Yesterday was the 43rd anniversary of KISS’ Destroyer. Probably their most important album (unless you count Alive!). I didn’t even go looking for a cover. I went for the real thing. Enjoy!
Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Today is the 44th anniversary of Steely Dan’s Katy Lied album. It’s not my favorite by them, but it is still a great collection. Here’s Twelve Against Nature doing one of the tunes from the album, enjoy!

“You fellah, you tearin’ up the street. You wear that white tuxedo how you gonna beat the heat? Do you take me for a fool? Do you think that I don’t see? That ditch out in the valley that they’re digging just for me?” – “Bad Sneakers” (Fagen/Becker)

Today is the 46th anniversary of the release of the Doobie Brothers’ The Captain and Me. I have always liked the Doobies. I won’t say I love them, but some of their songs are just too cool. This is one from that album and it’s a pretty cool cover, at that. Enjoy!

“You know I saw Miss Lucy down along the tracks. She lost her home and her family and she won’t be coming back. Without love, where would you be right now?” – “Long Train Runnin'” (Johnston)

I totally missed the 34th anniversary of Tears for Fears’ Songs From The Big Chair yesterday, but I was busy working. So, because I worked all day and am worn out, I’m going to make up for it today by doing a video. It’s a cover of one of my all time favorite songs and it’s by Ninja Sex Party. It’s a pretty groovy cover, too. Enjoy!

“There’s a room where the light won’t find you. Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down. When they do, I’ll be right behind you. So glad we’ve almost made it. So sad they had to fade it. Everybody wants to rule the world.” – “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” (Orzabal/Stanley/Hughes)

Today is the 26th anniversary of the Van Halen Live album, Live: Right Here, Right Now and I thought it was a good album. I saw them on this tour and enjoyed the show. Here’s a band from another country (I’m sorry I don’t know which one) but they recorded their first rehearsal of this tune and here it is. I always liked the song. The timing is a little weird but it’s still good. They did a good job, I think.

“Miss the beat, you lose the rhythm. And nothing falls into place, no. Only missed by a fraction. Slipped a little off your pace, oh.” – “Right Now” (Van Halen/Van Halen/Anthony/Hagar)

Today is the 31st anniversary of The Church’s Starfish album and its most famous tune is done here by the amazing Mike Massé. I never pass up an opportunity to expose Mr. Massé to my friends. Anything he does is always a good version of a song. Enjoy!

“Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty, sound of their breath fades with the light. I think about the loveless fascination. Under the Milky Way tonight.” – “Under the Milky Way” (Kilbey/Jansson)

Today is the 49th anniversary of the release of Chicago II and perhaps its best-known tune is the Robert Lamm penned/Peter Cetera sung “25 or 6 to 4.” I’ve said several times before that I am not a fan of the older Chicago stuff, but this song does rock. This cover is by a Russian/Ukrainian group of dudes. It’s a pretty good rendition, I think. Enjoy!

“Waiting for the break of day. Searching for something to say. Dancing lights against the sky. Giving up I close my eyes. Sitting cross-legged on the floor. 25 or 6 to 4.” – “25 or 6 to 4” (Lamm)

Today is the 38th anniversary of Styx’s Paradise Theatre album. I know this band is as polarizing as it gets. I know people who hate them and people who love them. I’m of the latter mind. One of, if not my favorite Styx song is “Too Much Time on My Hands.” This is Tommy Shaw and Jack Blades doing it at a NAMM show and while they get silly at the end and the video stops, I like the version. So, enjoy!

“Well, I’m so tired of losing- I got nothing to do and all day to do it. Well, I’d go out cruisin’, but I’ve no place to go and all night to get there. Is it any wonder I’m not a criminal? Is it any wonder I’m not in jail? Is it any wonder I’ve got too much time on my hands? It’s ticking away with my sanity. I’ve got too much time on my hands. It’s hard to believe such a calamity. I’ve got too much time on my hands. And it’s ticking away, ticking away from me.” – “Too Much Time on My Hands” (Shaw)

Yesterday was the 48th anniversary of Janis Joplin’s Pearl album. I have never been a huge fan of hers but I like to “imitate” her on this song. It is the last song Janis ever recorded as she died three days later. This young lady does a great job of covering what would have to be my favorite JJ song. Enjoy!

“Oh lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz? My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends. Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends. So lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz?” – “Mercedes Benz” (Joplin/Neuwirth/McClure)

Today is the 40th anniversary of Elvis Costello’s Armed Forces album and here’s celebrating it with a cover, from the back seat of a car, by Dylan Gardner. I will say that I initially thought that he had superimposed his head on someone else’s body, just from the angle he was sitting in the back seat. But, no. Enjoy!
