🎤🎸🎵🎹🥁
Life is better with music
My pick for today is my favourite release from 2004 - Funeral by Arcade Fire. Fresh, creative and exciting. Saw them on the final date of the Neon Bible tour at Alexandra Palace, London and they were magnificently chaotic in the best way since Cardiacs.
Terrific choice, Mick. I went with it a couple of days ago.

Day 10
My pick for today is:
Joe Louis Walker
“New Direction”
Joe Louis Walker is an American blues musician known from his electric blues. His knowledge came from his use of older playing styles. If you define these characteristics with flexible feeling allusion of other guitarist like Robert Cray and Larry Garner are new breeds. There blues music blending ideas and devices of soul rock jazz and gospel beyond the reach of there forerunners. He came from a musical background. First picking up the guitar at a young age. He became good friends with Mike Bloomfield until Bloomfield death. He got himself a degree in music and English. He played with well known blues musicians. Walker relieved his third blues award in 1996. In 2013 Walker was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame.
Hey Mel. Never heard of your pick sounds interesting though! Great write up too
Good pick melanie good guitarist and singer good story i didnt know he made the blues hall of fame.
Hi Melanie. Never heard of your pick, but the write up is very interesting.
Added to the list Melanie.

This cool EP that was released in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Lee/Lifeson/Peart lineup has some really great songs on it, including The Who’s The Seeker and the old classic Summertime Blues. I do wish it could’ve been longer but it’s cool for what it is.
0:30 pick #10
My pick: Motörhead - Inferno
#10 Megadeth "The System Has Failed"
Great pick.
Great call Pete! Excellent album, superb playing top to bottom. Love Helmet of Gnats. Until I saw you hold up the CD I immediately thought you might have been referring to Helmet with Page Hamilton and company!
Today’s favorite 2004 pick is LIONHEART by SAXON. I’ve noticed that many have picked this album already and for good reason. This is an excellent heavy metal outing for this band. Here’s the song breakdown.
“Witchfinder General”: In England there was a real life witch hunter by the name of Matthew Hopkins who flourished during the English Civil War. He was responsible for the hanging of 112 women who he claimed were witches between 1645 and 1647. Vincent Price portrayed him to great effect in the 1968 movie by the same name. Saxon gives this song the appropriate heavy metal head pounding rocker for the occasion. Grade A
“Man and Machine” Is a hard driving rocker with some nice guitar riffing. Biff Byford’s singing is dynamic. Grade A-
“The Return” is a haunting composition using synthesizers and an eerie sounding choir.
“Lionheart” If you’re not paying attention, then you won’t realize that this tune kicks in without a break and that you’re not hearing “The Return” any more. Lionheart is a well-paced anthemic rocker that almost has enough composition changes in it to qualify as prog…But not quite. Grade A
“Beyond the Grave” is a heavy metal song with a cool change of pace thrown in to keep you on your toes and your interest. Grade A
“Justice” is a great fast paced rocker that is in my “Goldilocks Zone” not too fast and not too slow…Not too hard and not too soft. Grade A
“To Live by the Sword” I’m labelling this number as thrash. It’s a very fast paced metal with machine gun fire drumming. Grade B
“Jack Tars” Is a nice acoustic guitar number and is a nice respite from the above composition. This is so short that I qualify it as a palate cleanser. No Grade.
“English Man-o-War” is a furious heavy metal rocker. Grade A-
“Searching for Atlantis” has a bit of a spooky opening in the beginning that launches this composition into the meat of another great heavy metal tune. There is some admirable guitar work to hear in this song. Grade A
“Flying on the Edge” is a hard pounding metal song with an effective chorus. This may be my favorite composition on this album. Grade A
In closing, out of the24 studio albums produced by Saxon, I would place this recording in the top 3 or 4.
Album cumulative grade total is A
Nice pick, Andy! Saxon have so many albums that I need to add this to the list. I checked out a few songs from your Witchcraft selection yesterday. Very retro sounding and I enjoyed it.
I selected Wicked Minds' For The Purple Skies. Check out the title track. Its Italian Deep Purple lol
Howdy everybody. I'm on vacation in Ocean City N.J. I'll be here for 6 days with family.
I'll answer comments as best I can when time allows.
@@tomp8463 I'm glad that you liked it Tom. All the rest of Witchcraft's albums sound modern. The album that you listened to yesterday is their debut. It was recorded in somebody's basement.
Hi Andy, great write-up and track rundown! Not one of my absolute favourite Saxon albums, but easily in their top 10. Let me know if you can't see my pick today. Only Melanie has replied and that was after a slight edit and a 2nd attempt at sending!
No. 10. The Zutons - Who Killed...The Zutons? 😃👍. Cool debut album! When I first got it, the CD came signed by the band. Garage, jangle, and folk blend in a fun and fabulous way. "Got The Zuton Fever in my head." Rock Always! - Heather
Great album! Will be on my list later this month.
Excellent choice Heather - this was my pick on day 3.
@@harizonflamingice3167 Thanks! 😃👍⭐.
@@bryanbyrde8338 Thanks, Bryan! 😃👍⭐.
#10 - "Blast Tyrant" by Clutch.
Hi Arnie. Don’t know much about your pick. I’ll have to try them
Hopes and Fears by Keane
Released in May 2004 by Island Records, Hopes and Fears is the debut studio album by the piano-driven British band Keane. The album rapidly garnered warm critical notices and titanic commercial success (it is certified platinum nine times over in England), establishing the band as a significant chart presence in the early 2000s. Characterized by sweet melodies and introspective lyrics, the album features such standout songs as "Somewhere Only We Know," "Everybody's Changing," and "Bedshaped” and showcases vocalist Tom Chaplin's tender vocals and Tim Rice-Oxley's intricate piano performances. This is tasteful and emotive adult pop music of the highest order, à la Midge Ure-era Ultravox.
Choice cuts: “Bend and Break,” “Bedshaped”
Prior 2004 selections -
Antics by Interpol
A Grand Don't Come for Free by the Streets
How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb by U2
Madvillainy by Madvillain
Witchcraft by Witchcraft
Excellent pick, David. Coming up for me too.
Superb pick David, I think every man and his dog bought this in the UK including myself, there playing Glastonbury this summer.
Great choice and review, David.
#10 White Willow, Storm season. From Norway, a blend of art rock and prog and Jazz. This is the sort of relaxing music I enjoy after blasting metal all day. Smoke a joint and relax to. Singer Sylvia Erichsen has a calming voice.
Fantastic choice
Hi Pete. Dave here. Need to check out your pick. Mine today is ONCE by NIGHTWISH. Symphonic metal from Finland. This is the album that got me into the band, although I didn't see them live until the Dark Passion Play tour. The use of orchestra and choir on the album is mesmerising. Favourite tracks the opener Dark Chest of Wonders (a live staple), the Native American themed Creek Mary's Blood, and the prog epic Ghost Love Score.
Hi Dave. Awesome pick
@@melaniethurber5117 Thanks, Melanie.
Cool pick Dave. I have a friend who turned me on the Nightwish years ago. I believe this was the album that he played me. Tarja Turenen's voice is incredible.
Hi Dave, my pick back on day 1, classic album!
@@christophercoles4401 Thanks, Chris. I agree about Tarja - forgot to mention her.
My top 15 of 2004
10-Lamb of God-Ashes of the Wake
11-Machine Head-Through the Ashes of Empire
12-Amon Amarth-Fate of Norms
13-Exodus-Tempo of the Damned
14-Mercenary-11 Dreams
15-The Ocean-Fluxion
Great list so far. Ashes came out in 03 and that one would've been top 3 for me that year.
@@tomp8463everything I’ve read says August of 2004. As the Palaces Burn was 03.
@@tomp8463Machine Head was international released in 03, but it’s US release was in 2004
@@kevinm5957 , thanks. I bet I purchased the international version because they released Seasons Wither later on. I know they had issues with finding a new label after Supercharger bombed and they nearly broke up as a result.
I honestly forgot about that
#10: Lionheart by Saxon
#11: Inferno by Motorhead
#12: Leviathan by Mastodon
#13: The System Has Failed by Megadeth
#14: Madvillainy by Madvillain
#15: Slavery Suite by Tubman Atnimara
10. Wicked Minds - From The Purple Skies
Favorite Tracks: From The Purple Skies, Rising Above, The Elephant Stone, Forever My Queen (Pentagram cover). They also have an 18 minute track closer called "Return To Uranus" LOL
11. Clutch - Blast Tyrant
12. Ayeron - Human Equation
13. Dillinger Escape Plan - Miss Machine
14. Shadows Fall - The War Within
15. Death Angel - The Art of Dying
Great call, also on my List
Really good album.
Hey Tom. I don't know your pick.
If you ever have to say the word Uranus in a conversation, it's pronounced with a soft "a'' as in the word apple. That's the correct pronunciation and not embarrassing to use in a conversation at all.
My picks are in no particular order. My pick #6 is Arcade Fire : Funeral.
My choice today from 2004 is THE RAGING FIRE by SEVENTH KEY. This is a side project/band put together by Kansas bass player Billy Greer, reuniting him with his old Streets cohort, guitarist and multi instrumentalist Mike Slamer. This is the 2nd of 3 studio albums released under the Seventh Key name. The first had various members of Kansas guesting and felt a little disjointed if still a fine effort and a must hear for Kansas and AOR fans in general. However, this feels more of a band album and has a much greater focus. Billy as well as playing bass, provides lead vocals on all 10 tracks and at times sounds, to my ears, uncannily like Tommy Shaw. Indeed straight ahead rockers like, The Sun Will Rise, Sin City (not an AC/DC cover) and Run could almost be unheard Tommy Shaw Damn Yankees songs especially with Mike Slamer playing up a veritable storm, as he does throughout. Elsewhere, You Cross The Line has a quiet/loud feel like Juke Box Hero, a trick repeated on the title track which this time could be a long lost Tommy Shaw Styx song from the 70s. Always From The Heart is a great uptempo AOR track. Pyramid Princess as the title suggests has that Eastern feel and wouldn't sound out of place with Dio singing it for Rainbow or his own band. An Ocean Away is like U2 meets AOR, if you can imagine such a thing. It Should Have Been You is the set's big ballad and the album climaxes with the epic Winds of War, a huge prog tinged heavy rock track reflecting on the futility of war and how hatred is often passed down through generations. Whilst Seventh Key was purely conceived as a side project, this and all 3 plus the live album come highly recommended to melodic rock fans.
Hi Jerry. Interesting pick and article
Hi Jerry, this a fantastic album that (a) I haven't listened to in ages and (b) I totally missed when putting my list together!! I think my pick today wasn't showing for some reason, but uve tweaked it and Melanie has now replied so hopefully it's visible to everyone now...
Nice - coming up for me as well - love all the Seventh Key albums
@@timdoggart6787 Thank you Tim.
@@iainhead9898 Thanks Iain. I'll now take a look this morning.
10. Inferno - Motorhead
#10- Morrissey - You Are the Quarry
Great return of a giant. After 7 years he recorded this album that I bought at the time with high expectations. My favorite songs are the ones that rotated on rock radio in 2004: "Irish Blood, English Heart" and "First of the Gang to Die"
Albums That Are 20 Years Old in 2024, #15
#10- Morrissey - You Are the Quarry
#11- Danger Mouse - The Grey Album
#12- Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus
#13- Loretta Lynn - Van Lear Rose
#14 - Wilco - A ghost is born
#15- - Interpol - Antics
Great pick, the follow up Ringleader of the Tormentors was pretty good as well.
Magenta - Seven, the second album by the Welsh progressive rock band.
Excellent pick, Mike. Mine too a couple of days ago.
Coming for me, too - their best album, in my opinion - or at least close to it
#10. Anthem - Eternal Warrior
highlights: “Onslaught” “Omega man”
Good Pick
Nice pick Joel.
Only recently started listening to much fusion music, but I will definitely be trying this one. My choice today...
No introduction needed, I'm sure Nightwish - Once.
Pick #10: Killswitch Engage's The End of Heartache. I'm a bit hit or miss on some metalcore bands, to be honest, though I think in the 2000s most of them are still pretty good and Killswitch Engage is one of the more respectable ones.
#15: Within Temptation's The Silent Force
#14: Incubus's A Crow Left of the Murder
#13: Franz Ferdinand's Franz Ferdinand
#12: Modest Mouse's Good News For People Who Love Bad News
#11: My Chemical Romance's Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge
#10: Killswitch Engage's The End of Heartache

Interpol's Antics
Lenny Kravitz' Baptism
Wilco's A Ghost is Born
Arcade Fire's Funeral
Rise Against's Siren Song of the Counter Culture
I am into select bands from the scene and this is one of them. Great choice.
Great pick. Later on my list.
Hello Pete and everyone. Today’s selection is the debut album from a pop rock band that achieved great commercial success:
The Killers - Hot Fuss
This album sold particularly well in the UK, largely propelled by the popularity of its 4 hit singles (Mr Brightside, Somebody Told Me, All These Things That I’ve Done and Smile Like You Mean It). Apart from these obvious highlights, there are also some fine deep cuts on here, including Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine, On Top and Change Your Mind.
Nos. 6-15 (not ranked)
Elliott Smith - From A Basement On The Hill
Heart - Jupiters Darling
The Zutons - Who Killed…..The Zutons?
Air - Talkie Walkie
Kings Of Leon - Aha Shake Heartbreak
Hi Bryan. Awesome pick and article

@@bengalgangster That’s fair enough, my friend. At the time, I liked the singles but didn’t think of them as any more than an OK band. I have grown to appreciate them more in later years.
Wow it's hard to believe that it is that old and this is a really awesome

Clutch- Blast Tyrant
Great pick… Easily my #1
10. My Dying Bride - Songs Of Darkness, Words Of Light
11. Green Day - American Idiot
12. Amon Amarth - The Fate Of Norns
13. Social Distortion - Sex, Love and Rock ‘n’ Roll
14. Lamb Of God - Ashes Of The Wake
15. Esoteric - Subconscious Dissolution Into The Continuum
Day 10: Isis - Panopticon
Day 11: Marillion - Marbles
Day 12: Derek Sherinian - Mythology
Day 13: Paatos - Kallocain
Day 14: Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Of Natural History
Day 15: Orphaned Land - Mabool: The Story of the Three Sons of Seven
Great pick. Much later on my list.
10. Razorlight - Up All Night
Of all the early 00s UK garage punk bands that popped up in the wake of The Strokes, Razorlight is probably the least cool. Johnny Borrell has the kind of punchable face where you have to consciously unball your fists any time you see him in a video. It also doesn't help that after they lost their great drummer after their first album, the band sucked rotten eggs. However, I still love this debut. I love it so much I even tracked down all the B-sides to the singles, including a cover of "Hey Ya." While The Clash-worshipping Libertines were more popular, I preferred Razorlight's homage to early CBGBs sounds of the Patti Smith Group, the Heartbreakers and the Voidoids. And then there's "Golden Touch," their underrated crown jewel.
11. Wilco - A Ghost Is Born
12. Isis - Panopticon
13. Interpol - Antics
14. Electric Wizard - We Live
15. Tom Waits - Real Gone
🤣🤣🤣 I couldn't agree more Johnny Borrell fast became a hate figure due to his arrogance, a great album at the time nonetheless.
Day 6: The Steepwater Band - Dharmakaya
Day 5: Antibalas - Who Is This America?
Day 4: The Libertines - The Libertines
Day 3: Gov't Mule - Deja Voodoo
Day 2: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Abattoir Blues/The Lyre Of Orpheus
Day 1: Drive-By Truckers - The Dirty South
Great pick. I love The Steepwater Band.
Hellfire Club- Edguy
ACID MOTHERS AND GONG: Good to see this album featuring on SOT. Lyrically and musically the combined forces of Gong and Acid Mothers reminds of Gong’s brilliant Camembert Electrique. Makototen is outstanding and Supercotton bonkers but so Gong. Incidentally, 19 years later My Guitar is a Spaceship from their 2023 release is one of the best Gong tracks period.
Hi Shaun. Interesting pick and article
Tiles-Window Dressing. I bought this cd from Tower Records when it first came out. They're a quartet from Detroit. I believe that their name is from the Led Zeppelin song Out On The Tiles. They remind me of Rush. They got Terry Brown to produce, and Hugh Syme to do the cover. Hugh even plays keyboards on a song Slippers In The Snow, which is a melodic tune. Matthew Parmenter from Discipline plays violin on a ballad called Tear-Water Tea and the instrumental Unicornicopia.
May makeup for days missed.. Obscure and Underrated Album.. 20. Brian Jones Ma**acre "Give It Back" (1997)
Modern Day Psychedelic Rock.. I really love this album.. Highlight songs are all in a row.. "Super-Sonic" .., "This Is Why You Love Me" (that is a fantastic little song that can't get out of head when you hear it.. Should've been on the radio but these bands weren't forced fed on the radio) .., "Satellite" ., And two songs that go together "Malela" and "Salaam".. But the album is Psychedelic Modern but in the classic sense.. This is most likely their most accessable album of their catalogue as they can get really weird at times.. If you love that sorta thing (Syd Barrett comes to mind) then recommend check out other albums by them.. Sure a lot of people here will get the satire of the band name (2 combined into 1).. Highly Recommended..
Can yoi post a song at SS?

Started out on drums but picked up the guitar once he heard the stones also influenced by Hendrix And Cream. This being his 12th official cd this recording for Blind Pig was a little more social minded and political than previous cds but still brings the Popa Chubby blues swagger.

Really, really late posting today, but never mind. It's IQ with 'Dark Matter' for me today - great album by the UK proggers. 'Sacred Sound', 'Red Dust Shadow' and the lengthy album closer, 'Harvest of Souls' are amongst the best things IQ have done, IMHO. Must have a look at 'Helmet of Gnats' - have heard them recommended on the channel before, but never checked them out.

Great band, Tim, one of the neo-prog veterans alongside Marillion and Pallas that are still going...
Nice concise feature Tim, I do know something of IQ's music and it is good, solid UK prog.
Sounds interesting for sure. My #10: Going with the 13th album from a great Rock duo who have been making great music since the 70s, and this album is a very strong one. They still sound great. Talking about Heart - Jupiter's Darling

What kind of music is Dirty South?
Hi Charlie. I’ve heard of your pick and listen to them before but I need to give them a re listen.
@@tomp8463 I'd say a mix of Southern Rock, Rock and Country Rock.
@@melaniethurber5117 Hey Melanie, I think you'd enjoy this album.
Listened to a few tracks. I enjoyed it.
#10. ALELA DIANE - The Pirate's Gospel
11. GREY DELISLE - The Graceful Ghost
12. ELLIOTT SMITH - From A Basement On The Hill
Hey there everyone, day 6 it is, and my pick today sees me squarely back at the AOR end of the musical spectrum, and it's the 6th and penultimate studio album by a Norwegian band who enjoyed major success in their home country, and dabbled outside of it, have enjoyed a minor hit ir two in the US and elsewhere.
STAGE DOLLS "Get A Life"
A three piece band fronted by band mainman Torstein Flakne on lead vocals and guitars, with Terje Storti on bass and Morten Skogstad on drums.
Simply put, this is basic (in a good way), summertime, driving with the top down pop rock, in the vein of Bryan Adams at his best, Def Leppard at their simplest or even, dare I say it, B*n J*vi minus the poodle perms. In a nutshell, fun, undemanding stuff, perfect for kicking back at the beach with a beer.
Songs, well, there are 11 of them, and the titles say it all really- Running Back To You, You're The One, Everybody Wanna R&R, 24/7, Summertime Ladies... nuff said really!
Their earlier albums are good too, in more or less the same vein, Commandos, Stage Dolls and Stripped are all well worth getting if you like this sort of thing!
Hi Iain. Interesting article and pick.
@@melaniethurber5117 Thanks Melanie, at least I know it's there!
@@iainhead9898 your welcome Iain
Never heard of them, Iain, but sound worth checking out from your description
@@timdoggart6787 Thanks Tim!
My Pick today is Mercenary - 11 Dreams!!
Day 6 my 10th favourite album, Im going with Duran Duran Astronaut
Today I'm going with "The Beast With Two Backs" from the English gothic rock/pagan band Inkubus Sukkubus.
Death From About 1979 - You're a Woman, I'm a Machine
#10 Fates Warning - FWX
#11 Velvet Revolver - Contraband
#12 Alter Bridge - One Day Remains
#13 Nightingale - Invisible
#14 Marillion - Marbles
#15 Drive-By Truckers - The Dirty South
Hi Debbie. Never heard of your pick. Interesting list
@@melaniethurber5117 Thank you, Melanie.
Great choice and excellent list so far, Debbie.
hey deb, i havnt heard it , not much of a fates warning fan💜💜
Electric Frankenstein ... Dead and Back
Electric Frankenstein ... We Will Bury You!
Electric Frankenstein is a glorious of metal/hard rock/punk combined conceived in a garage. No bloody ballads to be found here.
They had two releases in 2004.
Dead and Back is a collection of their contributions to two split albums, one with the Supersuckers, the other with El Nada. Plus, an EP they had recently put out. All great stuff, be sure you are strapped in.
Their other 2004 album is a two-CD collection of cover songs they usually contributed to various tribute albums over the years. The list usually alternates between punk acts and heavy metal/hard rock/classic rock all in the Electric Frankenstein style. Among the bands covered are:
AC/DC
Circle Jerks
Girlschool
Dead Kennedys
Fleetwood Mac
Dead Boys
Motorhead
New York Dolls
Iron Maiden
DRI
The Tubes
The Clash
Aerosmith
Misfits
And more...
If somehow you have not heard any of the numerous Electric Frankenstein albums, you are probably cheating yourself.
Respected pick with Helmet Of Gnats, Pete.
My picks so far ....
1) Glenn Hughes ... Soulfully Live in the City of Angels
2) The Mooney Suzuki ... Alive & Amplified
3) The Donnas ... Gold Medal
4) Southern Culture On The Skids .... Mojo Box
5) Acid Mothers Temple ... Mantra of Love
6) Electric Frankenstein ... Dead and Back/We Will Bury You!
Saxon Lionheart . Not their best, but still good Saxon . Title cut is excellent
my pick today is
eagles of death metal
"peace love death metal
the band is not a death metal band and they considered the band title a joke
there are 2 full time members jesse hughes and josh homme [ queens of the stone age and formed the supergroup "them crooked vultures"
they blend garage, hard, alternative, blues and rockabilly
at times i hear rolling stones vibes
cheers
Excellent article, bengal. I am not familiar with this band, but I know Josh Home. I will give this album a listen. 🎶💜💜
Hi Bengal. I’ve heard of this band and some of their music. I’ll have to check them out again.
Hey buddy. I don’t know any of this band’s music - I haven’t been tempted to check them out in the past because of their name! 😮
It sounds as though they would certainly be worth a listen.
@@weirddebbiem1619 hey thanx , hope you like it💜💜
@@melaniethurber5117 hey mel im surprised lol

My pick for today: Wilco-A Ghost is Born.
My pick yesterday!
Hi Rick. Never heard of your pick.
@@melaniethurber5117 Wilco is kind of an alt rock band, well known in the 90's. Brace yourself. I have more weird ones coming up.
@@rickmay6932 oh no…. Lol
My day 6 favorite 20 year old album is The Watch - Vacuum.
1. Buckethead - Population Overide
2. Big Big Train - Gathering Speed
3. Happy the Man - The Muse Awakens
4. Brian Wilson - Smile
5. Ayreon - The Human Equation
6. The Watch - Vacuum
Today`s pick: Paatos - "Kallocain". Even though they`re a Scandinavian progressive rock band with ex members of Landberk, this album has more in common with British Trip-hop bands like Portishead and Massive Attack. The prog is still there though, with heavy use of mellotron, organ, and guitar, making for an interesting mix of styles that I think works well. Most of this is laid back with a big dose of melancholy and gloom in true Scandinavian prog fashion. Excellent vocals that bring to mind Beth Gibbons or even Julee Cruise. If you combined parts of White Willow, Anekdoten, Portishead, and Massive Attack, you might get something like this album.
Hi Jeffrey. Unfamiliar with your pick today but interesting article
@@melaniethurber5117 Thanks, Melanie
Ok this is a new one for me.
Sometines I just wonder when you pick a band name do you ever think about the market side of music?
I get the lets be cute. But really !
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/K-L:
Korenos/Asian Street Style - quality Japanese fusion
The Ladder/Future Miracles - very good AOR album, a Steve Overland project (FM, Groundbreaker, Lonerider, Shadowman, Wildlife)
Little Feat/Highwire Act Live In St. Louis In St. Louis 2003 (released in 2004). Their fifth live album, an 18(!) minute "Dixie Chicken" & 12 minute "Fat Man In The Bathtub". Great live version of "Time Loves A Hero". There's also Barnstormin' Live Vol. 1 & 2, much of it recorded this same year (but released in 2005). Vol 2 contains many LF 'standards' while Vol 1 focuses on the lesser-known tracks. There's also a box set available that combines both of these live sets
Living Loud - s/t & Live In Sydney 2004 - what a lineup! You've got Steve Morse, Lee Kerslake, Bob Daisley & Don Airey, plus Cold Chisel's Jimmy Barnes. Short-lived project, these two releases were it. Some Ozzy covers plus originals, the split is 50/50. Really interesting to hear Morse play those classic Randy Rhoads riffs
HM's: Karmakanic, Karnataka, Kozo Suganuma
Hi Wolf, love your picks of The Ladder and Living Loud. Both coming up for me too later.
Today i go with A New Day Dawning by Siena Root.
No 4fusion friday this week ?

Stereolab - Margerine Eclipse
Great pick. Cosmic Country Noir is a classic. On my list also.
10>Danzig "Circle Of Snakes"
Fates WARNING ⚠️/0️⃣4️⃣. Pete,thank you for your time 👍💯
FWX
Awesome Gary was my choice yesterday
@@logancollins7097 / you got it my friend. Enjoy!!! 👍💯
Listening to Timeslip by Helmut of Gnats now! Wow everything you said! Thank you Pete! Instant winner lol! And thank you so much for your consistent new album reviews which are priceless and so helpful for music geeks like me! I do mean geek in a very positive way, I am so glad you have your channel Pete, it amazes me more aren’t here quite yet. Maybe if it wasn’t for folks like me describing their taste as a tiny bit nerdly, this would go away lol! Oh well let’s just say we all share eclectic taste which has so much enriched our lives year after year! In terms of you mentioning diversity vs adversity in your rap the other month, I would say diversity is key to everything in music we resonate with - so many cultural influences to varying degrees inform my taste, yet I am far from DEI in terms of political approach lol!
Hi Glen. I don’t know much about your pick but interesting article
Thank you Melanie so much !
Rockin' the Rhein with the Grateful Dead
My Day 6 Pick:
Probot (self-titled)
Dave Grohl's star-studded one-off metal side project. My favorite on here is probably "My Tortured Soul," featuring late former Trouble front man Eric Wagner.
Eric Clapton - Me and Mr Johnson
This is his 15th studio album and a fine tribute to Robert Johnson, featuring some great renditions of his work including "Travelling Riverside Blues" "Come on in My Kitchen" and "Little Queen of Spades"
Hi Andrew. Fantastic pick and article. He’s coming up on my list also.
Great pick andy claptons always been one of my favorites especially when he plays the blues. I got him on my list later.

#10 Sum 41 - Chuck
Chuck is Sum 41's third full-length album, and shows the band at their darkest and heaviest. This album almost completely breaks off from their traditional Pop Punk Green Day-inspired sound in favor of a heavier Metal sound.
The album begins with the track simply titled "Intro", with these dark guitar strums that slowly build upon themselves before totally letting loose on the transition into the incredible "No Reason". This track shows the band still going for their traditional Punk sound, but hitting it just a little heavier. This is one of the highlights of the album before going into the very chaotic and intense banger "We're All To Blame", which is the first moment on the record that goes for a more Heavy Metal sound. The track jumps from those chaotic and nasty riffs and slowly transitions to a slower, more melodic sound.
"Angels With Dirty Faces" is a dark track that lyrically deals with addiction, which was something lead singer Deryck Whibley was struggling with at the time. Instrumentally it's another banger with Thrash Metal drums and riffs. Another highlight of the album is "I'm Not The One", which is an all-out slammer. The slow build-up in the intro on the hi-hat before adding in the ride cymbal, and then the guitars slowly coming in until the track just completely explodes is just such an incredible moment on the record. The ballad "Pieces" is easily a classic. The very dark and mellow guitar tones, the very subtle but Grand synths in the beginning of the song, and Deryck's very vulnerable and broken vocals perfectly complete the track.
Overall, Chuck is easily one of the heaviest and darkest albums in Sum 41's discography. With many political contents in the lyrics, this record shows Sum 41 with a well-developed sound, while still displaying their Punk angst. This is their masterpiece.
Favorite Tracks:
"No Reason"
"We're All To Blame"
"Angels With Dirty Faces"
"I'm Not The One"
"Pieces"
#10 Sum 41 - Chuck
#11 Iced Earth - The Glorious Burden

#13 Blues Explosion - Damage
#14 Within Temptation - The Silent Force

Hi Chris, never heard this as I'm not really a fan of that pop punk thing, but if this is less that abd more metal I could be tempted to give it a bash if I were to be in the mood!
@@iainhead9898 Hey Iain. I don't know if Sum 41 would be your cup of tea, but this is their heaviest album and it has some impressive riffage.
