    Velvet Revolver - Contraband
    Scott Weiland was a great singer/ songwriter it's such a shame that he couldn't break free of his addictions, Slash, Duff and Matt along with Dave Kushner make up the rest of this supergroup and they released two great albums, this debut being the best of them for me, standout tracks include "Slither" and the superb "Fall to Pieces"

    PETER HAMMILL - INCOHERENCE - 14 tracks at 42 minutes and presented as one suite. This album requires your total attention and benefits from repeated listenings. It’s not VDG but contains some fine songs from HAMMILL with his haunting vocals.

    Making up for days we missed in May.. SOT's obscure underrated albums..
    24. Masters Of Reality "Masters Of Reality aka The Blue Garden" (1989)
    Band with next album would find Ginger Baker on the drums.. One of my top favorite obscure underrated albums of all time. Love this album. Have it on double Midnight blue colored vinyl. highlight songs are. The candy song. Doraldina's Prophecies (A great song that got deleted from the album originally. When they change track listing a couple years later, thankfully, they put it back on the vinyl I got. as it's one of my favorite songs on the album.). John Brown, Getting high. Blue Garden. and the fantastic jazzy love song. Magical spell. That features the great line. "She's got the right ass..." LOL.. One of those albums I get so happy when I can share it with somebody. And I could introduce them to a fantastic album. I hate for anybody to miss this. highly recommended.......

      Very cool pick, underrated yes, not talked about enough yes, don’t know about obscure though, it was produced by Rick Rubin and released on his Def American label after all. When Pete did his ranking of his favorite hard rock and metal albums of the 80s, I had it at number 2 just behind Reign in Blood. Not a weak moment on that album.

    My number 6 Blackfield - Blackfield
    Blackfield is a musical project founded by Steven Wilson and Aviv Geffen. Their music combines melancholic melodies with introspective lyrics. The sound of Blackfield is a mixture of art rock, pop and progressive rock, characterised by soft guitar sounds and atmospheric arrangements. The harmonious vocal passages and clear production contribute to a melancholic yet catchy soundscape.

    Pick #6: Chevelle's This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In). Admittedly outside of the SoT bubble once again, but I've always had a soft spot for Chevelle. Vitamin R was also my introduction to them so there's also that for sentimental value. Sci Fi Crimes and NIRATIAS are probably my two favorite albums by Chevelle at the moment.

    #6 The Black Keys - Rubber Factory
    Awesome Blues Rock! Dan Auerbach's raw, bluesy vocals and guitar riffs match perfectly with Pat Carney's energetic drumming. Simply done, but so effective because the core sound isn't lost in production gimmicks and "arrangements". You really feel as if you were in the tire factory as they recorded it.
    Rubber Factory was The Black Keys most solid release up to that time. The record features kickass Blues songs from start to finish.
    "10 A.M. Automatic" is painfully catchy. "Grown So Ugly" is an utterly indescribably hot cover of a Robert Pete Williams tune, and "The Lengths" is a classic example of a Blues song where the guitar croons heartbreak just as much as Auerbach's vocal.
    Rubber Factory sounds great. You can see that The Black Keys have grown since their previous records in terms of music and lyrics. They are in control, they seem to know what they want to do, they experiment with different sounds. What I love about this album is that it's still raw; Auerbach and Carney had learned how to produce a record but they didn't make it too polished.
    The album is the final version of the original Keys' lo-fi, raw Blues duo. They would slowly refine their sound as each album went by, to the point where they weren't really a duo anymore. They'll never make raw music like this again, but that's okay, because they won't be able to top this.
    Favorite Tracks:
    "10 A.M. Automatic"
    "Just Couldn't Tie Me Down"
    "All Hands Against His Own"
    "The Lengths"
    "Grown So Ugly"
    "Till I Get My Way"
    #6 The Black Keys - Rubber Factory
    #7 The Tangent - The World That We Drive Through
    #8 Threshold - Subsurface
    #9 Megadeth - The System Has Failed
    #10 Sum 41 - Chuck
    #11 Iced Earth - The Glorious Burden
    #12 Alter Bridge - One Day Remains
    #13 Blues Explosion - Damage
    #14 Within Temptation - The Silent Force
    #15 Aerosmith - Honkin' On Bobo

    Day 6
    My pick for today is:
    Pinetop Perkins
    “Ladies Man”
    Perkins was an American blues artist. He played the piano with some of the most influential blues and rock and roll performers of his times. Perkins received a lot of honors and awards for his playing so good and he was inducted into the blues hall of fame. He began his music career as a guitarist. He was injured in a fight which left him unable to play the guitar. So he switched over to piano playing which made it easier for his left arm. Perkins joined Earl Hookey and began touring. He recorded “Pinetops Boogie Woogie” at a studio in Memphis Tennessee. Perkins wasn’t able to write because of the lack of his education. He left the music business until Hooker convinced him to record again in 1968. Perkins joined the Muddy Waters band in 1969. After so many years he joined a legendary blues band with Willie Smith. Perkins was a side man on a different recording but never had an album devoted to his artistry until “After Hours” was released by Blind Pig Records. They toured in the support of the album which featured Jimmy Rogers and guitarist Hubert Sumlin. Perkins lived in Texas and passed away in March of 2011.

I read that when this album came out in 2004 that Perkins was in his car and hit by a train. But at 91 he wasn’t injured. I haven’t heard that album but I have heard him play…he was one of the greats !!😊

Was the first cd marketed as Lydia Pense and Cold Blood They added a little jazz to their Rock Soul and Blues arsenal. Cold Blood was one of first bay area bands to sign with Bill Grahams new San Francisco label. Along with Tower of Power pioneered the heavy funk rock sound. They matched Tower of Powers fine horn section. They used two different groups of musicians on this cd. Key songs are Ready To Love. Under Pressure. When My Love Hand Comes Down. And Your Free Lovin Me. They were among many bands who performed at the closing of the Fillmore Concert. Lydia Pense was every bit as good as Janis and Grace on any given day she could have been Queen of the Bay area.

    My # 6 pick for 2004 is an album released on June 15th 2004 and recorded in 2002-04 and produced by Jay Baumgardner and Bob Marlette I'm talking about the second studio album by South African rock band Seether. Disclaimer II. It is a recompilation of the band's first album, Disclaimer, from 2002. Although the 12 tracks from the original album are present, they were slightly remixed and differ from the original. Also, the majority of the remixed tracks feature additional lead guitar melodies with the addition of a permanent lead guitarist to the band's line-up prior to the release of the album. This is also the first Seether album to feature contributions from their current drummer John Humphrey. In Europe, the album includes four tracks more than its predecessor; in the United States, the album has eight extra tracks, some of which had been previously released on soundtracks, such as "Hang On," which had been featured on the 2003 Daredevil soundtrack and "Out of My Way," which had been featured on the soundtrack to the 2003 horror film Freddy vs. Jason as well as the 2017 film Transformers: The Last Knight. "Fine Again" also appeared on Madden NFL 2003 and 1080° Avalanche.A primary reason for the reworking of Disclaimer was the popularity of "Broken." Originally a simple acoustic ballad, it was remade into an electric, duet version with vocals by Evanescence frontwoman Amy Lee, who was dating Seether frontman Shaun Morgan at the time. This new version was originally featured on the 2004 Punisher soundtrack and had an accompanying music video. Both the US and European releases include the new rendition of "Broken," and Disclaimer II subsequently became Seether's most successful album commercially. The song "Sold Me", also from The Punisher soundtrack, was used for WWE's Bad Blood pay per view, along with WWE also using "Out of My Way" as the entrance theme of Zach Gowen. The song "Take Me Away" is an acoustic version of a track from their first independent album (originally as Saron Gas), Fragile (2000).Tracks 1 - 13 are the same as on the original Disclaimer album, although slightly reworked. Tracks 14 - 20 did not appear on the original Disclaimer album.

    Hi everyone, Im posting early as Pete has cued up today's episode nice and early again! So, as Monday rolls round again it's day 10 of 2004 albums celebrating 20 years of existence, and mine for today is another that several others have picked and which, again, is hard for me to believe that I've owned it for all of those 20 years...
    WITHIN TEMPTATION The Silent Force (GUN/Roadrunner)
    Fronted by Sharon den Adel, here was a Dutch band playing symphonic hard rock and metal, but with slightly less of an emphasis on the grandiosity of bands like Nightwish, limiting their songs in length - nothing on here lasts over 5 minutes - and focusing on combining melody and power with Sharon's voice. Her style is less operatic than, to continue the analogy, Nightwish's Tarja Turunen, although she can easily reach that upper range when required, backed by excellent, often choral, harmony vocals.
    Song highlights come thick and fast. We start with a 2 minute, classically infused intro - The Silent Force - which segues into See Who I Am with its soaring chorus, followed by Jillian (I'd Give My Heart) and Stand My Ground, both total earworms with choruses bolstered by those choral harmonies. Next comes Pale, a softer track with a beautiful vocals from Sharon, before Forsaken, Angels, Memories and Aquarius continue the one-word titled excellence. It's The Fear, bucks the one word trend but actually improves the quality, a great track, and then comes Somewhere, the closing number unless, like me, you have the special edition which adds two bonus tracks, A Dangerous Mind and The Swan Song, both well worth seeking out...
    Sharon is the focal point of the band, but the musicianship is excellent, with keyboard player Martijn Spierneberg, guitarists Ruud Jolie and Robert Westerholt, bassist Jeroen van Veen and drummer Stephen van Haestregt all combining brilliantly, with Isaac Muller and Slard de Jong credited with 'Celtic instruments'.
    If you've never listened to them because the likes of Nightwish are too OTT on the operatics and pomposity, then try Within Temptation for something equally brilliant but perhaps more easily accessible. Their follow-up, 2007's The Heart Of Everything, was even better, and 2011's The Unforgiving completed a stunning hat-trick.
    I would also recommend their Q Music Sessions release, 11 of the 15 covers they recorded for the Dutch radio station Q Music to celebrate 15 years as a band. I'm normally not a big fan of covers albums, but this is different, as almost none of the songs are by typically SoT artists - Lana Del Rey, Imagine Dragons, Bruno Mars, Enrique Iglesias etc. - and WT really make them their own. Anyway, that's enough for one day, have a good one wherever you are...

    Kenny Wayne Shepherd - The Place You’re In
    This is a modern blues rock record. He may have been first influenced by Muddy Waters, but I don’t hear any of that in his playing on this album. I would say he would be a cross between Eric Clapton and Eric Johnson…both of which I saw live back in the eighties. Like them Kenny has a very clean sound without a lot of embellishments. A lot of these tunes are very funky bordering up to almost leaving the blues all together. But his lead guitar sounds are always rock oriented. The one drawback may be his voice. It’s a little thin …but not a big deal really. But his guitar playing is outstanding.
    Marti Frederiksen plays bass and co wrote most of the songs with Kenny. Brian Tichy plays drums.
    “Alive” is a fine rocker to start off the album. There is a beauty of a guitar solo too !
    “Be Mine” has a funky groove reminiscent of Stevie Ray Vaughan. There is a lot of string bending on this one !
    “Let Go” has a very nice flow that you can tap your feet to. And there is another good guitar solo near the end.
    “Ain’t Selling Out” is very much like “Ain’t No Telling” from Axis: Bold As Love. He plays fast here like Jimi, SRV, and Alvin Lee. I guess I can’t help comparing him to Hendrix…but I do it to everyone who picks up a Strat !!
    “Get It Together” has another funky groove this time with a slashing guitar. The Wah-Wah pedal comes out here for a neat solo. This is strictly hard nosed rock. That’s why for me their songs cannot be connected to before Clapton or Jeff Beck. It’s just not traditional blues rock; it’s modern blues like I mentioned before. That’s not a dig…it’s just not a favorite style of mine.
    “A Little Bit More” closes the album with a bang of an instrumental. I only wish that there were more tunes like this on this record.
    Kenny Wayne Shepherd knows his way around a Stratocaster on this album. And it is for that reason that I recommend this one to you for your pleasure !!

    Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
    Released by Mute Records in September 2004, Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus is a double album by Australian musician Nick Cave (my personal favorite artist) and his multinational group, the Bad Seeds. The album, their thirteenth overall, is an epic and panoramic listening experience and shows Cave’s breadth and diversity as a performer. With his ace band in tow, including multi-instrumentalist Warren Ellis on flute, mandolin, bouzouki, and violin, Cave shows his acumen for tender, gospel-influenced, gothic-adjacent balladry on songs such as “Carry Me” and “O Children” while other cuts, including “Get Ready for Love” and “Supernaturally,” find him in a lustier, more aggressive rock-and-roll-shaman mode. And his lyricism impresses and fascinates as always - consider “There She Goes, My Beautiful World,” where he cleverly catalogs great art born of diminished, banal, and/or painful circumstances:
    🎶 John Wilmot penned his poetry
    Riddled with the pox
    Nabokov wrote on index cards
    At a lectern, in his socks
    St. John of the Cross did his best stuff
    Imprisoned in a box
    And Johnny Thunders was half alive
    When he wrote “Chinese Rocks” 🎶
    Choice cuts: “Breathless,” “O Children”
    Prior 2004 selections -
    Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
    Antics by Interpol
    A Grand Don't Come for Free by the Streets

    Today’s pick: IS THERE LOVE IN SPACE? by JOE SATRIANI. My picks for this series are not ranked. Instead today, I’ll give not only the album a letter grade, songs will be graded individually also.
    “Gnaahh” is an interesting and fun album opener. Joe Satriani is one of the best guitar players on Earth so something about that is going to be brought up plenty of times today. Here goes…Great one of a kind guitar soloing on this song. Grade A
    “Up in Flames” is an excellent hard rocker with some of the best guitar playing to go along with it. Grade A
    “Hands in the Air” is another hard rockin’ tune with great soloing and some wild effects thrown in to boot. Grade A
    “Lifestyle” has a rare vocal from Joe included. Joe’s not the best singer in the world and this would have gotten a higher grade had Satriani hired a singer worthy of this composition. GradeB+
    “Is There Love in Space?” This song could have been written by any number of rock artists. It’s the lead guitar playing that makes this number special. Grade B+
    “If I Could Fly” is a really good song with nice chording. Joe solo’s all the way through. Grade A
    “The Souls of Distortion” is the heaviest tune on this album. Joe makes terrific use of his wah-wah pedal throughout. Grade A
    ”Just Look Up” is a rather beautiful, tender composition. Satriani usually includes a song like this on each of his albums. While this isn’t his absolute best effort in that department it still deserves a grade of B+.
    “I Like the Rain” is a kind of boogie tune with an electronically distorted vocal. Singing - Grade C; Songwriting - Grade B; Guitar solo - Grade A
    “Searching” is the longest composition on this album clocking in at over ten minutes. I had to listen to it twice just to absorb it all. Grade A-
    “Bamboo” is a soothing composition that after making it through this whole album could lull you to sleep. Grade B
    Overall album grade is A-

    My choice today is one I don't think I've seen in the comments before for 2004 choices. It's Proto-Kaw with 'Before Became After'. This was a band that existed in the early 1970s, as an early incarnation of Kansas, with Kerry Livgren being the prime mover (to borrow the title of another album he was later involved in). The members of the line-up of this early version of Kansas didn't release any music back in the 1970s, but some stuff was recorded, which only saw a release about 30 years later in 2002 under the title of 'Early Recordings from Kansas 1971-1973'. This is a really interesting album as it contains some early versions of songs that would later turn up on Kansas albums, and the seeds of the direction Kansas would take. The old band members got together for the first time in many years when this album was released and found that, perhaps surprisingly, they still had some chemistry, even though some of them hadn't really been involved in music at all in the intervening period. They decided to make some new recordings, but they couldn't call themselves 'Kansas' now, so they came up with an appropriate new name, 'Proto-Kaw' ('proto' meaning 'early' or 'original', 'Kaw' the root word for a tribe from which Kansas took its name). This band went on to record three very good albums between 2004 and 2011, of which my choice today is the first. If you like Kerry Livgren and/or Kansas, you'll like this too. Check out 'Words of Honor' or 'Axolotl' as a starting place if you care to.

    6. Mastodon - Leviathan
    In the 90s, like a lot of people, I checked out of the metal scene beyond the stoner variety of Melvins, Monster Magnet, Kyuss and Sleep. The last real metal show I saw that decade was Bolt Thrower in 1992. That was a mistake. Not Bolt Thrower, who were awesome, but missing out on, for example, Iron Maiden in a small club during those lean Blaze Bailey years. The extreme metal underground continued to progress and mutate, with Death, Coroner, Acid Bath, and Neurosis pushing things forward. Entombed's Uprising (2000) and Opeth's Blackwater Park (2001) started to shake me out of my metal slumber, as did Mastodon's Remission (2002). By the time Leviathan came out, I was fully onboard with seeing metal shows again. While the Atlanta, GA band's debut saw them bursting out the gate at full strength with their sludge and prog metal formula fully formed, the whole presentation of Leviathan with it's ambitious literary concepts, gorgeous cover art and the distinct personalities of the band members emerging that had me thinking this band might reach Metallica level popularity. That didn't happen, but they still remain one of the most highly regarded metal bands of the 21st century, along with Opeth and Gojira. And Leviathan has aged like a great barrel aged bourbon.

    Haven't heard all of their music, but I do like what I've heard so far. I've seen some live footage and they are really good. My #6: Going with the 4th album from a great Blues/Rock guitarist who has been around for quite a while now. He's a great player who definitely grew up listening to the best players including SRV, Jimi Hendrix, etc. His previous 2 albums featured a different singer, but this one features himself on the guitar and lead vocals.

    Back to the AOR obscurities again, today (Hello Iain). A little known release from that great specialist melodic rock label, Frontiers, an album simply titled FROM THE INSIDE. This is basically a vehicle for vocalist Danny Vaughn backed by the cream of Frontiers' best musicians. 11 original songs from various sources, even including Desmond Child in one instance. Danny Vaughn originally made his name singing with Waysted and raking them in a more melodic direction, before fronting his own hard rocking AOR combo Tyketto. Outside of the real A List singers in this field such as Lou Gramm, Steve Perry, Jimi Jamison, Steve Walsh, Tommy Shaw etc, Danny is about as good as it gets and he's in quite magnificent voice here on a selection of quality AOR songs. This is, for the most part, pure AOR with the emphasis on melody, hooks and big, make that huge choruses rather than instrumental showing off or hard rocking thrills. There are a couple of melodic riff rockers here, the Desmond Child Co write, Suddenly and Always, where the guitars are more prominent throughout the song. Elsewhere the likes of Nothing At All, Stop, Relentless, and Blessing in Disguise are all great uptempo melodic rock tracks with big hooks. Damn and Is Anybody Watching Me are slower AOR songs without actually being ballads. Fight For Love and Losing Game are the two regular power ballads here, both blessed with big hooky choruses. Best of all is closing epic track, a huge sounding slowie that just builds and builds, Beautiful Goodbye, featuring an absolutely stunning vocal from Danny Vaughn and some real emotional heft. Very much an album for the AOR congesenti.

      Also an Alice Cooper album (1978) - with Davey Johnstone, Dick Wagner, Dee Murray, Jim Keltner, Lee Sklar, Steve Lukather, Rick Nilesen. Also a Poco album (1971)...Tyketto has some pretty good AOR albums-especially in the 90's-and Vaughn's a good singer (he's also got a few good solo albums-maybe more 'rock' than AOR). As usual I like the upbeat numbers more, they do include maybe a few too many ballads (or 'slower numbers'). Sometimes I get an Extreme vibe from them. TBH don't like that much from them post 90's (don't hink I've heard all of the live albums though). I don't have this From The Inside album - which band exactly is it credited to?

    Nos. 6-15 (not ranked)

    Killers-Hot Fuss. I'm not too much into Modern Rock, but I dig The Killers. Originally, their sound was a modern take on Synth-Pop/New Wave. So, they sound like a cross between Duran Duran, The Cars, The Cure, and U2. This band is from Las Vegas. Their later albums would incorporate a Heartland Rock influence. I got into this band by checking out the website of Neo-Prog band IQ. Their singer, Peter Nicholls, had their 2008 Day & Age as one of his favorite albums. So, I thought that they were worth investing.

    So lotsa great choices for 2004. I'll stick with my approach to the FF picks & do mine alphabetically - two letters per day/year. There are SO many. Here are the picks for 2004/S-T:
    Schenker-Pattison Summit/The Endless Jam - not a huge Schenker fan myself but this is a good one. Aynsley Dunbar on board
    The Solution/Communicate - good funky rock
    Steel Pulse/African Holocaust - 11th album by this great Reggae band. They have at least 10 very good releases - one of the best Reggae bands around since the late 70's
    Steve Morse/Major Impacts 2 - followup 'tribute' album by this guitar great. Not covers, these are originals done 'in the style of...'. He can really do it all!
    Tea Leaf Green/Living In Between - a SF jam band around since the mid 90's, although here they keep many tracks to less than 5 minutes. They've now bult up a discography of at least 8 fine albums. At their best right there with Goose, Moe., Perpetual Groove, Phish, Psychedelic Breakfast, Umphrey's McGee & Widespread Panic
    HM's: Sense, Seree Lee, Seventh Key, Shadowman, Siena Root, Simon Apple, Steve Fister, Steve Hackett, Stary Cats, Supergrass, Swedish Family, Swirl 360, Syzygy, Tak Matsumoto Group, The Tangent, Tetsuo Sakurai, Thirsty Merc, The Thrills, Todd Rundgren, Tony Carey, Travers & Appice, Trix, The Tubes

    Blast Tyrant. What an awesome rock record. Clutch should have been the 00s Rolling Stones., and The Mob Goes Wild should have been their Satisfaction. But instead the popular opinion decided they liked Nickelback more even though they thought Nickelback was the worst thing ever. And it's not like Clutch didn't have help, they had videos directed by Bam Margera, THE tastemaker for 00s teenagers, and even he couldn't do it. I hate this country sometimes. Blast Tyrant rules. If you don't have it, get it.
