I listen to music a lot while at work (Spotify), but am getting bored with the albums I've downloaded. So I'm looking for suggestions for new albums. What are some of your favorites? I'm partial to rock from the 60s to the 80s, but will take any suggestions.
Thanks!

I never heard of Whiskey Myers, but with a name like Whiskey I'm interested.
I love '70s & ''80s rock, '80s new wave, hard rock, heavy metal, some pop -- as long as it's not the no-talent music of today, alternative, electronic, jazz. Just about anything except country, rap, noise music, and anything they play in clubs. I buy a lot of CDs and tend to go for things that I don't hear on the radio. As soon as I heard Deborah Henson-Conant playing jazz on a harp I fell in love with her music. Albums 2-4 were really good IMO. Jean Luc-Ponty is a master of the electric violin and has dozens of jazz solo albums. He used to play with Frank Zappa and a lot of other people. I'm a big fan of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and all the usual rock groups from that era. I'll take a look at some of the CDs I have here. Besides the bands others have mentioned you may want to try:
Asia
Atlanta Rhythm Section
Jeff Beck
Blind Faith -- the only album they ever made
The Byrds
Candlebox
Cracker
Robert Cray Band (blues) -- Strong Persuader
Cry Of Love
Days of The New, the first (orange) album, not the green or red
Deep Purple
Thomas Dolby
Peter Gabriel
Heavy Metal movie soundtrack -- the only cassette tape I ever wore out
INXS
Chris Isaak -- Heart Shaped World
Joe Jackson
Jackyl -- their first album
James Gang
Jethro Tull
Living Color -- Vivid
Madness
Manfred Mann's Earth Band
Meat Puppets -- Too High To Die. Never expect their lyrics to make any sense.
The Steve Miller Band
Molly Hatchet
The Moody Blues
Ted Nugent
Gary Numan -- The Pleasure Principle, and Telekon, if you can stand his voice. I like the viola parts.
Mike Oldfield -- Tubular Bells, 1973 album
The Alan Parsons Project
Power Station
The Pretenders
Queensryche -- Empire
Rainbow
Santana
Seal -- first 2 albums
Seven Mary Three
Silverchair -- Frogstomp, from when they were only 15 years old
Soft Cell
Soul Asylum
Soundgarden
Spinal Tap
Sponge -- Rotting Pinata
Steely Dan
Al Stewart
toad the wet sprocket -- fear
Traffic
Robin Trower
UFO
the verve pipe -- villains
Rick Wakeman
Whitesnake
Steve Winwood
Yardbirds
Yes
Neil Young
That should keep you busy for a while. I have over 500 CDs plus some tapes and vinyl if you'd like more suggestions.
And I have to mention the boys from Frankenmuth, one of the hottest bands around, Greta Van Fleet. The lead singer sounds a lot like Robert Plant.

I forgot Brother Cane. I like their album Seeds the best.
-
I'm more of a Western music fan - NOT C&W and sure as heck not "Country", at least the modern stuff. People like Ian Tyson, Brenn Hill, Joni Harms, real cowboy singers (they are all working ranchers/farmers).
About the only thing I can suggest is Talking Heads, still like their Stop Making Sense album.
-
Rammstein
Hank Jr.
Black sabbath
Damn Yankees
Procol Harum
Lynyrd Skynyd
Whiskey Myers

Nice... My tastes vary too..
Halestorm
Aaron Lewis
5 Finger Death Punch
Seldom Scene
Allison Krauss and Union Station
Chris Stapleton
Pentatonix.... old stuff while Avi was still with them. Not impressed with their choice of fill-ins.
Walk off the Earth
Johnny Cash
Styx
Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver
Dailey and Vincent
I've got a much longer list but you get the idea. Variety helps cure the boredom. My parents raised me on bluegrass and classic country, I found rebel country and hard rock along the way. I also like just about anything that produces GOOD harmony. There is not a lot of rap that I will listen to, but some of Kid Rock or Limp Bizkit works too.
Lately I spend a lot of time on my pandora feed for Aaron Lewis radio or I will listen to another station called Iron Horse radio.... think classic and current rock in bluegrass/country format.
-
Most of that already mentioned!
Country today is just pop music wearing a straw hat...
Old country is fine!

-
This is good! Keep'em coming. What is your favorite album of all time?
-
David Allen Coe
Michael Martin Murphy
Jerry Jeff Walker
Waylon Jennings
Jessie Colter
Favorite album? Do you really have to ask?
Dark Side of the Moon
-
This is good! Keep'em coming. What is your favorite album of all time?
Texas Flood, Stevie Ray Vaughn
-
Listened to Traveling Wilbury's first album. Not too shabby. It got me thinking that I had Tom Petty's Damn the Torpedoes in high school and listened to it a lot. Got that, too.
-

That's like asking, who is your favorite child?
How about Desert Island Discs? Choose eight recordings you would take if you were to be cast away on a desert island.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_Island_Discs
I've also heard about people making a list of 10 records they would like to take if stuck on a desert island. In no particular order I'd start with:
1. Pink Floyd -- Dark Side of the Moon
2. Black Sabbath -- Paranoid
3. Beethoven -- Symphony No. 9
-
Many of mine have been covered already by several folks (you guys have good taste ;D ).
There's only one group and one single artist that I have every album they put out (and most DVD concerts) and that's Pink Floyd and SRV. I do have everything by the original Lynyrd Skynyrd but only some of the later albums from the 2.0 version.
If you like blues styled music, particularly SRV, his former bandmates (Double Trouble) made a couple of albums after his death with other lead guitarists and singers. One was Arc Angels featuring an old friend of Stevie's doing vocals and guitar.
Also in the same vein of music, check out Ian Moore, Storyville and Los Lonely Boys.
I don't listen to new "country"..... anything newer than Alan Jackson and George Straight don't cut it except for a few acts. I do like Jamey Johnson.
-
George Thorogood
Christopher Cross
Pablo Cruise
ZZ Top
Dr. Hook
Iron Butterfly
Alice Cooper
I tried to not duplicate others, but may have. A lot of good music listed in these two pages!

Wasn't Alan Jackson the guy who totally screwed up Mercury Blues by The Steve Miller Band?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=209ZiEXYxKc
Making songs of any other genre into country songs should be expressly prohibited by law. I heard one on the radio a while back on a station that plays mostly pop music. When I realized what rock song was underneath all that twang I was shocked. It was so bad the song was half over before I realized it was something I'd heard played properly many times before. I like some Charlie Daniel's Band songs and I have a Johnny Cash tape. That's about as country as I get.

I'm not totally opposed to remaking songs in other styles. It's often entertaining.

I guess we're even then..... I've never really cared for The Steve Miller Band. ;D ;D

Steve Miller, yes!
If you want to listen to 2 of his albums I suggest Fly Like an Eagle and Book of Dreams. Or else The Best of 1968–1973 and Greatest Hits 1974–78.
I don't think anyone mentioned Bob Seger yet. He only had 2 live albums, ‘Live’ Bullet and Nine Tonight, both with the Silver Bullet Band. They give you an idea what a live show of his was like back in his heyday. ‘Live’ Bullet was recorded at Cobo Hall in Detroit. Nine Tonight was recorded at Cobo Hall and at the Boston Garden. That was a decade before Like a Rock.
The Eagles - Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975) and Eagles Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 are good. They had several best of albums. I've really liked the five-part harmony on Seven Bridges Road from the moment I heard it. This is the same version that's on Eagles Greatest Hits Volume 2.

The world would be a really boring place if everyone liked all the same things. I'm a Joe Jackson fan but not everyone is. Most people have probably heard Is She Really Going Out with Him? but he did so much more. Here's a little sample. He had several new wave singles before he moved to more jazzy pop music. He had an album called Joe Jackson's Jumpin' Jive where he did a bunch of 1940s songs. That was good. And he did a version of Oh Well, first recorded by Fleetwood Mac in 1969, composed by vocalist and lead guitarist Peter Green.

Good one Solus. And let's not forget Baker Street off the same album.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tynWSAesAo

Most all the songs on that album are great...the rest are only Very Good.
The copy I had was a near digital quality on a normal grooved LP..can't remember the name of the process..
I've been a "stereo buff" since I was in Germany in the mid to late 60s.
Note in Right Down the Line how the small sounds are crisp and do not get muddies when overpowered by the louder bits. This was a great song to use to test the quality of your system.
There is a "harmonic" instrument bit...just lasts for seconds that still gives me chills...
-
Half-speed mastering?
I have a UFO CD called The Essential UFO, with all their greatest hits. Or greatest hit. I recently heard this one on The House of Hair with Dee Snider.

The Alan Parsons Project would be a good place to find music from the '70s and '80s era. Alan Parsons worked at Abbey Road Studios. If you check your copy of The Dark Side of the Moon he's credited for engineering. Here are some of the more popular songs, but I like his instrumental works better. 10 of them are on the album The Instrumental Works.

So much better than the copy by the Ventures....so much more detail.
This is also the song I mentally hear during the fast mountain drives in the movie "Thunder Road" with Robert Mitchum ....not the famos one were he is killed..but the earlier ones.
-
Such good suggestions. A lot of the individual songs I already have in various playlists. Some good albums I either did not know or had forgotten. Many I had in high school.
My music tastes have changed somewhat since then. For instance, I was the first of my friends to discover The Smiths when in college. Tried listening to a couple of their CDs 15 years or so ago, and was appalled at myself for ever liking that. "Shut up, you whiny son of a bitch!" I yelled as I ejected the CD (I may be paraphrasing). Anyway, since they were all original releases, and some of them were out of print and/or limited releases, I was able to sell them all on ebay for a lot more than I paid for them in the '80s.
P.S. I prefer "Alone Again" and "Too Hot to Handle" from UFO.
-
I never knew The Chantays were ever recorded outside of a studio. They did a good job. Some bands suck live.

Thought of some more...
Stray Cats
Brian Setzer orchestra
Waylon Jennings

I wish that I hadn't ruined a lot of good vinyl records in the mid to late 60s with an inexpensive Sears "stereo" when I was in college... by the time I enlisted in 1970, and toured a lot of Japanese audio shops did I figure out what a good turn table and audio cartridge really was... names like Maxell and TDK tape were unknown to me, but I did copy a lot of free music....unfortunately no one repairs a Sansui Eight amp, Dual turntable, or TEAC 4010 tape deck any more... :(
-
Since I got a decent stereo system in the early '80s I've used TDK SA cassette tapes exclusively, with one exception. I have a single Maxell UD90 "normal" tape that I think I got from one of my roommates when I was stationed in Germany. I copied 3 songs each off single LPs of my roommates, all by different groups, starting with the 3 songs on Wish You Were Here that weren't parts I-IX of Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
The TDK Super Avilyn cobalt-adsorbed "chrome equivalent" Type II particle is better than the chromium dioxide used on "chrome" Type II tapes. And TDK SA tapes must be really good. They were used to align the heads of many different brands of cassette decks at the factories that built them. I bought mostly SA90 tapes because one LP nearly always fits on each side of a 90 minute tape. When CDs first came out they were the same length as the albums they came from, so one CD fit on each side of a 90 minute tape most of the time.
Before I had a CD player of my own I borrowed my younger brother's CD player and CDs. I copied a dozen of his CDs onto SA90 tapes in Limited Edition cases, 2 Jeff Beck, 6 Led Zeppelin, and 4 Pink Floyd, all recorded in Dolby C. The tapes sound just as good to me as the original CDs. I have one SA100 tape with Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds on it. Since the double album is about 95 minutes long it wouldn't fit on an SA90 tape. I've since bought the 2 CD version. Ulla!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Wayne%27s_Musical_Version_of_The_War_of_the_Worlds
I have some SA90 blank tapes left and a few newer TDK CDpower 110 blank tapes. I just saw 5 "vintage" regular style SA90s like mine listed for $50 on ebay. The newer CDpower 110s are averaging about 5 bucks each. I still have a couple of SA90 Limited Edition tapes in the original shrink wrap. A single one is listed on ebay for $12.99, and 4 used tapes are $49.99! They came in a unique one-piece clam-shell case.

Jumbo, I am looking at the Pipeline YouTube by the Chantays you and it shows a "formal" looking format for the visual of the link....and the quality if great.
Did you tell us where to find others from that source and I missed it? In either case, can you point me to the source. Thanks...
-
Don't forget Dire Straits, Bad Company, Foreigner, and Iron Maiden. The duel guitar attack of Dave Murray and Adrian Smith are fantastic.

Uh. What?
I just looked it up on YouTube and put the letters "hq" after it. Like this, "chantays pipeline hq". A lot of videos have high quality versions of songs and videos. Some of them are remastered versions. But sometimes people post crappy quality and label it HQ. In that case I search the same thing without the "hq" and see what turns up. A lot of times I look online to see what album the song was on and find most of them on Wikipedia. Once I find what I'm looking for on YouTube I start the video and read Wikipedia while it plays. Sometimes if you look who posted the video it will say something like The Chantays - Topic or Blue Öyster Cult - Topic. I never even looked for that, but if you click on it, it goes to their page with more videos.
The best links are usually the ones with a picture of the album cover on the left with the name of the song, group, and album next to it. Like these 2 from Blue Oyster Cult. I think that's what you were talking about. The first one is a single from their first album from 1972. The second one is a #1 Mainstream Rock hit single from one of their Gold records that came out in 1981. I'm going with a theme for these two. Let me know if I helped or not.

If you want some metal in your diet you may want to try Megadeth. Dave Mustaine was the original lead guitarist for Metallica but not for long. Right before they recorded their first album in 1983 they kicked him out of the band because of his drug and alcohol abuse. Do you know how many drugs and how much alcohol you have to consume to get kicked out of a heavy metal or rock band?
So he started his own band. He's been the lead vocalist and played guitar from 1983 until the present, except for the one year Megadeth was broken up. He had nerve damage in his arm and couldn't play guitar. Megadeth must be doing alright. They've had 15 studio albums and Metallica has only had 10. And Megadeth has had 49 singles to Metallica's 39. Ha! Suck it Metallica. Although not necessarily my favorites, these are Megadeth's songs that made it to number 5 and 6 on the Mainstream Rock charts.

There's a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time for soft music, and a time for something hard. I like a variety of musical styles. As Monty Python used to say, "And Now for Something Completely Different." The last song I heard in my truck was Whirl-y-Reel 1 by Afro Celt Sound System. They mix traditional Irish and West African music with electronic music. When one guy sings in Irish I don't know what he's saying, but that's okay.
I had a 10-disc CD changer in my other truck and one time I had Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 in it. If you skip the first 7 minutes of the video some of you should recognize the very end of it. Without realizing it until later, I had Megadeth's Countdown To Extinction CD with Symphony Of Destruction on it in the CD player the same time as Beethoven.

There's no way I could. 8) They had way too many good songs to post them all.
Those were just part of one (double) album out of:
11 studio albums
16 live albums
18 compilation albums
4 video albums
and 21 singles.

I think most of you remember Ricky Nelson, from The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, having a string of hit songs from the '50s-'70s. Garden Party was his last Top 40 Hit in 1972. His twin sons Matthew and Gunnar Nelson started a band called Nelson in 1989. Their first album, After the Rain, came out in 1990 and they had a #1 hit with (Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection. And the title song hit #6. They still had an '80s sound and aren't likely to be on your "recently heard" list.

Oh, you shouldn't have done that. I'm always tempted to sing along to Flirtin' With Disaster doing my best Molly Hatchet impersonation. :o I had to stop the video before it was too late. Maybe I'll play Whiskey Man or Gator Country. Or better yet something by a different band just to be on the safe side. Maybe some Jethro Tull.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn9IyFLDtjk

Last concert I attended was Jethro Tull @ Wings Stadium in Kalamazoo in October ‘80 with my sweetie, Nancy!
-
The only concert I attended was Operation Rock & Roll with my ex-sweetie at Pine Knob Music Theatre, now DTE Energy Music Theatre in Independence Township, outside of Clarkston, Michigan. Operation Rock & Roll was a 1991 concert tour featuring Judas Priest, Alice Cooper, Motörhead, Dangerous Toys and Metal Church.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Rock_%26_Roll
Alice Cooper put on an amazing show. At one point he was dragged into a movie, until he escaped and came out of the movie screen back onto the stage. Motörhead used to be called the loudest band in the world, and they damaged the Cleveland Variety Theater when they hit 130 decibels there. But at this show, Judas Priest was even louder than Motörhead. Rob Halford riding onto the stage on his Harley and revving it up didn't help matters. 27 years later my ears are still ringing. It was like being on a firing line without your hearing protection. I didn't know anything about Dangerous Toys or Metal Church, and still haven't heard much about them. I have a CD with a variety of metal bands with Metal Church on it.

Johnny Rivers. I saw him on the Riverboat President back in the 80's. He had a lot of good songs but didn't play the music company game.

The only Johnny Rivers song I can remember is Secret Agent Man. My older brother had a record with that on it. Devo made their own version of it, don't ask me why, and they changed the lyrics as well as the music.
Chris Isaak's single of Wicked Game had an instrumental version as the B side.

Cry Of Love only recorded 2 CDs. I have both of them. I had one of the songs from their first CD on my mind. It's the first video. The next 3 made it to #13, #2, and #1 on the Mainstream Rock charts. You may have heard those 3 on the radio. I like the whole CD. Sugarcane, from the second CD made it to #22 on the Mainstream Rock charts. I don't remember hearing that one on the radio.

I listened to a little bit of Butthole Surfers Electriclarryland CD in my truck today. I just found out the original album cover has been replaced by a picture of a prairie dog "due to the graphic image".
Pepper is the only song of theirs I remember hearing on the radio. It hit number 1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, number 19 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, and number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart. I never saw the video until now and it's not as long as the song on the CD. Here are both versions. If you don't like this you won't like the rest of their music. It just gets stranger from here.

I never saw the video until now and it's not as long as the song on the CD. Here are both versions. If you don't like this you won't like the rest of their music. It just gets stranger from here.
Kinda like Buckethead....either you really like it, or you really don't.

I never heard of Buckethead until one day I saw a video of his on YouTube. He's an amazing guitarist. I just looked at his discography on Wikipedia.
306 studio albums, 1 live album, 4 special releases, 1 extended play, 5 demo tapes, 3 solo DVD video releases, 2 DVD video releases with Cornbugs, 3 music videos, 3 unreleased albums, 3 solo videography releases, and 16 videography releases with other artists.
306 studio albums!!! He was on 15 movie soundtracks and besides the 2 dozen bands he's been part of, he's had guest appearances with about 3 dozen more bands. How have I not heard of him sooner? He can do a lot more that the shredding that he seems to be most famous for.

I'm not suggesting you listen to the CD I was today, but here's a song from the movie soundtrack by Wendy Carlos. It's hard to believe this is from 1971. Every song was recorded one note at a time because the early Moog synthesizers could only play one note at a time. Then it all had to be put together after it was recorded. Wendy Carlos gave Robert Moog feedback when he developed the Moog synthesizer and was one of his first customers, back she was Walter Carlos. Moog built them and Carlos played them.
She was the first person to record an album with a synthesizer, the main person responsible for making people aware of them in the first place, and for popularizing them. Another song on this album was the first recorded song featuring a vocoder for the singing, which people are still using. Besides A Clockwork Orange she also did the soundtracks for The Shining and Tron, and had a baker's dozen of other albums. Her first album in 1968 went Platinum and won 3 Grammy Awards. Not bad for a first album with an instrument no one else had ever made an album with. Another CD I have of hers was recorded without a single microphone. Every instrumental and vocal sound came out of a computer that her synthesizers were plugged into.

I sometimes buy movie soundtracks that have a variety of different musicians on them if I hear a song I like. That way I get to hear some songs I've heard before and some I haven't heard, often by groups that I haven't heard of. Today I finished Alice Cooper -- Welcome to My Nightmare while driving around and started listening to the Tales from the Crypt presents Demon Knight original soundtrack. It's mostly rock and heavy metal. It has Hey Man Nice Shot by Filter. It's about R. Budd Dwyer's public suicide at a press conference after he was convicted on bribery charges. The CD starts with a version of Cemetery Gates by Pantera. One song out of 10 really sucks IMO but opinions vary. Some people will hate all 10.
There was also a Tales from the Crypt presents Bordello of Blood movie. Most of the soundtrack was good. It had music ranging from Anthrax on the title song to From The Underworld by The Herd featuring Peter Frampton. I don't remember hearing that in 1968 when I was a kid, but let's face it, that's been a while. There are also a half dozen classic rock songs by the original artists, and a version of the Kiss song Deuce by Redd Kross, whoever they are.

I finished Jethro Tull -- Original Masters and started Megadeth -- Cryptic Writings in my truck today. At home I put Z93 on for awhile. I don't think a day goes by they don't play Greta Van Fleet -- When The Curtain Falls. But since it's Halloween tomorrow I had to put on my Halloween Hootenanny CD. Some of the songs are short instrumentals. Some aren't. It's my music suggestion for the day.

I started listening to a Monster Magnet CD that had 4 singles released, but only 3 of them made the charts. Here they are. You may not care for it, but maybe it's something you aren't tired of hearing yet. There's only one way to find out. Space Lord made it to number 3 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.

I had a bit of Alta Mira by The Edgar Winter Group on the mind today. It wasn't one of the 5 singles (out of 10 songs) from They Only Come Out at Night. It's my least favorite song on the whole album but there it was anyway. BTW, Edgar Winter is my favorite albino musician. 8)

On the Donny & Marie show back in the '70s, Donny Osmond did a version of Edgar Winter's Frankenstein. Skip ahead to 4:40 if you want to see it. I saw this when I was a kid and thought it was cool with the sparks flying and everything. Now it's just corny and bad. I thought it was the whole song too and not just half of it.

I may have already posted this somewhere on the forum. If so, here it is again. The J. Geils Band -- "Live" Full House. The poker hand on the album cover is only 3 of a kind, but they played to a full house whenever they went to Detroit. It was the first of three live albums and was recorded in Detroit. The second was recorded in Detroit, and in Boston where they're from. The last one was recorded at Pine Knob in Clarkston, Michigan, in between Detroit and my house.

I thought about posting a few songs by bands from Michigan and when I looked to see some I may not have already known about, I wasn't expecting to find well over 1,000 bands in Michigan listed and linked to their websites. :o
http://madmanmike.com/bands_musicians_michigan.html
If you search for rock bands, or just bands, from -- and put your state in there will be a Wikipedia page about some of them among the results. Here are some you should have heard at one time or another. The Verve Pipe's song The Freshmen was a bigger hit (#1) than Photograph (#6) but I wanted to hear Photograph.

Here's another Michigan band. Rare Earth was the first big hit-making act signed by Motown that consisted only of white members. The band was one of the first acts signed to a new Motown imprint that would be dedicated to white rock acts. The record company did not have a name for the new label yet and the band jokingly suggested Motown call the label "Rare Earth". To the band's surprise, Motown decided to do just that. Some of these songs have longer versions 10 minutes-21 minutes long, but these are the shorter versions that fit on the millions of 45 RPM records they sold. There are also videos on YouTube of them performing live.

I forgot to post earlier that I saw a CD for sale called Best Of Southern Rock.
There are only 10 songs on the CD and one of them is Smokin' In the Boy's Room by Brownsville Station, a Michigan band from Ann Arbor. That's only a 55 minute drive for me, but it is south of here. ::) Cub Koda, the lead singer, guitarist, harmonica player, co-writer, and all-around wild-man, was a native of Detroit. He previously formed several bands when he was at Northern Michigan University in Marquette, a literal pain in the butt 7 hour drive from Detroit, and definitely not in the south. The only thing Marquette is south of is Lake Superior and not by very much. You can probably see the lake, to the east if not the north, from the university campus.
Another song is Slow Ride by Foghat from London, England, United Kingdom. They didn't sound like southerners to me and I never thought of them as a southern rock band. Another song is Dixie Chicken by Little Feat from Los Angeles, California. You could say they sometimes played a southern rock style, like Creedence Clearwater Revival from El Cerrito, California in the San Francisco Bay Area did. So with only 7 songs from southern bands, and one band from a completely different continent, I wouldn't call this the definitive Southern Rock collection. Ed King, writer of Born To Run, was a guitarist for psychedelic rock band Strawberry Alarm Clock from Los Angeles, California, and guitarist and bassist for Lynyrd Skynyrd from 1972 to 1975 and again from 1987 to 1996, so that makes it a southern rock song.
Track Listing
1. Born To Run - Lynyrd Skynyrd
2. Slow Ride (Single Version) - Foghat
3. Jim Dandy - Black Oak Arkansas
4. Dixie Chicken - Little Feat
5. Bring Down The Hammer - Georgia Satellites
6. Smokin' In the Boy's Room - Brownsville Station
7. Brickyard Road l - Johnny Van Zant
8. Queen Of Memphis - Confederate Railroad
9. Highway Song (Single Version) - Blackfoot
10. Mississippi Moon Dog - Molly Hatchet

I just got done listening to the Stranger in Town album by Bob Seger. It came out in 1978 and was certified not just gold, but platinum, less than a month later. It eventually went 6× Platinum and all 4 singles ended up on one of his greatest hits albums. Greatest Hits was certified Diamond (over 10,000,000 copies sold) by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) last year.

I think I already mentioned the Australian band Silverchair. Their first album, Frogstomp, came out when all 3 members of the band were only 15 years old. Here are the 4 singles from it. The 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition came out 3 years ago. Frogstomp was certified 2× Platinum by the RIAA and their next 2 studio albums went Gold.

You may be familiar with Seal's #1 hit song Kiss from a Rose. It was one of 4 singles from his second album to make the charts, and it was on the Batman Forever soundtrack. He also had 3 singles that charted on his first album. Here they are. Crazy is one of those songs I like to crank up loud when I'm driving. The Beginning is a dance song. Killer charted on the Billboard Hot 100 (barely) and Billboard Dance Club Songs.

Weird Al just got another Grammy nomination. This one is “Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package” for Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic. It's a 15-album box set that looks like an accordion and hit #1 on the Billboard Top Comedy Albums charts last year.
https://imgur.com/gallery/N7kLM
Weird Al guitarist Jim Kimo West's album Moku Maluhia – Peaceful Island was nominated for a Grammy for Best New Age Album. It's his 12th solo album. He plays Hawaiian slack key guitar and did a couple of Christmas albums too. I like a little slack key now and then, and it's about time for some Christmas music.

I've had the song Voice of Eujena on my mind a lot the last few days. Of the 8 singles Brother Cane released from the only 3 albums they ever made, this was their lowest ranking song at number 30 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart. Not too bad for being their worst single.

These are the 3 singles from On Through the Night, Def Leppard's 1980 debut album. This was the first of 5 consecutive Platinum albums immediately followed by 2 Gold records. Drummer Rick Allen's left arm was severed by a car accident in between the 3rd and 4th albums. He came up with the StickRick character and "Life Is Great!! Be A Rockstar!!" slogan for his One Hand Drum Company. Proceeds from the sale of merchandise go to support the Raven Drum Foundation charity he and his wife started.

Last month I heard a Bob Seger song on the radio. I remember the DJ saying, there's one you don't hear too often, but I can't remember what song it was. So here's a song that hit #1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. From the 1982 double Platinum album, The Distance. I have no idea if this is the song I heard but it's been on my mind lately.

I am envious of you guys... once upon a time (70-73) I acquired a pretty good sound system that fell into the allowable shipping weight of the DOD... Dual turntable, TEAC reel to reel, Sansui 65w per channel amp and Pioneer speakers...and the barracks had a sharing rule, once someone got a new album and recorded it, it was free for anyone else to copy... but since then, and with my worsening hearing loss, listen instead to conservative talk radio when in the car... (which most likely jacks up my blood pressure)
-
I have some cassette copies I made of my roommates' LPs but I never listen to them. And I still have the Pioneer speakers I bought while stationed in Germany in the early '80s. The woofers had to be replaced because of woofer rot. They lost some of their 63 pounds each weight because the new 12" woofers don't have the HUGE magnets the slightly smaller 30cm woofers had. These bookshelf speakers are sitting on top of my Paradigm floor-standing speakers. These aren't the kind Paradign speakers that cost $35,000 a pair :o but they sound good enough to me. I listen to all of my music on the computer or in my truck now anyway.
I don't have a favorite song but I'm listening to Mozart - Eine Kleine Nachtmusik right now. I don't know if I posted it before or not but I've always liked it.

I think I mentioned Rick Wakeman's 1974 album Journey to the Centre of the Earth before but don't remember if I posted a link. He played 11 different synthesizers and keyboards on the album, often 2 at a time. He had 105 solo albums and albums with his son Adam, in addition to the 25 Yes albums he was on, plus 31 more with other bands he was in, and guest appearances on 20 other albums, plus he had a couple of singles.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ9W2pZwvlY
25 years later, in 1999, he came out with a sequel called Return to the Centre of the Earth. All of the odd-numbered tracks are narrated by Patrick Stewart. All of the even-numbered tracks are songs. Years ago I listened to the whole CD, then programed my CD player to play the odd-numbered tracks only, and then the even-numbered tracks only. I've only listened to all of it since then. Other musicians include Justin Hayward from The Moody Blues, Katrina Leskanich from Katrina and the Waves, Ozzy Osbourne, and Bonnie Tyler.

Here's an oldie by The Charlie Daniels Band from 1973. Uneasy Rider.
One of my favorites... Sort of "Country Rap" rather than singing...but, opposed to other Rap, it is still "musical" with rhyming lyrics...
P.S. Twice, around 2000, I was asked in a bar if I was Charlie Daniels. Would have taken it as a compliment if I had been playing a guitar and singing. ;) ;) ;)

My suggestion is to listen to The Who. That's what I did after reading about this incident that took place when drummer Keith Moon spent his 21st birthday at the Holiday Inn, Flint, Michigan after a concert. The hotel is about a 4 mile drive from my house and I never knew the history of it when I passed by. I'm even closer to Atwood Stadium where the concert was, 2.5 miles to the entrance, and didn't have any idea what went on there in the '60s. I had a free ticket to a Flint City Bucks soccer game there Wednesday but didn't go. I would have only seen them lose 1-2 against Dayton Dutch Lions, and I'm not a fan anyway. Here's the video that was missing from the article in the link below.

A few weeks ago I was listening to internet radio from other countries, mostly in Europe. Some had nothing but songs sung in their native language, and some had songs by the original artists, not local remakes. I ended up on a good station in Poland playing classic rock when I heard Doctor Doctor by UFO. I haven't heard that since I played their greatest hits CD.

Here's it is from The Moody Blues first album, The Magnificent Moodies, 1965, with guitarist Denny Laine on vocals. And a non-album single also from 1965, Time Is On My Side. Then 2 songs from their next album in 1967 with Justin Hayward.

Plus I've been listening to a Spotify (free) channel playing their pick of the top 100 prog-rock songs. That's usually just while I unpack groceries or work on guns or something by the computer. This is on my newest Moody Blues cassette from 1988.

Last night there was one particular song I wanted to hear on YouTube. Hours later when I quit listening it was after sunrise. :-[ One of the songs I heard was from this concert and when I heard the vocals I was stunned. I haven't listened to the whole thing yet but I plan to. There's more about them at Wikipedia. Heilung is an experimental neofolk-rock band with members from Denmark, Germany and Norway. Their music is based on texts from artifacts of the Iron Age originated by the Northern European peoples of the Celtic and Viking Age. The languages used are varied, with German, English, Gothic, Latin, Proto Norse and Viking age Old Norse being used. Heilung means healing in English.

I listened to half of that Heilung video while cleaning up, then some random videos from Euzen, Celticfest, etc.

I listened to a song on YouTube that someone mentioned on a TV show, and when it was over I played this song that was listed to the right of it. Basement Jaxx is an English electronic music duo, but one guy did nothing on this whole album but produce. 8 seconds into the song I knew whose music they stole, because I've heard M.E. by Gary Numan so many times. Wikipedia says they also used part of This Wreckage by Gary Numan, but they didn't mention it on the page about the album.

I was listening to One-Hit Wonders on Spotify earlier. I like that channel. They played some songs I didn't have to look to see who it was, like Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum, and some songs I don't remember ever hearing. They played Steady, As She Goes, by The Raconteurs, which I've heard a few times but didn't know who it was. Wikipedia says The Raconteurs is an American rock band from Detroit, Michigan, based in Nashville, Tennessee, and the lead singer is Jack White from The White Stripes. Here are 2 different music videos for Steady, As She Goes.

I'm in my mid-late 50s and finally got my first cell phone. I'm not an "early adopter" who always has the newest of... anything, really. Looking through all the options on my phone I see where I can upload a ringtone. One of my friends has been doing that for years, but I found out I can make my own instead of downloading them like my friend did. I can record up to 40 seconds and was thinking about using the beginning of Pink Floyd's Time, or where the tubular bells start on Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells album. The whole album is just the song Tubular Bells divided into Part 1 and Part 2. He recorded 14 tracks or however many it took of him playing every instrument on the album by himself, and laid them down one after another until all the instruments were playing at the same time. This was really sophisticated work for a 19-year old back in 1973 when they only had 4-track recorders to work with. It's hard to believe how well these 2 47-year old albums stood up over the years. The tubular bells come into play about 22:50-22:55, and it's the finale of Part 1. If I make one of these my ringtone, I'll see if I can use it for my alarm.

A week or so ago I heard on the radio that NFL's Monday Night Football was replacing whatever theme song it's been using for 24 years(?) with a remixed version of Rip It Up by Little Richard. This is supposed to be it, but I only heard the few seconds they played on the radio during the announcement.

I liked that song Tom and never heard it before, so I looked it up online while listening. First it was on the 1990 Keepers of the Flame album by a band called Phoenyx. Then it was part of the "War Trilogy" on Midsummer by Heather Alexander in 1997: Tomorrow I Leave For Battle, a love ballad, March Of Cambreadth, about the battle, and Courage Knows No Bounds, looking back on the battle. Wikipedia says March Of Cambreadth has been featured in a few novels too. And Heather Alexander is some guy named Alexander James Adams who wrote the song in the late 1980s. I thought it sounded a lot older than that. He, she, or it is full of surprises. And I'm not willing to learn 54 new pronouns or whatever it's up to now to be "gender inclusive". I like it no matter what their gender is.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNvz4TpIFiI

I always think it's strange when I find out about someone with one of those female/male name and/or gender changes. Like when I found out that Wendy Carlos, the winner of three Grammy Awards for the 1969 album Switched-On Bach, used to be Walter Carlos. He had a sex-change operation in 1972 after 4 years of taking female hormones. They needed the money they got from the commercial success of Switched-On Bach to afford the "Bobbitt". She helped Robert Moog with the development of the Moog synthesizer, and was the person who first made them popular. She also wrote the scores to the movies A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, and Tron. She did Peter & the Wolf/Carnival of the Animals – Part II with "Weird Al" Yankovic, which was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Album for Children. I believe I mentioned before the album Beauty in the Beast where the entire album is synthesized, including the voices singing. "All the music and sounds heard on this recording were directly digitally generated. This eliminates all the limitations of microphones, the weak link necessary in nearly all other digital recordings, including those that use 'sampling' technologies." Her videos usually get taken down quickly leaving mostly tributes by unknowns.

Larry Fast thanks Wendy Carlos for advice on at least one of his CDs. He made 11 albums under the name Synergy, was in progressive rock band Nektar, played synthesizers for Peter Gabriel on records and on tour, on a couple of Foreigner albums, on Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart", and the list goes on. His first Synergy album, in 1975, Electronic Realizations for Rock Orchestra, was Number 66 on the Billboard 200 for 18 weeks. In 1976 Sequencer was Number 144 for 11 weeks, and in 1978 Cords was No 146 for 6 weeks. A lot of his stuff is on YouTube including full albums. Here's a song off each of the first 3 albums. I think Cords was the first one I ever heard. My older brother had it on a transparent LP. The song I posted from it goes farther from natural sounds than most of his stuff to that point.

I've had Synergy music running through my mind day and night anytime something else isn't occupying my mind. I probably will until I listen to a CD or two of it. But maybe some music with real instruments will push it aside.

I haven't watched that show yet but I saved a shortcut to my desktop after you posted something about it on here. It looks really interesting. I was listening to free Spotify while I was preparing lunch and I've been going though a playlist called Made In Wales. It has some people and songs I know like Tom Jones doing his "sexy Welsh thing", people I've heard of but never listened to like Charlotte Church, songs I've heard but didn't know who did them, and songs by people I'm familiar with but didn't know were Welsh. Here are a few I heard Thursday.
I Heard Him Knocking but didn't know he was Welsh
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4TzjRFfsJs
I heard this on the radio a bunch of times and didn't know who it was or the name of the song. I didn't really care either.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2BUEzdjfpY
This sounds familiar, just the music, not the vocals. I heard this song somewhere before, or the music was stolen from a song I haven't figured out yet.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmCZ4f8NhOk
Bonus video! I had to hear it.

I think I know where that music was stolen from. Anyone care to vote? Yea or Nay?

ETA: Wikipedia says "Juxtapozed with U" was inspired by the Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder track "Ebony and Ivory" as well as the work of Marvin Gaye and Caetano Veloso. The track was originally conceived as a duet, with the band approaching both Brian Harvey from East 17, and Bobby Brown to sing alongside Gruff Rhys. Both turned the band down so Rhys sang the verses through a vocoder to imitate another person, something which he has described as a "very schizophrenic thing to do". Rhys has claimed his lyrics address social injustice and are about "house prices going up, and people being left behind by the super rich". The song has echoes of the Philadelphia soul music of the 1970s as well as David Bowie's "plastic" approximation of the sound on his 1975 album Young Americans. The group tried to make the song as "plastic" as possible: "if we'd tried to make it sound authentic, it would have been awful."
It sounded to me like it was inspired by the second half of the song posted here that doesn't have that wickety sound in it.

The song "Call on Me" by Eric Prydz is based on a sample of Steve Winwood's 1982 song "Valerie" from the album Talking Back to the Night. If you want to hear more than 3 words of the song repeated over and over, along the occasional "I'm the same boy I used to be", here's the original version of Valerie.

Of the four guys who formed Pink Floyd in 1965 only two are still living.
Syd Barrett, the original lead and rhythm guitarist and vocalist from 1965–1968 died in 2006.
Richard Wright left the band in 1979 but came back from 1990–1995 and 2005. He was a touring/session member from 1979–1981 and 1986–1990. He died in 2008.
Roger Waters is one of the original members and was in the band from 1965–1985 then left for 10 years. He came back in 2005, but not 2012–2014. He's still alive.
David Gilmour is still alive and playing but he didn't join the band until 1967. He stayed with the band 1967-1995, 2005 and 2012-2014.
Nick Mason was the only member to be in the band the whole time, 1965–1995, 2005, and 2012–2014. And he's the only one to play on all of Pink Floyd's studio albums. In 2018 he put together a new band called Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets, named after Pink Floyd's second album, to perform the early music of Pink Floyd. Former Blockheads (Ian Dury and the Blockheads) guitarist Lee Harris, and bassist and Pink Floyd collaborator Guy Pratt approached Mason with the idea of forming a band to perform Pink Floyd's early psychedelic material. They were joined by vocalist and guitarist Gary Kemp of Spandau Ballet, and Orb keyboardist Dom Beken. A lot of fans discovered Pink Floyd with The Dark Side of the Moon, their eighth studio album, and Mason wanted to bring their earlier material to a wider audience. In September they released a movie and an album recorded at London's Roundhouse where Pink Floyd played some of their early shows in the 1960s. Most of these songs have never previously appeared on any official live releases by Pink Floyd or any of its members. This is as close as you can get to a time machine to go back and hear early Pink Floyd concerts.

Issued as a double album in February 1972, Eat a Peach is the third studio album by the Allman Brothers Band. On October 29, 1971, group leader and founder Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle accident in the band's hometown of Macon, Georgia, making it the final album to feature the guitarist.

I heard part of a song on another site that I didn't know was by Iggy Pop so I did I dive into Wikipedia and YouTube. I found a song by the first band he was in called The Iguanas. Way before he was The Godfather of Punk, they started as Ann Arbor (Michigan) High School students, and Iggy Pop was still known by his birth name Jim Osterberg. He was the drummer and one of the vocalists. It was a garage rock band that mainly performed covers of British Invasion songs at high school concerts and fraternity parties. They cut several records and recorded one single, a cover version of Bo Diddley's "Mona" in 1965. Here it is.
Then he was in a blues band based in Ann Arbor, Michigan called The Prime Movers. When he joined the Prime Movers, James Osterberg took the name "Iggy", from his previous band The Iguanas. Here's a a recording of Iggy Pop singing the Muddy Waters song I'm a Man. And a whole bunch of other stuff.
After that he was in The Stooges, with one album labeled as Iggy and The Stooges, and then he went solo. Iggy Pop and David Bowie co-wrote a lot of songs, and Bowie later recorded some of them. Iggy Pop's version of China Girl came out on his 1977 album The Idiot. David Bowie's version didn't come out until 6 years later on Let's Dance. And since I'm posting The Stooges, I'll post The Seven Stooges, too. That's right, not The Three Stooges, but Seven.

I can't really suggest you listen to this song, but Where's Your Head At was popular all over the world for awhile. I had this caught in a crack in my brain several times the last month or so, and finally had to find out who it was. It's an English electronic music duo called Basement Jaxx. They won the Billboard Music Awards Top Hot Dance Club Play Artist - Duo/Group in 2000, and about 10 other awards, but I never heard of them other than this one song.
It's based on samples from Gary Numan's songs M.E. from the 1979 album The Pleasure Principle (Number 1 album in the United Kingdom), and This Wreckage from the 1980 album Telekon (his third consecutive Number 1 album). The instruments on The Pleasure Principle were mostly just a few synthesizers, bass, viola and drums. Telekon kept the synthesizers, bass, viola and drums, but added about 10 more synthesizers, mostly analog. There was also a guitar on Telekon and a piano on both albums, but the synth/bass/viola/drum combo gives both albums a sound unlike any other new wave/synth-pop/electronica band, or anyone really. The lower notes on a viola makes it sound a lot bigger than a violin, closer to a cello than violin to me. I didn't know what instrument was until I looked at the album labels way back when.
In the song This Wreckage, Gary Numan is singing something I didn't understand, probably for 35 years, but finally found out one day was Japanese. No wonder I couldn't make out what he was saying, I don't speak Japanese. Most of the online lyrics for the song say, (Japanese phrase - means "Goodbye, forever"). But Genius Lyrics says 別れよう which is "wakareru". It means to part (usu. of people), to part from, to part with, to be apart from, to separate (of a couple), to break up, to divorce, to lose (e.g. one's mother), to be bereaved, and another spelling and more meanings. Some places just said it means to split. I liked some of Gary Numan's music, never his voice. But at the age of 63 his voice doesn't sound as bad, like on the album Intruder that's coming out next month.
In the late 1970s, Gary Numan began developing his style. According to him, this was an unintentional result of acne; before an appearance on Top of the Pops, "I had spots everywhere, so they slapped about half an inch of white make-up on me before I'd even walked in the door. And my eyes were like pissholes in the snow, so they put black on there. My so-called image fell into place an hour before going on the show." His "wooden" stage presence was, in his words, a result of extreme self-consciousness and lack of "showmanship" and often referred to as being "like an android". I guess he finally got over that, that but Asperger's syndrome is still kicking his asp. His 11 year old daughter Persia contributed vocals to his song My Name Is Ruin from his 2017 album Savage (Songs from a Broken World), and appeared in the video. It sounds like he reused some of the music from it in Saints and Liars.

I was looking at a site a couple days ago that had among other things patches, hats and stuff and a lot of it was for Vietnam veterans. There seemed to be especially a lot for the 25th Infantry Division, whose shoulder sleeve insignia someone nicknamed the electric chili pepper. I wanted to see if I could find out more about the nickname and when I searched online I instead found this guy playing Red Hot Chili Peppers songs on his bass with a red hot chili pepper. 8)

Let's Go Brandon! I heard a few different songs like that so far, probably including those, I'll have to see. I haven't listened to the Kid Rock song yet. On a related note, the guys at the dealership where I took my SUV for repair all like my FJB Edition badges on the front doors. Like I told them, not all Yukons are Denalis, and even fewer are F**k Joe Biden Editions. ;D <-- Smiles all around. --> ;D
I just found out that a Scottish progressive rock band that was only active from 1969–1976 had a song called Madame Doubtfire 50 years ago. The book Madame Doubtfire came out 15 years later. Finally, the movie Mrs. Doubtfire, based on the book, came out 6 years after that, 21 years after the the album with the song Madame Doubtfire on it. The song is nothing special. I just find the whole situation very odd. Maybe the English writer, Anne Fine named her character and the book after the song. The band found success in Germany, appearing on German TV's legendary Beat-Club, then at the First British Rock Meeting in Speyer in September 1971.
I didn't put their version of MacArthur Park here... because it's MacArthur Park. If any of the 90+ versions of the song sound REALLY good, let me know. Until then, I'll be listening to Weird Al's Jurassic Park. Jurassic Park is frightening in the dark All the dinosaurs are running wild Also, I didn't know MacArthur Park was sung by Richard Harris. The same Richard Harris who starred in A Man Named Horse back in 1970. I didn't see it at the time but my older brother told me all about it. Take a look at the pictures at IMDb.com if you're curious.
Now I find out this band was founded in 1969 - Disbanded in 1975 - Reformed briefly in 1980 and again in 2007. But Wikipedia just says they were active 1969–1976. Also, their name is derived from a novel by the poet John Gray in 1728.

I generally don't like Kid Rock's music, but I do like that song. Thanks for posting it Rastus. It will take me about 2 seconds to download the video at YouTube. Let's all pretend I didn't say that. Downloading YouTube videos is against "The Rules." If you want to watch a video again, you should get on the ad-littered internet to watch it each time, like a good little consumer.

Of course you can skip all those songs and go straight to his second of 26 studio albums in the last 49 years, Bridge of Sighs. That was a commercial breakthrough for him as a solo artist. After 48 years it still doesn't sound old and out of date, at least to a lot of people. It's hard to believe the 77 year just old put out another album this year. And one last year, and 2 years before that, and, and, and... Most people his age are almost ready for a nap, dirt or otherwise, but he just keeps on going, like the Energizer Bunny with a guitar. I guess he had to do something to keep busy during COVID lockdown. ;)

Following the release of Gaucho in 1980, jazz pianist Keith Jarrett sued the band for copyright infringement. Gaucho's title track, credited to Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, bore a resemblance to Jarrett's "Long As You Know You're Living Yours" from Jarrett's 1974 album Belonging. In an interview with Musician magazine, Becker and Fagen were asked about the similarity between the two pieces of music, and Becker told Musician that he loved the Jarrett composition while Fagen said they had been influenced by it. After their comments were published, Jarrett sued, and Becker and Fagen were legally obliged to add his name to the credits and provide Jarrett with publishing royalties.

Weird Al made a song that pokes fun of the way George Thorogood and some other musicians have a long lead-up heading into a song. Of course he did. ::) And in truly Weird fashion, he proceeded to overdo it. My motto is, anything worth doing is worth overdoing. So present to you, in all it's 11:23 minutes of glory, the song Albuquerque, in which he does eventually get to the point. Enjoy! Or don't. Enjoyment is always optional. ;D I have a little story here for you...

I just came across a live performance of Liar by Rollins Band at the 1994 Grammy Awards. That's one of the few times I know of he's performed wearing anything more than a pair of shorts. Soundgarden won the Grammy for Best Metal Performance for Spoonman. During their acceptance speeches lead guitarist Kim Thayil said You know, Henry and Chris and the rest of Rollins Band come out here and kick your ass, and you guys turn around and lie to them. Then lead vocalist Chris Cornell says Sorry Henry and waves as they leave the stage.

Frijid Pink is a Detroit area blues rock band formed in 1967, best known for their 1969 rendition of "House of the Rising Sun". I like their version better than The Animals', but they didn't sound as good in 2016-2017 from the little bit I heard. Here are a few live versions of theirs of House of the Rising Sun and The Animals' version. And I'll throw in something else I just found, just for S&G*.

UFO, an English rock band formed in London in 1968, became a transitional group between early hard rock and heavy metal, and the new wave of British heavy metal. The band featured former Scorpions guitarist and Michael Schenker Group (MSG) founder Michael Schenker, who was a member of UFO from 1973 to 1978 and rejoined the band sporadically between 1993 and 2003. He was an early member of the hard rock band Scorpions, a band co-founded by his elder brother Rudolf Schenker. In the mid-1970s, Schenker joined UFO, playing lead and rhythm guitar. He left the band in 1978 to found the Michael Schenker Group. He has rejoined UFO three times, producing an album each time. Schenker continues to perform and record. He has been called "a legendary figure in the history of metal guitar.
Over a career spanning 55 years, UFO have released 22 studio albums, 14 live recordings, 16 compilation albums and one album of cover songs. They achieved moderate success in the late 1970s and early 1980s with several albums and singles (including their 1979 live album Strangers in the Night) in the UK and US Top 40 charts, and have sold over 20 million records worldwide. Some of their best-known songs include "Doctor Doctor", "Rock Bottom", "Natural Thing", "Lights Out", "Too Hot to Handle" and "Only You Can Rock Me". UFO are considered one of the greatest classic hard rock acts, and often cited as one of the key influences on the 1980s and 1990s hard rock and heavy metal scenes. The band were ranked number 84 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock".
UFO have influenced a number of bands, such as:
Metallica
Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Def Leppard
Dio
Scorpions
Guns N' Roses
Megadeth
Slayer
Testament
Anthrax
Carcass
Overkill
Iced Earth
Anvil

The waH, waH, waH, waH, waH! of the keyboards on Lights Out reminds me a little of Jon Lord of Deep Purple. It doesn't show Lord's style and complexity, but has some of the energy he showed when he ignored the Moog synthesizer others were starting to play with, and began experimenting by driving the Hammond organ through Marshall amplifiers in an effort to match the attack and volume of Ritchie Blackmore's guitar. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but it's reminiscent of someone else back then too, but I can't think of who.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer's fifth studio album, Works Volume 1, released as a double album in 1977 had the song C'est la Vie on it. The same year, Johnny Hallyday, once called "the French Elvis", came out with an album called C'est la vie that had a version of the ELP song C'est la Vie on it in French. I think I heard this on the radio before. Johnny Hallyday, was a French rock and roll and pop singer and actor, credited for having brought rock and roll to France. During a career spanning 57 years, he released 79 albums and sold more than 110 million records worldwide, mainly in the French-speaking world, making him one of the best-selling artists in the world. He had five diamond albums, 40 golden albums, 22 platinum albums and earned ten Victoires de la Musique. He sang an estimated 1,154 songs and performed 540 duets with 187 artists. More than 2,500 magazine covers and 190 books were dedicated to him during his lifetime, making him one of the people most widely covered by the media in France. His death from cancer in 2017 was followed by a "popular tribute" during which a million people attended the procession and 15 million others watched the ceremony on TV. He remained relatively unknown in the English-speaking world, where he was dubbed "the biggest rock star you've never heard of" and introduced as the French version of Elvis Presley.
Works Volume 2 is the sixth studio album by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, also released in 1977. Unlike Works Volume 1 (which consisted of three solo sides and one ensemble side), Works Volume 2 was a single album, and it was seemingly a compilation of leftover tracks from other album sessions. While many derided the album for its apparent lack of focus, others praised it for showing a different side of the band than usual, with blues, bluegrass and jazz being very prominent as musical genres in this recording. The band's logo, designed by H. R. Giger, was introduced in 1973 on Brain Salad Surgery, their fourth studio album. The album art, inside and out, was created by H. R. Giger, the Swiss artist famous for creating the Xenomorph creatures for the the Alien movies. He also created the album art for Debbie Harry's first solo album, Kookoo, from photos by her Blondie band-mate Chris Stein.

That's a nice tune. I don't recall ever hearing it before. My older brother had the Demons and Wizards LP with The Wizard and Easy Livin' on it. And The Magician's Birthday with Sunrise and Sweet Lorraine. And I remember hearing Stealin' on the radio. They still play it on SiriusXM if you tune in to the right kind of station. Those are really the only 5 songs I remember well, but I forgot about Sunrise. I was only looking at the singles they released over the years, not the other songs on the albums. This belongs on the top of the heap, not Gypsy.

When I left Rite Aid today I didn't like what SiriusXM was playing on Classic Rewind, or whatever station it was so I switched to 1st Wave and they were playing that Berlin song No More Words. It seems odd that I haven't heard it for years, then after I posted it, they played it on the radio.
On the Berlin album Pleasure Victim where it gave the band credits, it listed Vocals and BJs by Terri Nunn. On the LP where it usually has nothing but the record number pressed into the disk, Side A said Mechanically Aided Orgasms. I don't remember whose idea that was. Maybe songwriter, bassist, synth player, vocalist John Crawford's. And Side B said Bad Jokes, You Fool. That was Terri Nunn's response to her BJ album credit. Pleasure Victim is their second studio album, and the first album since the return of lead singer Terri Nunn to the group. It's their best-selling album and the band's only album to be certified platinum. The album peaked at number 30 on the Billboard 200 in May 1983. "Sex (I'm A...)" peaked at number 62 on the Billboard Hot 100, while subsequent singles "The Metro" and "Masquerade" reached numbers 58 and 82, respectively.
Love Life is their third studio album and has No More Words. Count Three & Pray is their fourth studio album and has Take My Breath Away from the 1986 film Top Gun. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, as well as the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song in 1986. They released a total of nine studio albums, two live albums, six compilation albums, two extended plays, 15 singles, three promotional singles, three video albums and 11 music videos.
Here's the whole Pleasure Victim album if anyone's interested. I haven't heard it all myself yet, but always thought Masquerade was a good song, for early '80 New Wave.
The way the song Pleasure Victim starts out reminds me a lot of something from Gary Numan (cars).

Surfing with the Alien is the second studio album by American rock guitarist Joe Satriani. It was released on October 15, 1987, by Relativity Records. The album is one of Satriani's most successful to date and helped establish his reputation as a respected rock guitarist. A "Rock God" or "Guitar God"according to many.
The album was recorded on a budget of $13,000. Satriani's equipment was limited by the budget, consisting of two Kramer Pacer guitars and an adapted Stratocaster guitar, for which he would change the pickups to get different sounds. To save money, the album heavily used drum machines, programmed by Bongo Bob Smith, with Jeff Campitelli recording overdubs of hi-hats, cymbals, toms and snares. Satriani stated this gave the music an "awkward charm", and maintained the combination of loose guitar playing and machine-like drum programming. "Satch Boogie" is the only song to fully feature live drums, played by Campitelli. The song was originally recorded to a drum machine pattern, and the quick fade-out disguised the sound of the drum machine being picked up by the amplifier at the end. The heavy metal-influenced "Crushing Day" contains the only solo on the album that was worked out beforehand, due to its length; the others are improvised. Satriani expressed regret for this decision later, as he felt constrained when having to play the song on stage. A Casio CZ-101 was used to record the flute and orchestral instruments on "Midnight".
It contains fast and complex songs such as the title track and "Satch Boogie", which helped to further popularize shred guitar during that time. By contrast slower, melodic songs such as "Always with Me, Always with You" and "Echo" provide a change of pace. "Midnight" utilizes the technique of two-handed tapping at high tempo, evoking a Spanish fingerstyle effect. "Ice 9" references the fictional apocalyptic substance from Kurt Vonnegut's 1963 novel Cat's Cradle.
The cover art of the original release depicts the Marvel Comics character Silver Surfer on the front, with the hand of Galactus on the back cover. The artwork, which was licensed from the publisher, is taken from a panel from Silver Surfer #1 (1982), drawn by John Byrne. Byrne did not receive a royalty for the art's use on the album cover. Satriani was unfamiliar with the Silver Surfer and had named the album and title track without the character in mind. However, Jim Kozlowski, the production manager for Relativity Records, was a comic book fan and had used the nickname "The Silver Surfer" as a radio DJ name. He suggested using the character for the album cover. Kozlowski presented the album to Marvel and obtained permission to use the character. Subsequently, Marvel Comics has paid homage to Satriani in Silver Surfer comics ("the planet Satriani") and Satriani has named later compositions after other elements of the Silver Surfer mythos ("Back to Shalla-Bal", "The Power Cosmic 2000").
The original license to use the character artwork was time-limited. Though the license was renewed multiple times, in 2018, Satriani and Marvel could not come to terms on a price, and so the cover art was replaced. As of 2018, digital retailers such as iTunes and Spotify display an alternative artwork that does not feature the Silver Surfer. In 2019 a limited deluxe edition of the album was released featuring a silver guitar headstock in place of the Silver Surfer. The background and font of this new artwork is very similar to the original with minor differences.

I really like this song. Dolly Parton RARELY gets political but evidently, she too is fed up with the current situation. The name of the song is "World on Fire".

I think it's good for entertainers to generally stay out of the political fight. But if the wheels are coming off the thing (and it appears they are) then there are things you need to stand for...even though she doesn't voice the opinions loudly the are opinions of hers.

"Weird Al" Yankovic announced the 76-date North American The Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour in 2017. It was intended to be a more intimate and less stylized production compared to his previous concert tours, and focused on Yankovic's older material and original songs. The Vanity Tour included 68 shows in the United States and 8 shows in Canada in 2018. It was 77 shows, but the math doesn't add up right for me. Every night Al performed a cover of a song he liked as an encore. Presented here are all of the covers he performed, and nothing else. It's over 4 hours long. I've been listening for 3 hours so far and I'm not tired of it. There's everything in the mix from classic rock to punk, to oldies, alternative and more. Weird Al's band can play anything, and his singing is surprisingly good (sometimes).

I must be close to a week since I woke up thinking about Joe Jackson's Blaze of Glory. He went out in a blaze of glory... I went back to sleep and the next time I woke up I was thinking of it again. And repeat. I woke up at least 3 times that day thinking about it before I stayed out of bed. The next few days I was thinking of it again, but I didn't listen to it until now. The album had 3 singles, the title track, Nineteen Forever, and Down to London.

After I posted all those Joe Jackson videos the other day and listened to the whole album, I listened to Joe Jackson's Jumpin' Jive album all the way through too. Here's what Wikipedia says about it. Joe Jackson's Jumpin' Jive is the fourth studio album by Joe Jackson. Released in 1981, it is a collection of covers of classic 1940s swing and jump blues songs originally performed by musicians such as Louis Jordan and Cab Calloway, the latter of whose song "Jumpin' Jive" was the eponym for this album. The album and single were credited to Joe Jackson's Jumpin' Jive. Jackson's foray through jump blues anticipated the so-called "retro-swing revival" (Squirrel Nut Zippers, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Brian Setzer Orchestra) by a full fifteen years. A remastered edition was released in late 1998.
It hit 42 on the US Billboard 200 and much better elsewhere, 12 on New Zealand Albums (RMNZ), 14 on UK Albums (OCC), and 29 in Australia (Kent Music Report). I haven't listened to all of the original songs yet, just some of them. I had the CD but my ex took it. Her mother liked it too and I don't know who has it now.

I posted Joe Jackson's Big World before, and wanted to play it for a friend when I was up north last weekend to show that not all bands suck live, but my CD is messed up. Big World is a 1986 live album of original songs by Joe Jackson. The album was recorded in front of an invited audience at the Roundabout Theatre, East 17th Street in New York City on 23, 24 and 25 January 1986 (except "Man in the Street", recorded during rehearsals on 22 January). The songs are loosely linked by lyrics covering a general theme of post-World War II international relations and global travel.
Jackson's intent for the recording was to capture the intensity and spontaneity of a live performance, but without the distraction of noise from the crowd. He requested that the audience remain silent while the performances of his band were recorded.
Unlike most other pop music recordings, which use multitrack recording techniques, no post-recording mixing or overdubbing was performed on the album. The music was mixed live from microphones on each musical instrument, then sent directly to a two track stereo digital tape recorder.
Regarding the album, Joe says: ‘I want to clear up two myths about this record which still crop up all the time. Myth 1: During the live recording of the album, the audience was forbidden to applaud. Fact: There was plenty of applause. We were just playing a lot of unfamiliar material, and recording it for an album, so the audience were asked to hold it until they were sure a song was finished. They understood this and there was no problem. Myth 2: It’s a double album with a side missing. Fact: This was my first album to be released on CD, where the running time was not an issue. I was having a hard time deciding what to leave out for the LP, though, and I suggested making a 3-sided one, and selling it for the price of a regular album. Much to my surprise, the record company said yes. So rather than a side missing, you got an extra side. Critics, of course, hadn’t had to pay for it.’
The LP release was a double album, but only three sides had music. The fourth side label stated "there is no music on this side", and the record had a groove that quickly led to the inner to prevent stylus damage. The CD release contained the same 15 tracks on one disc.
The front cover of the album (work by Serge Clerc) features the phrase "Big World" in French, Persian, Mandarin Chinese, Greek, Dutch, Korean, Thai, Russian, Irish Gaelic, Armenian, Hindi, English, Hebrew, Indonesian, Arabic, and Polish. The back cover features the same phrase in Vietnamese, Swedish, Swiss German, Turkish, Spanish, Swahili, Italian, Danish, Finnish, Welsh, and Hungarian.
The album included an eight-page booklet which included the lyrics to all fifteen songs and recording information in English, German, Japanese, French, Italian and Spanish.
The original South African LP release featured all 15 songs on one disc. Don't ask me how they fit 3 album sides on one LP.
Artist Serge Clerc is a French comic book artist and illustrator. He began his professional career in 1975 in the monthly magazine Métal Hurlant, after having created his own fanzine, Absolutely Live. Métal hurlant, literal translation: "Howling Metal," is a French comics anthology of science fiction and horror comics stories. Content from Metal Hurlant was republished in English in the United States by National Lampoon under the title Heavy Metal.
The enclosed images are from my CD liner notes. The 5 singles from the album were Right and Wrong, Home Town, The Jet Set, Tango Atlantico, and Wild West. Right and Wrong and Home Town were the best of them IMO. While not his best music it's still probably one of the most technically perfect live albums ever recorded. What you hear is what the audience heard.

The cardiologist's hold music reminded me a little of Black Gold by Soul Asylum, so I had to go to YouTube and listen to it. That's easier by far than getting my CD out from across the room. I can't even get to it. I don't know what's more surprising: A. I haven't watched the video before. B. I have, but don't remember one of the guys wearing pince-nez eyeglasses, or C. I actually spelled pince-nez correctly (except I didn't hyphenate it, I spelled it pince nez).

I was listening to Ozzy's Boneyard (featuring a classic rock/hard rock format) on Sirius XM Radio channel 38 today while I was cruising down the highway. I heard a song I didn't know called Blitzkrieg, by a band named Blitzkrieg. It was from their 1985 debut studio album A Time of Changes. They previously released it as the B-side of their debut single, Creeping Death in 1980. The band broke up after one single, and reformed 5 years later. The way the song starts out reminds me of Hocus Pocus, by the Dutch rock band Focus, from their second studio album Focus II (better known by its international title, Moving Waves) 1971.
Creeping Death by Metallica was released as a 1984 single with a B-side titled Garage Days Revisited made up of covers of the earlier version of Blitzkrieg, and Am I Evil by Diamond Head. I've heard the Metallica version of Am I Evil several times, but not the original from Diamond Head's 1980 debut album, Lightning to the Nations. So, here are the 1980 and 1985 versions of Blitzkrieg, Metallica's 1984 version, Hocus Pocus, by Focus, and Am I Evil by Diamond Head and Metallica. by the way, when Metallica comes the radio, I always change the channel. They're severely overplayed, overrated plagiarists with too many songs that sound alike.

Mercury Blues, originally titled Mercury Boogie, is a song written by rural blues musician K. C. Douglas and Robert Geddins. It was first recorded by Douglas in 1948 and released in 1949. It was covered in the '70s, 80s, and 90s, and went downhill each time after the first cover. It was on rock musician Steve Miller's ninth studio album, 1976's rock classic Fly Like an Eagle, rock musician David Lindley's 1981 album, El Rayo-X, and on country musician Alan Jackson's 1993, A Lot About Livin' (And a Little 'bout Love), which was used in a 1996 Ford truck commercial. I hate the last version so much I won't listen to it, so don't blame me if the video doesn't work. My suggestion? Listen to the first 2 or 3.

When I was at one of my doctor's offices last week, the radio was on in the waiting room as it usually is. But it wasn't on the usual adult contemporary, easy listening, pop, urban, all things to everyone, station that it's normally on, Cars 108. By the way, why is "easy listening" so hard to listen to? After hearing part of a really crappy hip-hop style song they played a station identifier, then another crappy hip-hop style song. Then the played the station identifier again, for Your Hit Country B95, and started playing another song that sounded like a metal or hard rock group trying to play country music. I already knew that a lot of so-called country music sounded like pop or rock music, but not as good. But now there are apparently some country music "artists" trying to imitate rap and hip-hop too. Country music has REALLY lost its way. I think most people who say they like country music like "new country" which to me mostly sounds like a bunch of failed rock bands. If you can't make it as a rock band, add a slide guitar and sing with a fake "country" twang and you've got it made. That's not just my opinion, by the way.

The station WFBE signed on the air 70 years ago, on October 5, 1953. It was owned by the Flint Board of Education, and the studios were in the basement of Flint Central High School when I went there. It was a non-commercial, public radio station which also offered educational programs. The W signifies it's east of the Mississippi, and the rest of the call sign WFBE meant Flint Board of Education. In 1997, The Flint Board of Education was in a serious budget shortfall. It could no longer afford to maintain the station and the board members decided the schools could use the money from a sale. The rest is history. A sad, sad history of Flint's radio stations all switching to music I hate. Long gone are the days of AOR, Album Oriented Rock, where the DJs would play a whole album side of something really good. Now it's mostly country, hip hop, adult contemporary, news, sports, pop and other bullshit, with a few rock stations in the surrounding area if your antenna is good enough to pick them up. When you were too far away to get an FM signal, you used to be able to pick up AM rock stations for a maybe 200 miles when the signals skipped at night. Now there aren't any AFAIK.

One variety of psychedelic colored corn at https://www.rareseeds.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=corn was called Astronomy Domine. I recognized that as being the name of either a song or album but couldn't remember which it was. It was an old Pink Floyd song written and composed by the original vocalist/guitarist/writer Syd Barrett. It's the opening track on their debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, from 1967. It's been awhile since I played that CD. It's also the the opening track on Ummagumma, their fourth album, where it's twice as long. Ummagumma is a double album, released in 1969. The first disc consists of live recordings from concerts at Mothers Club in Birmingham and the College of Commerce in Manchester that contained part of their normal set list of the time, while the second contains solo compositions by each member of the band recorded at EMI Studios (now Abbey Road Studios). Syd Barrett wasn't in the band anymore by then. He and David Gilmour were both on A Saucerful of Secrets, the second studio album, in 1968. But, Syd Barrett wasn't on the third studio album, the soundtrack for the movie MORE, in 1969. He couldn't handle making an album a year, and the heavy use of psychedelic drugs such as LSD. They kicked him out of the band that HE started, and wrote most the music and lyrics for. Second guitarist David Gilmour took over as lead guitarist, and bass player Roger Waters became the lead vocalist. It took both of them to replace Syd. Astronomy Domine is also the second song on Pulse (stylised P·U·L·S·E), their third live album, released in 1995. The album was recorded during the European leg of the Division Bell Tour in 1994. It's back to it's original length again, instead of being twice as long. Here are all 3 album versions of Astronomy Domine by Pink Floyd. Oh, by the way, which one's Pink?

And the jolly green giant, Peter Steele of Type O Negative playing an upright bass like it's a bass guitar. He was a 6'8" giant, and a bodybuilder, so he could do that. Mute the audio if you don't like the music, and you probably won't, but check this out. He normally played a regular bass of one type or another, sometimes modified by cutting huge holes in them or in other ways, and sometimes a Frankenstein amalgamation of parts from 2 or more basses. Sometimes he used a regular guitar strap on it, but most of the time used a steel chain. He had amps and speakers with added tweeters on stage pointing right at him, so they would vibrate the strings and cause feedback. All of Type O Negative's albums while he was still alive were a particular shade of green. He was a perfectionist and looked at hundred of pictures until he found the one he wanted. The Special Edition cover of the last album was red but otherwise looked the same. During his stay in jail at Rikers Island, he found out it's not the place you want to be if you're a white guy with long hair and fangs. ;D He got off the drug and alcohol, and was writing songs for a new album, then died. What's the use of getting clean and sober if you're just going to die unexpectedly?

I've been doing color by number pictures on my cell phone, and when I clicked on one to continue it, it was an Aquaman movie character. Something clicked in my brain and I heard a line of Jethro Tull's song Aqualung playing, but it they sang Aquaman to the same music, instead of Aqualung with one more word altered in the lyrics.
Aquaman my friend
don't you swim away uneasy
You poor old sod,
you see it's only me
Before I had a chance to post about it my computer quit working, so I had to shut it down and run System Repair on startup. While that was running I saw the TandemKross pouch with tools in it to make assembling Ruger 10/22 rotary mags easier. Then I heard the music for Southern Cross by Crosby, Still and Nash in my mind, and thought, "When you see the TandemKross for the first time." Then I thought stop, just stop it, this is getting ridiculous. I don't know what my problem is, but I know I have one. And listening to CSN made me feel better.

BTW, the Aqua-Lung was the first open-circuit, self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (or "SCUBA") to achieve worldwide popularity and commercial success. The Aqua-Lung was invented in France during the winter of 1942–1943 by two Frenchmen: engineer Émile Gagnan and Jacques Cousteau, who was a Naval Lieutenant. Yes, that Jacques Cousteau. It allowed "I will now send my son Philippe into the shark infested waters" Cousteau, and "screw France, I'm emigrating to Montreal, Quebec" Gagnan, to film and explore underwater more easily.

I got done watching the movie Iron Man 3 and was searching IMBb to see what other Iron Man movies and cartoons are out there I may be able to watch for free. That's when I came across Sir Mix-A-Lot and his version of the Black Sabbath song Iron Man. He recorded it with American heavy metal band Metal Church, and released it on his 1st album, SWASS. He was more famous for Baby Got back off his 3rd album in 1992, but this was 3 years earlier. Baby Got Black... Sabbath. I never heard it before but it's worth listening to once, maybe. The opening drum track is obviously a sample of We Will Rock You by Queen. Metal Church was one of the 5 bands I saw at an Operation Rock & Roll concert. Operation Rock & Roll was a 1991 concert tour featuring Judas Priest, Alice Cooper, Motörhead, Dangerous Toys and Metal Church. It ran from 9 July 1991 until 19 August 1991 in the United States and Canada. This tour was in honor of the US forces involved in Operation Desert Storm during the Gulf War. This would also be Judas Priest's final tour with Rob Halford until 2004.
Not worth listening to is Busta Rhymes - Iron Man (This Means War), with Ozzy Osbourne, from Nativity in Black II. Just skip it. The first Black Sabbath tribute album, Nativity in Black, was good except for when the lead singer of Faith No More forgot the lyrics to Iron Man and started singing nyah, nyah, blah, blah, yah, yah, or something like that. The second Black Sabbath tribute album, Nativity in Black II, wasn't as good as the first one, but didn't really suck except for this song. I always thought Busta Rhymes was a stupid name, but if I was a black man named Trevor Jr., I'd go by an alias too. :) He uses the word niggas twice in the first 2 lines of the first verse, and toward the end or the 2nd verse says niggas in 3 out of 4 lines. If you think he doesn't say niggas again in the 3rd and final verse, guess again. To me, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, isn't music. It's poor writing and lack of talent, but some niggas will disagree. ;)

Here's a link to the entire Nativity in Black album, plus a European bonus track and 2 Japanese version bonus tracks I never heard before, by a doom metal band I never heard of from Coventry, England called Cathedral. And here are 11 of 12 songs from Nativity in Black II, plus the missing song, N.I.B. by Primus (with Ozzy Osbourne).
Wikipedia - "N.I.B." is a song released by English heavy metal band Black Sabbath. It first appeared as the fourth track on the band's 1970 debut album, Black Sabbath. The lyrics are in the first person from the point of view of Lucifer. Bassist Geezer Butler, who composed the song's lyrics, has said that "the song was about the devil falling in love and totally changing, becoming a good person."
The song's title has long been a source of speculation, with some fans over the years interpreting the title as meaning "Nativity in Black" or "Name in Blood". In the early 1990s, Geezer Butler claimed that the title was a reference to drummer Bill Ward's beard at that time, which his bandmates felt looked like a pen nib. According to Butler, "Originally (the title) was Nib, which was Bill's beard. When I wrote N.I.B., I couldn't think of a title for the song, so I just called it Nib, after Bill's beard. To make it more intriguing I put punctuation marks in there to make it N.I.B. By the time it got to America, they translated it to 'Nativity in Black'."
Though "Nativity in Black" is a disputed title, it was later used for a pair of Black Sabbath tribute albums released in 1994 and 2000 respectively.
Ugly Kid Joe recorded their cover of "N.I.B." for the Nativity in Black tribute album, followed by Ozzy Osbourne and Primus on Nativity in Black II; the latter cover peaked at No. 2 on Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in October 2000. This version also appears in Osbourne's 2005 boxed set Prince of Darkness. Storm Large also covered it for her 2014 album Le Bonheur. I thought they said his head looked like a nib, not his beard, but it was a long time ago when I heard them say it.

P.S. I don't know why it doesn't show the whole playlists when you click the YouTube link on the last 2 videos, but if you search for Nativity in Black and Nativity in Black II you'll find them.

There was a Nativity in Black III album too.

Hours earlier I lit a Candle-lite Company Jar Candle in the bathroom. The scent is called Moonlit Starry Night, and as soon as I read that, in my mind's ear I heard Don McLean singing, "Starry, starry night. Paint your palette blue and grey..." So here's his song Vincent, about Vincent Van Gogh. And some more songs from American Pie you probably haven't heard if you you don't have the album. These are half of the songs on the album. The rest are also worth listening to.

On American Pie, a guy named Mike Mainieri plays the marimba and vibraphone. If you want to know the difference between the two instruments, this guy will show you. A lithophone is similar except it has stones you hit to make music. There's a cave somewhere that's rigged up with solenoids like doorbell chimes to play on stalactites music too. I can't remember where, but I may have posted it before. That's the biggest musical instrument I know of, it's a giant lithophone.

I don't know if I posted any of this before, but Austrian singer Falco released the German-language song Der Kommissar as a single in December 1981, and it was on his first album in 1982. Then British rock band After the Fire (or ATF) had a cover version of Der Kommissar, as an English translation on their album Der Kommissar. Then in 1985, Roger Daltrey of The Who had a song called After the Fire on his solo album Under a Raging Moon. It was written by Pete Townshend, also of The Who. I always wondered if this English band who wrote a song with the same name as another English band had any reason for doing so. Keith Moon was also a member of The Who until he died of a drug overdose in 1978 at age 32. He had a habit of kicking over his drums and destroying things. You could call him a raging Moon. Or maybe a lunatic.
I just found out Falco's album Out of the Dark, and the single form it, Out of the Dark, were released after he died in 1998 at age 40.

In the 1993 American science fiction action film Demolition Man, starring Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, Sandra Bullock, and Nigel Hawthorne, the title theme is a remix of the song originally recorded by Grace Jones and written by Sting during his time as frontman for The Police. It was on Nightclubbing, the fifth studio album by Jamaican singer and songwriter Grace Jones, released in 1981. Soon after Jones released her version as a single, the Police recorded their own version for their 1981 album, Ghost in the Machine. Then Manfred Mann's Earth Band, an English rock band formed by South African musician Manfred Mann had their version on Somewhere in Afrika, their eleventh album released in 1982. Then there was a Demolition Man EP released in 1993, featuring Sting's re-recording of The Police track Demolition Man. Four versions of the same song by 4 individuals/groups, over a period 12 years, but 3 of them were in 2 years, way before the movie of the same name. That's kind of crazy, and pretty much unheard of for any other song. I like Manfred Mann's Earth Band's version of it the best by far. I may be biased since I listened to the Somewhere in Afrika cassette tape so many times, but it just sounds a lot better to me. I decided to only post the songs and not the videos but at least 3 of them have videos. The Grace Jones video is comical.
