Song of the day.........Bob Dylan with "Knockin' On Heaven's Door"

Today's song of the day is from the one and only Bob Dylan. Back in 1995 Dylan played on MTV's Unplugged. Today's song of the day features a video of Dylan playing his classic "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" from that MTV performance. Enjoy, and have a great Sunday.

Song of the day........Idlewild with "Little Discourage"

I saw Idlewild open for Pearl Jam for 3 dates on the 2003 tour. This band is amazing. They have been on a leave for quite a while, but I'm hoping for a tour in the states again. All of their albums are just amazing. This track is off of their 2000 album "100 Broken Windows." Such a great track.

Song of the day........ Tanya Donelly with "Shoplifters of the World Unite"

Today's song of the day is from Tanya Donelly, the former lead singer/guitarist for the indie band Belly. I've always really liked Tanya's solo stuff. This song is a cover of one of my favorite Smiths songs, "Shoplifters of the World Unite," and is taken from a Smiths tribute album titled "Please, Please, Please." A very mellow version of the original, but really good.

Song of the day..........The Strokes with "Soma"

The Strokes are one of those bands for me that have this very interesting sound. You can really tell the influences of '50's and '60's rock sounds, but they have a modern day edge. "Soma" is a song that really sounds like it could have been a part of the British Invasion, or a band that opened for The Doors. Good stuff!

Song of the day........Everclear "I Will Buy You A New Life"

I remember liking this song back in the day........ After hearing it over and over again I grew rather bored with it. Where are these guys now?

Song of the day..........Screaming Trees with "Black Rose Way"

One of the most underrated, and unappreciated bands from the grunge era was Screaming Trees. They just never caught on. Mark Lanegans vocals remind me of so many of those vocalists from the '70's rock era. The music is pretty straight ahead rock and I think was very comparable to some of the early Pearl Jam material. In 2011 the Screaming Trees released the album "Last Words: The Final Recordings." The album included material that had been recorded in '98-99', but had never been released. One of the gems on that album is the song of the day, "Black Rose Way."

Song of the day...........Def Leppard with "Photograph"

I've always really liked this song. Especially the chorus riff. Who really dislikes Def Leppard anyways? I think everyone's got a favorite Def Leppard song. It's hard to believe that this one came out when I was 10 years old.
