Song of the day......Weezer with "Hash Pipe"

Today's song of the day is from the band Weezer, and it's actually the first Weezer song on my Song of The Day blog. There will be more for sure as Weezer has written some great songs over the years. Today's song is off of the green album, and is called "Hash Pipe." I love the verse riff in this, that walking group of power chords just really sets up the hook for the song. So, check out "Hash Pipe."

Song of the day......New Kids On The Block with "You Got It (The Right Stuff)"

Today's song of the day is by New Kids On The Block. I remember when I was in school this was huge, and everybody was doing that dance that is in the video here at the chorus. These guys kind of took Pop music over for a few years in the late 80's early '90's. So, it's Saturday, and why not give 'em a song of the day. So, here it is.

Song of the day.......Radiohead with "Bullet Proof...I Wish I Was"

Back when I was in high school I remember that my parents had a cassette deck in their car, and I would take the car to school on a daily basis, and play this collection of tapes that I had. One of those was Radiohead's magnificent album "The Bends." About two years ago I went and re-purchased the album on CD, and it was amazing to me how listening to that CD some 20 years later just takes me back to those days of driving to school listening to this album. Great CD, and this is a great track off of that album. Love the lead guitar part at the chorus on this. Just adds so much to that chorus. Great track. Check out "Bullet Proof...I Wish I Was."

Song of the day.........AC/DC with "Stiff Upper Lip"

Today's song of the day is from veteran rockers AC/DC, and is the title track off of their Stiff Upper Lip album. Power chords, power chords, and more power chords, but it is always interesting, and they have the ability to change each song enough to keep it interesting. I love the opening to this, and then you just know once Angus' riff stops that the whole band is going to come crashing in. Every album they prove that they are not slowing down at all. Great track!!!

Song of the day......AC/DC with "Hells Bells"

Today's song of the day is from the AC/DC album "Back In Black," which was the first album that AC/DC released with new singer Brian Johnson. There isn't a NFL game that goes by anymore where I don't hear those bells, and Angus' guitar riff playing that intro. It's kind of become a stadium anthem. If Meat Loaf is the master of the ballad, then these guys were, and continue to be, the master of the power chords. They've done some absolutely great things with power chords over the years. I love the intro in this, and then when the whole band kicks in during that intro riff is just great. Check out "Hells Bells," a classic from AC/DC.

Song of the day........U2 with "Pride"

I was watching the movie "42" today, and was thinking of what it must have been like to live in Jackie Robinson's America, and what bravery it took on his part to do what he did. Got me thinking about the movement led by Martin Luther King to fight for equal rights in this country for African Americans. I always get choked up when I hear U2's song "Pride," which was written as a tribute to Martin Luther King. Just a great song the has such an emotional attachment to one of our country's greatest leaders...... Enjoy "Pride," and also check out "42." A really well done movie.......
