Song of the day...........Machine Head with "Bulldozer"

I know lots of folks like these guys, and I think the music is really good, but the vocals are hard for me......I really can't understand what is being said, and I have a hard time with that. See what you think after listening to "Bulldozer," today's song of the day.......

Song of the day.......AC/DC with "Can't Stop Rock 'N' Roll"

Every album that AC/DC releases proves one thing. These guys still have it. These guys are the masters of the power chords..... "Can't Stop Rock 'N' Roll" is off of 2000's Stiff Upper Lip album, and is just AC/DC at its best. So, eat up some Turkey, Green Bean Casserole, and crank up this AC/DC track!!!

Song of the day..........Goo Goo Dolls with "Black Balloon"

This is one of my favorite Goo Goo Dolls songs. From the opening notes of the keyboards, which just create this eerie backdrop for the whole song, to the powerful chorus and bridge, this song is just beautiful. Some bands have this knack of just creating powerful hooks, and riffs that stick with you. Goo Goo Dolls have always had that. Listen to any album and you will find hooky rock music.

Song of the day.........Persephone's Bees with "Way To Your Heart"

One of the best songs that you've never heard before..... I love the guitar riffs in this piece. Just so good. When I first heard this and heard that riff in the first verse I was hooked. Great song!!! Check it out!!!

Song of the day............"Don't Get Me Wrong" by The Pretenders

The headlining act at the very first concert that I ever attended was The Pretenders. I wasn't a huge fan of their music at the time to be honest, but over the years I have developed a respect for what they did musically. Their catalog has so many great hits in it. One of them is this great tune. I really love the ending kind of climax to the song where the distorted guitar kicks in and plays that riff to close out the song. Really puts an exclamation point on it. Check out "Don't Get Me Wrong."

Song of the day.........Stabbing Westward with "I Don't Believe"

Today's song of the day is from this band Stabbing Westward. I remember having this album Wither Blister Burn & Peel on cassette in High School. I think I wore the thing out. This album has so many great tracks on it. It was similar to the grunge music that I was listening to at the time, but it also had some similarities to some of the stuff that Nine Inch Nails was doing at the time. I think that's why I really liked this album. This is the opening track off of that album. This remains one of my favorite albums of all time.
