Song of the day.......Train with "Drive By"

Ok. I must admit. So far I have not been very impressed by this new album by Train. Very cliche lyrics, and bubble gum pop melodies that I'm frankly not into. This song is catchy though, and if you ignore the lyrics then it isn't too bad.

Note to Train......Get back to the music and lyrics that made your first two albums amazing. That's what your good at. Stop this bubble gum nonsense. Thank you, your friend Jimmy B.

Song of the day........Van Halen with "I'll Wait"

This is one of my favorites from Van Halen from the 1984 album. I love how prominent the synth is in this track and how it complements Eddie's guitar perfectly. Not a huge fan of the David Lee Roth years. I preferred the Hagar years, but this song just stands out. I need to see if I have this on my iPod today.........

Song of the day.......Paul McCartney with "Got To Get You Into My Life"

The song of the day today is Sir Paul McCartney performing the classic Beatles track "Got To Get You Into My Life." When I was first exposed to the Beatles growing up this was the song that really stuck with me. The horn section at the chorus just gives this song such a great hook.

Song of the day.........Radiohead with "Optimistic"

This is one of my favorite Radiohead songs. Just love how the songs builds. I'm not as fond of their more recent stuff, but this one is just great.

Song of the day.......Garth Brooks with "The Thunder Rolls"

This has always been one of my favorite country songs. I guess I love minor chords. The song just has a creepy, dark feel to it. Really good.
