Song of the day......Boyz II Men with "Water Runs Dry"

Today's song of the day is from one of the biggest Pop/R&B acts of the '90's. There are other Boyz II Men songs that I prefer over this one, but it's still a really good song. These guys vocally are so good. They could play with out the music accompaniment and it would be just as good. Their songs are vocally just so good. So, check out Boyz II Men with "Water Runs Dry."

Song of the day...........Sum 41 with "Still Waiting"

Today's song of the day comes to us from Sum 41. I believe that this was the first track that got Sum 41 significant air play on the radio. It's just a great song. It has this punk rock thing going on, and it's just catchy and full of angst. The bridge part is my favorite part of this track. It just creates such a great break in the song, and those guitar parts at the bridge are just great. Check out Sum 41's "Still Waiting."

Song of the day......Rage Against the Machine with "Wake Up"

What more can you say about Rage? Just a great band, and Tom Morello is an absolute genius. He is one of my favorite guitar players of all time simply because he can make his guitar sound like so many things, and when I first listened to their self titled album I thought they had overdubbed some synth, but it turns out it was Morello's guitar. Just a great band.......Check out "Wake Up."

Song of the day...........Pantera with "The Sleep"

I think it's pretty safe to say that I'm more of a fan of some of Pantera's mellow material then some of the edgy heavy stuff. One of my favorite mellower songs from Pantera is this track "The Sleep" off of the Cowboys From Hell album. A friend of a friend had this album in High School, and I remember really liking it, although it was heavier than some of the grunge music that I was into at the time. "The Sleep" has some really cool things going on in it. Some really great guitar parts. So, check out "The Sleep."

Song of the day.......Boyz II Men with "Please Don't Go"

In the late '80's and early '90's I was listening to a lot of R&B, Pop, and starting to listen to some Rock stuff. One of my favorites in the R&B, and Pop scene was Boyz II Men. They were just so darn good. All of these great vocals with a whole lot of soul, and their songs were so catchy. I still dig a lot of their stuff today.....So, check out this track "Please Don't Go." I don't remember it being one of their big hits when it came out, but it is really a good track.

Song of the day...........The Pretenders with "Middle of the Road"

The first concert that I attended was a concert where the headliner was The Pretenders. This was back in the early '90's and they put on an amazing show. One of my favorite tracks by them is "Middle of the Road." I just love the chorus of this track. Those three chords that drive each line of it just make the song for me. That and the ending piece with the harmonica. Just a great track by Chrissie Hynde and company.

Song of the day.......The Out Crowd with "Be Good"

Today's song of the day comes to us from this band called The Out Crowd. Matt Hollywood is the lead guitarist and singer for the group, and Matt used to be in another group that I am really fond of, The Brian Jonestown Massacre. They were featured in the film "Dig" that is one of the best Rock & Roll documentaries of all time in my opinion. Just great!! Anyways, this band The Out Crowd is really good. I was able to see them live a few years back when they opened up for the Dandy Warhols. They put on a great show, and then Matt was out in the crowd watching the Dandy's and standing next to my friends and I. Would have loved to say "hi," but I didn't want to be that guy. A great band though, and this is one of the gems on their "Then I Saw The Holy City" album. Check out "Be Good."
