Song of the day........V.A.S.T. with "Everything Passing By"

One of the most talented songwriters of the past two decades is this guy Jon Crosby. I remember listening to VAST's debut album for the first time and just being amazed at it. It was like nothing I had ever heard before. They were these amazing heavy rock songs that were also incorporating these beautiful samples of chants of monks. Just beautiful and amazing.....every track. Today's song of the day is from his album April, and it is this track "Everything Passing By." It's just a beautiful track, and the strings on this are just beyond beautiful. If you haven't heard anything by V.A.S.T. before then go out and get an album. They are all amazing, and there is not a bad track on any of them. So, check out "Everything Passing By."

Song of the day.......Snapcase with "Harrison Bergeron"

This is one of those examples of a song that I enjoy bits and pieces of, but as a whole it's just not something that I'm totally into. There are some cool moments in this song....but I think as I get older, my enjoyment of yelling in music has lessened.

Song of the day..........Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch with "Good Vibrations"

Ok, so back in the early '90's I was a big fan of what I guess would be categorized as "Hard Rock." I was listening to Guns 'N' Roses, Metallica, and the like.....and really didn't pay too much attention to the Pop music scene. Then I saw the video for this Marky Mark song "Good Vibrations." It kind of changed the way that I looked at Pop music. At that moment it actually seemed pretty cool to me. I have to admit I was, and maybe still am, a fan of this song. Of course now Mark Wahlberg has gone on to become an amazing actor, but I will always remember my first interest in Pop music coming from this track.......Check out "Good Vibrations."

Song of the day.............Will.i.am with "Gettin' Dumb"

If you are looking for good music to have on the iPod while you are at the gym then this album doesn't disappoint. Those who know me know that I am a Rock guy, but there are songs that I listen to from the Pop/Dance/Hip Hop genres that I think are pretty good. I've heard a few tracks off of this #WILLPOWER album, and I like what I've heard. Check out this track "Gettin' Dumb."

Song of the day.........Drain STH with "Crave"

How about some metal from Stockholm Sweden for your Sunday? This is my favorite metal band to come out of the '90's. Are there a lot of metal bands that have vocal harmonies? I think it's a pretty small number. They released two great albums in the late '90's including this album "Freaks of Nature," which features today's song of the day, "Crave." I discovered this band at a hard rock radio stations annual birthday celebration, and was very impressed with this band. So, check out "Crave."

Song of the day......The Suicide Machines with "Sometimes I Don't Mind"

I remember seeing these guys back in the mid '90's at Red Rocks. I believe they opened for No Doubt and Weezer if I'm not mistaken. I could be wrong with that though...... Great band. I really dig their sound, and this self titled album has some great stuff on it. Including this track "Sometimes I Don't Mind." I just really like this track. Great guitar parts. Love the solo.....and the harmonizing vocals throughout. So, check out this track from their self titled album......

Song of the day..............Tonic with "If You Could Only See"

Today's song of the day is from the band Tonic, and their 1996 debut album "Lemon Parade." Great band name by the way..... I remember buying this album after I heard this song. That guitar part is just so infectious. The track just has a great sound. It was, and still is one of my favorites from the mid '90's. Check out Tonic with "If You Could Only See."
