From: United : Year: 1967; Genre: Motown/Soul Had this song on my mind for the last week or so and I'm finally getting around to picking it.

From: Innervisions ; Year: 1973; Genre: Funk/Soul Well, it's another Funky Friday today and I thought I'd get another one in for today. I happened to have Stevie Wonder on my brain at the time I started making this post, so, I'm combining the two. This song really chugs along with that funky beat and line on the keyboards; a perfect choice for this Funky Friday.   Hear Higher Ground on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: The Guess Who? - Clock on the Wall   My song pick 2 years ago today: Nick Lowe - Cruel To Be Kind My song pick 3 years ago today: Elvis Costello - Alison My song pick 4 years ago today: Pink Floyd - Coming Back to Life My song pick 5 years ago today: Aerosmith - Livin' on the Edge My song pick 6 years ago today: Black Sabbath - Tomorrow's Dream My song pick 7 years ago today: King Crimson - One More Red Nightmare My song pick 8 years ago today: Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here My song pick 9 years ago today: Dudley Moor...

From: The Teenagers featuring Frankie Lymon ; Year: 1956; Genre: Rock & Roll Finally got my computer back today, so this is a lot easier to write my blog again. Anyway, being that it is April Fools Day I needed to have an apropos pick and this amazingly fun song came to my mind today.

From: Another Side of Bob Dylan ; Year: 1964; Genre: Folk I recollect the cover of this song by The Turtles, others might remember another cover by someone else, or even perhaps the original; as with a many song from that era it came from the pen of Bob Dylan. This one has a very pronounced folk sound to it, bare bones, but quite heavy at the same time.   Hear It Ain't Me Babe on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Of Monsters and Men - Alligator   My song pick 2 years ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - Beat 'Em Up My song pick 3 years ago today: ZZ Top - Cheap Sunglasses My song pick 4 years ago today: Earth, Wind & Fire - Time Is On Your Side My song pick 5 years ago today: Exile - Please Be There My song pick 6 years ago today: Hank Williams - Hey Good Lookin' My song pick 7 years ago today: Queensrÿche - Speak My song pick 8 years ago today: The Beach Boys - God Only Knows My song pick 9 years ago today: Hawkwind - Living on ...

From: Yin-Yang ; Year: 1999; Genre: Jazz/Jazz Fusion This is a very pretty instrumental song from Mr. Wooten and company; exactly what you would expect from him and the other musicians he plays with.   Hear Joe's Journey on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Steeleye Span - Fighting for Strangers   My song pick 2 years ago today: Dire Straits - Romeo & Juliet My song pick 3 years ago today: James Brown - I Got You (I Feel Good) My song pick 4 years ago today: King Crimson - Dinosaur My song pick 5 years ago today: Molly Hatchet - Both Sides My song pick 6 years ago today: Egg - I Will Be Absorbed My song pick 7 years ago today: Megadeth - Into the Lungs of Hell My song pick 8 years ago today: Soundgarden - Bones of Birds My song pick 9 years ago today: Nightwish - Know Why the Nightingale Sings My song pick 10 years ago today: Stuart Hamm - Black Ice My song pick 11 years ago today: Waylander - Brú Na Bóinne My song ...

From: Styx II ; Year: 1973: Genre: Hard Rock From what I understand, this song is autobiographical of JY Young's early years of growing up in the Roseland neighbourhood and playing music in a band with the Panozzo Brothers, who would of course later become Styx. This is a really good song that is atypical of the early Styx sound.   Hear Earl of Roseland on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Klaatu - A Routine Day   My song pick 2 years ago today: Motörhead - Iron Fist My song pick 3 years ago today: The Allman Brothers Band - Stand Back My song pick 4 years ago today: Mastodon - High Road My song pick 5 years ago today: A-Ha - Love is Reason My song pick 6 years ago today: Bob Seger - Turn the Page My song pick 7 years ago today: Rage Against the Machine - The Ghost of Tom Joad My song pick 8 years ago today: Dire Straits - Walk of Life My song pick 9 years ago today: The Foggy Mountain Boys (Flatt & Scruggs) - Cripple Cree...

From: Voices ; Year: 1980; Genre: Rock/Pop/Soul This is another ones from Hall & Oates that I can recall hearing a lot growing up and it has stuck with me ever since.
