Song of the day.........Alanis Morissette with "You Learn"

Today's song of the day is from Alanis Morissette from the album that made her a household name in the early '90's. To this day it's the song that I remember most from this album. It was an album that had hit after hit on it, but this one has always stood out to me. I love the bridge from this song. The vocal thing that Alanis is doing just goes so well with the little riff that the guitarist is playing. I love that part in this song. So, for your Monday, it's one of my faves from Alanis.

Song of the day...........The Vines with "Ride"

Happy Easter everyone!!! Today's song of the day comes to us from The Vines. I like a couple of their songs. Other than that I really haven't listened to much of their material. I do like this song though. I think it was in a commercial a few years back, although I can't remember the product that was being pitched. The song has a nice feel to it though. Give it a listen, and let me know if you can remember the product from the commercial, because I certainly cannot. Maybe it was a car commercial or something.....

Song of the day...........Goo Goo Dolls with "Iris"

Honestly one of the best live bands that I have seen over the years has been the Goo Goo Dolls. They just put on a great show with lots of energy. After the success of "A Boy Named Goo," the Goo Goo Dolls released a single for the "City of Angels" soundtrack called "Iris." The song is arguably one of their biggest singles, and further propelled the Goo Goo Dolls to become one of the most popular bands of the '90's. The song later appeared on their sixth studio album "Dizzy Up The Girl."

The Goo Goo Dolls, much like Soul Asylum, were not an overnight success. In fact the Goo Goo Dolls originally formed in 1986, and actually featured bass player Robby Takac on lead vocals, and were more of a punk rock band than a rock/pop band.

Anyways, enjoy one of their biggest hits as the song of the day today.........

Song of the day.......Pearl Jam with "Breath"

Today's song of the day is one of my faves from my favorite band Pearl Jam. To me no single band captures the emotional triumphs and struggles of life quite like Pearl Jam. Their album "Ten" was one of my first CD purchases way back in middle school, and I couldn't stop listening to it. Throughout the years their music has gone through quite a lot of changes, but one thing remains the same. The band continues to churn out tunes that are honest, emotionally powerful, and absolutely amazing. I like their most recent album "Backspacer" as much as I like their debut album. They are the most powerful, and emotionally charged live act that I have ever seen. Today's song is not one of PJ's big radio hits, but rather was a song that appeared on the soundtrack to the Matt Dillon, Kyra Sedgwick, and Bridget Fonda movie "Singles," which featured a soundtrack of mostly Seattle bands, and grunge music. For me it's one of their best songs, and you may have never heard it before........ So, give it a listen and have a great Friday.

Song of the day.........The Ramones with "Chinese Rock"

How about some Ramones for your Thursday? Today's song of the day comes to us from that iconic rock band the Ramones. I've always really liked the Ramones, and their music style. The recipes for most of their songs are the same. Power chords, a fast moving beat, and a guitar solo thrown in their very sparingly. That recipe has produced some of the best rock songs of the last three decades....... This song did not get a whole lot of coverage when it came out on the Ramones 1980 album "End of the Century." It's a great track though, and I'm sure you will be humming it at some point today if you give it a listen.

Song of the day........Justin Roberts with "More Than Just A Minute"

Children's music artists are a lot better now than I remember from when I was growing up. A prime example of that is Justin Roberts, who my family has seen a couple of times. His music is so well done that it appeals to kids and parents alike. His songs are catchy too. If you hear it once I guarantee you will be humming a Justin Roberts song at some point later in the day. Today's song of the day is Justin Roberts song "More Than Just a Minute." Give it a listen. It's good quality children's music.....

Song of the day.........The Amazing Royal Crowns with "King of the Joint"

I can only understand every other word that he is saying, but "King of the Joint" is a great song to get you motivated. How can you not want to go run around the block after hearing this? I should have listened to this before I went to the gym today. Probably would have ran a mile in half the usual time. Anyways, check out the Amazing Royal Crowns with "King of the Joint."
