Today is the 31st anniversary of Bad Company’s Holy Water album, which I think isn’t given the recognition it deserves. I think that’s because people think that Bad Company can only be with Paul Rodgers and Brian Howe didn’t get a fair shake with BC. I think Rodgers got that same treatment when he was fronting Queen after Freddie Mercury’s passing. But, this song had some good songs. I picked this version because I can’t get enough of the beer dude delivering his wares in the middle of the first verse. I just find that hilarious. The version is a great version, too. Enjoy!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

“Should have told you by now, but I can’t find the words, oh no. If I could show you somehow, but I don’t have the nerve, oh yeah. You don’t see me looking at you, how can love be so blind? Somehow you don’t notice me, sooner or later there will come a time, baby.” – “If You Needed Somebody” (Howe/Thomas)

Today is the 43rd anniversary of The Cars’ self-titled debut album. This album is great from front to back. Just like yesterday, I was lucky enough to do the VSS show that featured the music of The Cars. I had two songs and both were from this album. Here we are from The Ramkat (note: it’s not the full song). Enjoy!

Today is the 52nd anniversary of the self-titled debut album by Crosby, Stills & Nash. That album has a shload of fantastic tunes. It is #262 on the RS list that matters and #161 on the one that doesn’t, however I think the second one has it more accurate. This is a great cover, enjoy!

Today is the 44th anniversary of the release of The Police’s “Fall Out” single. It’s their first and Andy Summers wasn’t in the band, yet. He was by the time the first album was released in November of 1978. This is a live version of the song from 1980 where Andy Summers was very much a part of the band. Enjoy!

Since tomorrow is “haul” post time and there isn’t anything released today I wanted to highlight, I’m going with Donna Summer’s Bad Girls album that will turn 42 tomorrow. I just like this video, so enjoy!

Today is the 44th anniversary of Supertramp’s Even in the Quietest Moments album. Roger Hodgson is doing this hit with three Berliner siblings. It’s cool. Enjoy!

Today is the 53rd anniversary of Simon & Garfunkel’s most amazing album, Bookends. It’s my favorite of theirs. So many great tunes and, to me, nary a clunker to be found. It was inexplicably ranked at #234 on the RS list that matters and in yet another example of why the new list does NOT matter, it’s absent altogether. Unacceptable. But, the bright side is I never pass up a chance to play a Mike Massé cover. Enjoy!

Today is the 31st anniversary of Bell Biv Devoe’s debut album, Poison. I’ll admit I was a fan of New Edition. I’m a sucker for R&B boy groups, and they were boys. Ronnie, Ricky and Mike were just 16-17 when New Edition released their album with “Cool It Now” and “Mr. Telephone Man.” Bobby went on and did his thing, married arguably (and I would argue it) one of the greatest voices of all time. Ralph went on to have a modest solo career and Johnny came later but did his own thing, too. When Bell Biv Devoe happened, I liked it. Especially this song. The BCPF and I saw BBD at Walt Disney World back in 2013. That same trip we saw Survivor, with both Dave Bickler and Jami Jamison, and .38 Special. Seems like someone else but I can’t think of who. Oh wait! Foreigner. But, anywhat! Here’s a great cover. Enjoy!

“It’s driving me out of my mind. That’s why it’s hard for me to find. Can’t get it outta my head. Miss her, kiss her, love her, wrong move you’re dead. That girl is poison. Never trust a big butt and smile. That girl is poison poison.” – “Poison” (Straite)

Today is the 37th anniversary of The Cars’ Heartbeat City. It’s my second favorite Cars album after the debut. The BCPF, whose birthday it was yesterday, said this was the first cassette she got for her birthday, which would have been her (mumbles under breath) birthday. August 2019, The Vagabond Saints Society performed a series of shows as a tribute to The Cars. Here, my buddy Patrick Ferguson, a/k/a P-Fug, knocks this tune out. Take it away, P-Fug.

Today is the 15th anniversary of David Gilmour’s third solo album, On an Island. I love his voice and his playing. I’m a huge Pink Floyd fan so this is right up my alley. And this version has Crosby and Nash helping him. Enjoy!

“Remember that night, white steps in the moonlight, they walked here too. Through empty playground, this ghosts town. Children again, on rusting swings getting higher. Sharing a dream, on an island, it felt right.” – “On an Island” (Gilmour)
