C'est si bon My song pick six years ago today: Jethro Tull - Journeyman My song pick seven years ago today...

When you have memories tied to a certain song it either makes the song really easy to like or hate. This was one that my wife played a bit around the time when we met, so it is etched indelibly in my mind. I actually liked this song before that time, but it certainly made me like it more. Anyway, this was part of the soundtrack from the first The Crow movie, which featured a lot of excellent music. Here is a music video with footage from The Crow on YouTube. +
