Song of the day............"What Went Wrong (In Your Head)"

Today's song of the day is from Supergrass' 2000 self titled album. I love the rock piano in this. I'm a sucker for a rock piano.......These guys have been making great music for quite a while, and have always been kind of under the radar. They are worth checking out.

Song of the day.........U2 with "New Year's Day"

My timing is a little off on this one, but I still got it posted in January. This one if my favorite track off of the "War" album. A great album, but this song really stands out. I don't think you can go wrong with a piano in a rock track. The piano part is so beautiful in this track. Just a great song by the guys in U2.

Song of the day.........Van Halen with "Jamie's Cryin'"

What says Friday better than a David Lee Roth era Van Halen song? I don't think there would be a better Friday song choice. Today's song of the day is an early Van Halen song called "Jamie's Cryin'." Now I've mentioned before that I am more of a Hagar Van Halen fan than the Roth years. If I want to back that up though I guess I should come up with some Hagar era Van Halen songs to pick as song of the day. Don't get me wrong though there are some great Roth Van Halen songs including this one. Happy Friday!!

Song of the day.........Godsmack with "I Stand Alone"

Now it's being used to sell cars in commercials, but ten or so years ago it was on the radio all of the freaking time. It's kind of catchy......

Song of the day.........3 Doors Down with "Not Enough"

Today's song of the day is from 3 Doors Down off of their album "The Better Life." I love the guitar tone on the verses......and then that heavy riff at the chorus. I've always liked their music. A great song for a Friday!! Have a great weekend!!

Song of the day.......Glen Phillips with "Cleareyed"

If there is one album that you cannot go without it is "Winter Pays for Summer" by Glen Phillips. It is the most complete album that I've ever listened to. That includes albums by my favorites......Pearl Jam....Wilco.......Led Zeppelin........ All of those bands and musicians have great albums but each album has at least one or two songs that you could do without. This album is not like that. You can listen from start to finish each time, and never feel the need to skip over a track. It has every emotion, and each song has such a great hook. Glen is such an amazing songwriter. Pick up "Winter Pays for Summer." You will be glad you did.

Song of the day........Caspar Babypants with "Free Like A Bird"

Having an 8 year old son in the house means that we also have some children's music in our listening rotation.   I don't remember children's music being as good as it is today. Now there still are some artists and songs that are not really good, but the majority are not bad. Why not start off your Monday with some Caspar Babypants? That's right........I said Caspar Babypants. Yes, Caspar Babypants. Check out their song "Free Like A Bird."
