Jethro Tull: Songs From the Wood"
More of an autumn album for me
Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Fantastic choice, l can remember hearing Funeral for a Friend/ Love Lies Bleeding for the first time, a DJ was playing some stuff before his proper set and playing this fairly loud and l just thought who the hell is this? The Ballad of Danny Bailey is another favourite track which surprisingly doesn't get much of a mention. Mind you most of my favourite EJ songs are his 'deep cuts'
Emotional Rescue - The Rolling Stones
Grand Funk Railroad,Caught in the Act.
@@hevmet8386 Great pick. I always feel this second double live album by the band is somewhat overshadowed by the first. I actually prefer this one, of the two and the band sounds great here.
@@hevmet8386 excellent choice!
@@hevmet8386 Great pick! I nearly went with this album myself.
Golden Earring - Moontan
A top ten record and maybe the greatest cruisin' song ever with Radar Love. Are You Receiving Me is the track that really does it for me though. A psyche/prog rock masterpiece of a song.
@@monte.olson58 Hi Monte. Very cool pick. Radar Love is indeed a great cruisin track. Are You Receiving Me is outstanding. I also dig opener ´Candy´s Going Bad a lot. One of my favorite bands.
@@dannyhoeykensLove Golden Earring
@@monte.olson58 Interesting pick Monte. I'm reminded to dig this gem out again and give it a spin.
@@monte.olson58 Hi Monte. Awesome pick and article
@@monte.olson58 Nice pick Monte.
The Eagles Greatest Hits Vol. II--Could've picked lots of Eagles albums, but in the summer between high school and college (1988) I got my first car and it was a non-stop party with all my friends before we went our separate ways. This cassette was in the car and got heavy play as we went to the beach, rock concerts etc. So I still like it for that reason.
My pick today pete is the album screaming for vengeance judas priest 1982
14) Grand Funk - We're An American Band
One of my favorites by Grand Funk, this is the album that launched the band into worldwide mega-stardom and it still sounds great after all these years.
We're An American Band is actually one of the band's most consistent releases overall, with top-notch production quality (thanks to Todd Rundgren). The album includes some truly excellent songs, and also contains perhaps Mark Farner's greatest vocal performances ever on the outstanding "Creepin'", "The Railroad", "Loneliest Rider", and especially on the rollicking "Black Licorice". Other gems feature fiery lead vocals from Don Brewer, including "Walk Like A Man", and the famous title track, which despite being played to death on just about every radio station known to man, I actually still get a big kick out of hearing, which says a lot about its staying power.
Additionally, the inclusion of keyboardist Craig Frost as an official band member is also welcome, especially when it comes to his Hammond organ excursions, which are quite impressive and seemed to add a new energy to the band.
To me, We're An American Band could be considered Grand Funk's masterpiece (or at least one of them) and (unfortunately) it's also the band's last truly great album.
I haven't done summer without it in half a century, and I have no plans to anytime soon.

Hi Chris. Marvelous pick and article. I have this album and could have posted it. Still might also but haven’t decided yet.
Great, hard-rocking, muscular band. In recent months, I've explored their catalog more in depth, and there's a lot of treasures to be found.
@@davidholmes6119 Hey David. They were one of the best bands of their time. They started out as a kickass power trio, and then became a four-piece when they added a keyboard player. We're An American Band is far and away their best album as a four-piece in my opinion.
Excellent pick!
Great pick and story christopher.

This also works in the wintertime. Bitches Brew was the second album I bought from Miles, with Kind of Blue being the first. I was 25 years old, now 52. This is the album that changed my music life. Primed me for instrumental music and epic Prog. So much so, that I literally collect anything influenced by it.
The fact neo con critics like Stanley Crouch despise it so much adds to the mystique.
Bitches Brew is not for short attention spans for sure. It reveals something new each listen. Teo Macero did one of the best cut and paste production jobs of all time on this as well.
My pick for today is The Small Faces - Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake. As a devoted Anglophile I'm a huge fan of English culture. The literature, the music, the mod scene, the humor, Blackadder Monty Python, Fawlty Towers... John Cleese is my favorite comedian, although didn't he called us Belgians, lazy, fat, beer-sodden, pseudo-French bastards, that's quite a compliment, love the accurate description LOL. Together with The Kinks, The Small faces are the quintessential English Rock band. The album kicks of with the instrumental title track, followed by the blissful 'Afterglow'. Other infectious tracks are 'Song Of A Baker' 'Happiness Stan' 'Mad John' and off course 'Lazy Sunday'. I love Steve Marriott´s cockney accent. Awesome album.
Another great 60's pick Danny.

DAY 14- ZZ TOP - Eliminator 1983 Btw Miles Davis nice pick Pete. It is real good.
Eliminator is the eighth studio album by American rock band ZZ Top. It was released on March 23, 1983, by Warner Bros. Records, and rose high on the charts in many countries. Four hit singles were released-"Gimme All Your Lovin'" which reached the American Top 40, "Sharp Dressed Man", "TV Dinners" and their most successful single, "Legs". Eliminator is ZZ Top's most commercially successful release, with sales of 11 million and diamond certification in the US.[4]
Since El Loco in 1981, the bandleader, Billy Gibbons, had been moving ZZ Top's boogie and blues rock style towards the popular new wave style. For Eliminator, he increased the tempo and used more synthesizers and drum machines, producing a "tighter" album with a steady, driving beat.[1] The pre-production engineer Linden Hudson collaborated with Gibbons in Texas on the tempo and songs. The producer Bill Ham and the engineer Terry Manning joined Gibbons in Memphis, Tennessee, to edit the songs, replacing much of the contributions of bassist Dusty Hill and drummer Frank Beard. Ham claimed the album was solely the work of ZZ Top, but in 1986 Hudson won a lawsuit establishing himself as composer of the song "Thug".
Music videos for "Gimme All Your Lovin'", "Sharp Dressed Man" and "Legs" received regular rotation on MTV and helped ZZ Top gain popularity with a younger base. A customized 1933 Ford coupe, depicted on the album cover, appeared in the videos. Following Eliminator's release, ZZ Top embarked on a worldwide concert tour.
The video for "Legs" earned the band the MTV Video Music Award for Best Group. Rolling Stone named Eliminator number 398 on its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.[5] It was listed at number 39 in The 100 Greatest Albums of the 80s, and it was also included in Robert Dimery's book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[6] A remastered version was released in 2008.

Enjoy ZZ Top. Saw the band in 99 open for Lynyrd Skynyrd. Great show TC friends🎶🎶
Stand Back ! Here Comes Charley Musselwhite’s South Side Band (1967)
This is a classic Chicago Blues album of the highest order. It ranks with Paul Butterfield’s East-West, Junior Wells and Hoodoo Man Blues with Buddy Guy & John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton as the best of the blues influenced rock albums of the 1960’s.
Musselwhite leads the band on Harmonica and his gravelly vocals on a near perfect set list of great blues. The clearness of the performances with many instrumentals and bright playing makes this a fantastic summer album.
Fred Below on drums and Bob Anderson on bass are a solid blues based rhythm section. While Barry Goldberg on organ, piano & keyboards and Harvey Mandel on guitar are rock influenced players. Mandel has been described by Legends of Rock Guitar as using “relentless fuzz tone, feedback-edged solos and unusual syncopated phrasing”. In other words the guitar playing is awesome ! Harvey later played with Canned Heat and is featured with them at Woodstock. This combination of styles and Musselwhite’s mastery of the harmonica is what makes this recording so special.
Only 5 tunes have vocals and 7 tunes are instrumentals. The songs are all magnificent; but at the same time there are different sounds that make each tune unique and listenable. Even if you don’t consider yourself a lover of blues, you can still like this album.
A few highlights are “Cha Cha the Blues” with its smooth shuffle. “Christo Redemptor” with its solemn elegant beauty.
“Help Me” with an upbeat intense version of the Sonny Boy Williamson classic blues tune.
“39th and Indiana” is a slow blues wonder with harp, guitar and organ in perfect harmony with each other.
“4PM” is a brilliant guitar workout written by Mandel.
“Sad Day” closes out the album with a somber organ based tune written by Barry Goldberg.
So just put this record on and lay back and enjoy the wonderful sounds that emanate from your speakers.
It will put you in a great mood for anything summer related.

Day 14 - Fu Manchu - California Crossing (2001)
A group of fun, rollicking songs from start to finish. The band here made something highly accessible and hit this one on all cylinders. Songs play best when cruising around. Anything with California in the title, a cruise car on the cover, and the songs to match...well it's a summer album. Favorite tracks: Separate Kingdom, Mongoose, Thinkin' Out Loud, and Ampin'.

Day 14 of another great daily SOT feature and my choice today is not only another compilation outside of the normal SOT brief but also a multi artist choice, (tamla) MOTOWN GOLD. 3 disc set. If the British invasion led by The Beatles and followed by The Stones, The Who, The Kinks etc is generally considered the UK's pop soundtrack of the 60s, then for us in the UK, Motown was the US pop soundtrack of the 60s. Featuring a massive 82 great songs one and all by the likes of Diana Ross solo and with the Supremes, Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, Steve Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, The 4 Tops, The Temptations, Edwin Starr, Rare Earth, The Isley Brothers, Jnr Walker and many many more. Motown took influences from blues, rnb, gospel, rocknroll, soul and married those influences to some of the greatest, pop songwriting and most sublime pop hooks ever recorded via some of popular music's greatest ever artists. This is another set which is perfect for chilling out to at any time, but especially on a summers day on one's own or again guaranteed in a social gathering to further lift the mood and get people singing or even dancing in some cases, including yours truly, if he's 'had a few' (in my case I use the term dancing in its widest possible meaning) Whilst some of the songs are about heartbreak and break up, such is the sheer joyessness and exuberance of the music and the hooks, Motown has that ability to lift the mood. And of course it was hugely influential on a number of our favourite rockers and rock acts that followed in it's wake.
@@jerryattwooll4864 Hi Jerry. Outstanding choice and write up. You can´t go wrong with a Motown compilation in the summer. Some of the best music ever created.
@@jerryattwooll4864 hi Jerry. Fantastic pick and article. I’m surprised that Smoky Robinson wasn’t on this album
Hi Jerry, definitely really good summer party music, but probably the only time I'd listen to it by choice if I'm very honest...
@@melaniethurber5117 Hi Melanie, I did also state many, many more after I'd listed just a few. Smoky is in 'the many many more'. In truth it was just an oversight on my part that I didn't include him in the list of artists. I can assure you Melanie tharhe's well represented on this collection as both performer and songwriter and rightly so.
@@iainhead9898 Hi Iain. I'm sure you're not alone amongst SOT viewers. As someone who is old/ancient enough to remember Pirate Radio and the birth of Radio One, those Motown hits along with all the British Invasion stuff was some of the first pop music I was exposed to and so there's also that nostalgia element for me with Motown.
A nice pick with Miles Davis thanks Pete have a great Sunday.🎶🎶🎶
14. Cheap Trick - Heaven Tonight. 😃👍. Third studio album released on Epic Records on April 1978. If you don’t love Cheap Trick, I am sorry but you are not invited to my party. 😇. This album is polished power pop with big stadium rock elements. This album opens with the brilliant “Surrender.” The dreamy title track is killer. “High Roller” is ever-classic Cheap Trick. All Cheap Trick albums from the 1970s are amazing. Cheap Trick Rules! Rock Always! - Heather

@@ramonace4770 Yes Ramon! Some of the best southern rock ever!
ELO - Time, so cool, so fresh, so magnificent staff
Yes, an underrated concept album by ELO. Followed Discovery. Another fun ELO album is Zoom.
Airto - Seeds on the Ground
The Cramps ... Big Beat From Badsville
Just plain adult musical fun for the summer. Polished rude psychobilly for the masses.
It's a bonus that it is dedicated to legendary Cleveland tv horror movie host Ghoulardi. This comes from Poison Ivy's and Lux Interior's time living in Northeast Ohio before starting the act. Most know Ghoulardi best as Ernie Anderson, the seventies voiceover artist for the ABC Network (The Loooovvveee Boat) and father of movie director Wes Anderson (Boogie Nights).

Great pick Richard there's certainly some seedy lyrics on this album.
@@andrewcarr5923 Thank you.
Cool pick with Miles Davis, Pete.
Pick #14: Naked and Famous's Passive Me, Aggressive You. Another pick that might be pretty questionable as far as whether it truly fits summer, but there is a catchiness to this one that I've really grown to love these past couple of years. Also, as questionable as this logic is, the fact there's a song titled The Sun made me think this was a close enough pick.

Hi, I've been trying to reply to you regarding my opinion on the Moody Blues album Strange Times. A communication breakdown after three attempts, I'll be quick and say that after giving the album a good listen I've come to the conclusion that l only really like four songs, English Sunset is a decent uptempo tune to start the album, My Little Lovely is a nice little ditty, The Swallow is my favourite track and Nothing Changes with it's spoken lyrics which reminds me a little of their early albums finishes the album nicely. There are a lot of lightweight songs such as Words You Say, awful! Wherever You Are and Love Don't Come Easy etc.etc. Maybe I'm comparing this later album to their early work and it doesn't come close to any of their phenomenal early songs I'm afraid.
My # 14 summer album pick for today is Prism's 1977 self Titled album. Produced by Bruce Fairbairn and most of the songs were written by Jim Vallance. It achieved platinum status in Canada. Never get tired of hearing Spaceship Superstar.

Ac/dc Back in Black ..monstrous album ..❤
Today's pick : Highway to Hell / AC/DC. Hearing the title track for the first time made an impression on me during that summer.
RIP Bon Scott
For me today Some Girls by the Stones
I recall listening to this album all the time in the summer months over the years
My #14: Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell II: Back Into Hell
My pick today for summertime favorite today will be Ted Nugent ‘Weekend Warriors’. Just listened to this last night. Not my favorite and I could have picked a few others but I remember getting this in the summer. Ted recycles some riffs on here but there’s also some great songs!
@@resistor27 hi resistor. Excellent pick and article
Great Pick! My favorite Nuge album!
Saxon - Power and the Glory
I need to start listening to more of his music. I only have Kind of Blue. My #14: Going with the 8th album from an artist who has been around since the mid 90s and has done all kinds of music. He started out doing a mix of Rock & Rap, but over time has incorporated a mix of Country, Soul, Metal, etc. into his music as well and is a great live performer. This album is perfect for the summertime. Talking about Kid Rock - Born Free
Pick #14: The Doobie Brothers - Takin' It To The Streets
Great choice, definitely one of the best Miles Davis albums. My choice today...
Extreme - Extreme
For Day 14 my pick is Paco de Lucia - The Spanish Guitar. Music is exactly what the title suggest, album was released in 1976.
@@zlatanfilipovic8798 hi Zlatan. That name sounds familiar. I think I’ve heard him before.
Good morning (afternoon, evening or night), Pete. A fine selection. Personal pick today? The seventh studio album by this artist released just days after my 20th birthday in February 1976 on the Columbia label that hit seven charts including the US Billboard 200 (#2) and the US Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop albums - the wonderfully enjoyable Silk Degrees by Boz Scaggs. Perhaps the commercial apex and which seems to have not yet gone out of style. Singles include Lowdown, Lido Shuffle, It's Over Now and What Can I Say. Pop rock and ballads galore with a bevy of musicians best read on Wikipedia or elsewhere but that included members of what would be Toto - David Hugate, David Paich ,& Jeff Porcaro. An album which was played heavily on business road trips of the 70s and one subject to The Curse as have bought the original LP, a cassette tap and was one of the first CDs purchased while changing the library from LP to CD. Thanks once again, Pete, for these daily episodes.
@@johnmichaelwilliams6694 hi John awesome pick and article.
@@johnmichaelwilliams6694 Great pick John. I was 16 when Silk Degrees was released, and it was easily the most laid back record in my collection. I loved it then and since I've gotten older I enjoy it even more.
@@melaniethurber5117 Thanks, Melanie.
@@christophercoles4401 Thanks, Chris. Like you, it's come to be even more enjoyable for me over time.
Sly and the Family Stone - Greatest Hits - 1970
Don’t know if this is would go over so well at a pool party or a similar gathering
Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pilow
Fantastic choice and cd chrome
4- Foreigner
Excellent pick!
@@inmyhouse11 Great pick, still my favourite Foreigner album, even if I did pick Double Vision purely for this feature.
Hi everyone, hope our weekends are going well. I'm going to keep it fairly brief today, as there's a lot of sport to watch later, namely the men's final at Wimbledon and then the small matter of the European football final...
My pick today is unusual for me as I'm going for a "best of" compilation album by a band others have picked several times already, but as I couldn't decide on a specific studio album I decided to cheat...
FOREIGNER "Records" (Atlantic, 1982)
This has the distinction of being the first album by the band I heard, thanks to our local library, and it will always be the band's best ever greatest hits album, because ut predates "That Song"... you know the one I mean!!
Cold As Ice, Feels Like The First Time, Juke Box Hero, Hot Blooded, Head Games, Dirty White Boy, Urgent... I mean, yes, it's melodic and they're labelled an AOR band, but this stuff rocks! Even the one big ballad on here, Waiting For A Girl Like You, manages to be acceptably saccharine. Unlike "That Song"...
Of course, I made it a mission to acquire the four studio albums these songs were taken from in pretty short order. All four are great Records, as is Records, for the summer...
Great pick! Agree, the first four albums are fantastic.
By the way, good luck for tonight's final!
As you can imagine, here in Spain everybody is looking forward to win the fourth European trophy.
@@ramonace4770 I have a horrible feeling you might be right. Spain have certainly been the best team overall - Your 16 year old Lamal is a freak of nature!!
By the way, I am supporting Alcaraz at Wimbledon if that helps balance things up!!!
@@iainhead9898 England is a great team, they have improved in every game. It will be a great match!
Also hope Alcaraz wins, even if, like Nadal, he’s a Real Madrid fan...(Atlético Madrid is my team)
@@iainhead9898 hi Iain. Fantastic pick and article
Don’t forget TDF classic mountain stage. Even longer than a Bruce Springsteen concert!
Pyromania for the win 🎉
Honeymoon Suite-The Big Prize. The 1986 follow-up to their 1984 self-titled debut. It was released on Valentine's Day in 1986. Produced by Bruce Fairbairn and engineered by Bob Rock. Recorded at Little Mountain Studio in Vancouver and Boogie Motel in Long Island, New York. Like Loverboy, this mixed New Wave and Arena Rock. Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson plays flute on All Along You Knew. Honeymoon Suite was the opening act on Jethro Tull's 1984 Under Wraps tour.
Huey Lewis & the News, Small World, 1988
Chris Rea - On The Beach, his 8th studio album. He's made a lot of excellent albums, some are gritter, rockier and/or bluesier than this. It does include the superb, lengthy It's All Gone, a sad tale of loss & decay, but most of it is more optimistic. Songs like the classic title track just provide a perfect sountrack for lazy, balmy, summer days.
Great choice with another great Chris Rea album.
The self-titled from Boston for me today!
Styx the Grand Illusion
Donald Fagen - Nightfly
My choice is A Space in Time Years After.
Thanks Pete for refering Portugal! 6:05
Exuma s/t debut (1970)
My pick for today : "Forever Changes" by Love.
Hi Pete & everyone. Dave here. My pick today is COME AND GET IT: THE BEST OF APPLE RECORDS. I picked this mainly for the Badfinger tracks, like Come And Get It and Day After Day - powerpop bliss. Artists on this album were those selected by The Beatles for their own record label. And they were certainly hands-on! For example, Paul, George and Ringo (plus Eric Clapton) played on Sour Milk Sea by Jackie Lomax; Paul produced Those Were The Days, a huge worldwide hit for Mary Hopkin; and honorary Beatle, Billy Preston, is on here with That's The Way God Planned It (guitars by George & Eric, bass Keith Richards and drums Ginger Baker). And John & Yoko wrote God Save Us, a fundraising single for the UK satirical magazine Oz.
@@gaiaeternal5131 hi Dave. Never of that pick but it sounds like a great one. Fantastic article.
@@melaniethurber5117 Thanks, Melanie.
@@gaiaeternal5131 Great pick Dave. Lots of great songs here.
@@gaiaeternal5131 Excellent choice Dave!
@@jerryattwooll4864 Thanks, Jerry.
My pick for today takes me back to the summer of 1976 & I'm combining it with its sister album to make a double album out of it. It's Wired & Blow By Blow-Jeff Beck. Instrumental albums that feature many great summer songs like Freeway Jam, Led Boots, Cause We've Ended As Lovers, Love Is Green, etc. I remember the local record store had the Wired album promotional poster on the wall and I tried over & over to get it from the owner but to no avail. I did get the Robin Trower Live promotional poster(& still have it)which is better for me cuz I'm a bigger Trower fan than Jeff Beck fan.
@@stevemcnary7963 Excellent pick Steve. I've always seen those two albums as belonging together too.
There's a lot of Davis records that would fit so well for the heat and sun of the summer, but this is certainly a good one
