Aaron's song of the day

[Aaron]

A party classic... love that bass line.

S.O.S. Band
"Take Your Time (Do It Right)"
1980

 

[scotchandcigar]

From 2017 R&R Hall of Famers... Yes

One of my favorite deeper cuts from them.. after the obligatory progressive rock intro, a really pretty song breaks out

Yes
"Survival"
1969

I just noticed this. Cool song, one of their oldest.

 

[Aaron]

A fun one from this week's 1971 Countdown.
"My dog Sam eats purple flowers..."

Tommy James
"Draggin' the Line"
1971

Tommy James
"Draggin' the Line"
1971

That is a good one. Tommy James is underrated

 

[HecticArt]

Always great to hear that song.

 

[Aaron]

One of the best songs of all time. RIP Glen Campbell.

Glen Campbell
"Wichita Lineman"
1968

 

[Aaron]

The Waterboys
"The Whole of the Moon"
1985

 

[semipenguin]

The lead singer sounds like the lead singer of James.

"You think you're so pretty"

 

[HecticArt]

I always think that song is somebody else.

Good tune!

 

[Aaron]

I listen to lots of 70's soul music.
Smooth production on this one.

The Spinners
"I'll Be Around"
1972

 

[Aaron]

A good song that I don't hear very often anymore.
Very typical of the time, with awesome classic bass riff, and progressive rock style keyboard solo.

Sugarloaf
"Green-Eyed Lady"
1970

I think the 7 minute play time has something to do with it.

 

[Aaron]

On this week's countdown of songs from this week in 1980...

The Korgis
"Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime"
1980

 

[HecticArt]

I don't remember that song.

 

[Aaron]

I don't remember that song.

I don't remember it from back then either. I guess I've learned to like it from hearing it in the occasional countdown...

 

[Aaron]

The Power Station - I wish they had stayed together longer. That rhythm section was killer. Palmer was a cool singer too.

The Power Station
"Some Like It Hot"
1985

 

[HecticArt]

Amen.
They were excellent, and made me realize how much musicianship there really was in Duran Duran.

The Power Station
"Some Like It Hot"
1985

I liked their cover version of "Get It On (Bang A Gong)":

 

[Aaron]

Not sure if I ever gave much thought to the lyrics of this song, but I always like the sound of the guitar.

The Smashing Pumpkins
"1979"
1996

 

[HecticArt]

I always dug it too.
