2nd last week...

Mr. T

Joe Walsh - "In The City"

Some of you may not know how we started SOTDF but back mine and G-Man's OFS days with our former member Rob, we used to simply toss our Song of the Day out in between customers. My first pick back then was a Joe Walsh song, one of my guitar heroes. Which song, I don't recall, but my Second last SOTD is also a Joe Walsh song, "In The City".

Note From G-Man: "Impressed you remember the pick from the pre-blog days!"

G-Man

Metallica - "No Leaf Clover"

Y'all had to know Metallica was going to show up among these few final weeks. Always felt there was an epic finality to this song. It could play while marching off to your last stand in a battle, or to pump you up for the second half of game 7. I may not be acting like it, but I will miss this blog a little bit.

Theses guys came on the radio randomly while I was in Toronto over New Years, not this song, but not "Lovefool" either. Made me think of this banger of a track.

The Kooks - "Sway"

An unfortunate band name almost let this song be lost to obscurity for me. But it came on randomly while chilling in my backyard and it made me glad I ripped the album before giving it away.  Turns out they have some decent tunes, some cheesey ones too, but some good ones. The album now sits happily on my CD rack.

Bruce Hornsby - "Walk In The Sun"

6AM. A cool early August morning. I set out on my daily commute. Windows down. The highway yawns, flanked by green and yellow farmlands. A hazy Sun bathes the low hanging clouds in grey and gold. The opening bars of this song parade through my car speakers. My eyes narrow and I give a rare slight smile. Some days it's just wonderful to be alive

Ricky Byrd - "Glamdemic Blues"

G-Man

The Smashing Pumpkins - "Mayonaise"

From maybe the Pumpkins' best album, this one took a while for me to appreciate. But once it took it's hold, it's like being wrapped in a warm blanket of guitar fuzz and wall of sound distortion. Enjoy

Crown Lands - "White Buffalo"

Jonny HP

G-Man

Q Lazarus - "Goodbye Horses"

Note From J.B.: "Great Pick"

Going with an absolute classique tonight. Definitely falls under the category of "Meme Song" these days, but this is nothing of the sort. I unironically enjoyed this song when it came on my morning commute today and remembered back about 15 years ago when I rediscovered it. Those were great days

Ablaze

 

Mr. T

Dolly Parton - "Two Doors Down"

G-Man

Fontaines DC - "I Love You"

I Love hearing and discovering good songs that slipped by me over the years. This one was recently shown to me and definitely has that early 2000's or even late 90's brooding vibe. That's why I was absolutely shocked and pleasantly surprised to hear that this song was released in February 2022!!! It's great hope that such vibrant sounds and passionate music is still out there today. 

Gord Downie - "The Stranger"

Truth. Reconciliation.

Coolio - "C U When You Get There" feat. 40 Thevz

Coolio grinded his way to the top. He was just a regular guy with a dream. Worked as a volunteer fire fighter and a security guard until he finally made it as a rapper. This jam definitely hits a bit different week.

Plastic Covered Couches

 

Mr. T

Otis Redding - "Down In The Valley"

G-Man

Daft Punk - "Give Life Back To Music"

Originality. Talent. Timelessness. 3 Reasons why I love Daft Punk. They never compromised. Never fell off. And when they decided they were done. They were done. Good show.

This pick is based on the fact that my lady and I are about to see The Weeknd in Toronto!

Jonny HP

Thin Lizzy - "The Boys Are Back In Town"

Mike D

The Wanted - "Chasing The Sun"

J.B.

The Breeders - "Cannonball"

I never knew the background behind The Breeders, but recently heard this eclectic 90's grunge track. Kim Deal, the lead singer took on the band as a side project after seeing huge success with The Pixies.

Lachrymose

 The Return of Rob!!

Rob

Rage Against The Machine - "People Of The Sun"

Mr. T

Gramps Morgan - "Runaway Bay"

G-Man

Metallica - "Fade To Black"

Metallica seems to back in the public's collective conscious again, which is great. But they never left mine since I discovered them in 1996. For every occasion an album. For every emotion a riff. For every joyous moment a song. For every tear and heartbreak a lament. "Fade To Black" was from their second album, but just like many of their tunes, literally timeless.

Doug
