This past Thursday was the 47th anniversary of Led Zeppelin IV (Zoso) which I believe is still my favorite Zep album. In honor, I went to find a good cover and Amy Lee (of Evanescence) did a great job of this tune. Enjoy!

Today is the 45th anniversary of Hall & Oates’ Abandoned Luncheonette album. And whilst searching for a cover of “She’s Gone,” I came across a shload of covers for Steelheart’s song called “She’s Gone.” This one got a lot of “reaction videos” made and I had to give it a listen, then I couldn’t pass up playing it. Sorry, Daryl and John. I have to admit, I love the original and still do, but this is pretty righteous… or not. You decide and enjoy!

“She’s gone out of my life. I was wrong. I’m to blame. I was so untrue. I can’t live without her love. In my life. There’s just an empty space. All my dreams are lost. I’m wasting away. Forgive me, girl.” – “She’s Gone” (Matijevic)

Today is the 36th anniversary of Prince’s breakthrough album, 1999. Yes, he had albums prior and he was kind of known for them but 1999 was the one that broke him mainstream. And, yes, Purple Rain threw him to the top, but this started it. Far from its greatest hit, this is still a good representation of the album.

Today is the 46th anniversary of Genesis’ Foxtrot album. I have always made it clear that I am a huge Peter Gabriel fan and I’m a Genesis fan. But, I’m not a huge fan of Peter Gabriel-era Genesis. It’s a good album, just not my thing. Here’s a video of the lead track off the album. Enjoy!

Today was the 41st anniversary of Billy Joel’s The Stranger album and it’s one of my faves by him, if not the fave. So, for today, here’s a really cool cover of what is probably my favorite Billy song (at least currently) and it’s done by a senior class at Kennebunk High School back in what looks like 2010. There were a couple of hiccups but it’s pretty fantastic. Enjoy!

Today is the 20th anniversary of KISS’ Psycho Circus album, as you know from my post yesterday. So, today I went looking for a respectable cover version and the first one I came across was my favorite of about five or six that I watched. This girl can sing! There was another with a KISS tribute band in Brazil and another with some goofy youngsters with a slightly-older overweight singer that did okay but this from Dorset was the best, to me. Happy anniversary PC and enjoy, Dear Reader!

Tomorrow is the 33rd anniversary of the KISS album, Asylum. So, for today I chose a cover of the album’s biggest hit, “Tears Are Falling.” This is done by a YouTuber named MrSonorbakken and I don’t have a clue what that means. I looked at other cover versions of this song to play here but this is by far the best. The only thing I have a problem with is that the song drags a bit. I know the original wasn’t any thrash song but this seems a bit slow. His voice and instrumentation are great. I could use a little more emotion, though. Anyway, it’s a pretty good cover. Enjoy!

This past week marked the 36th Anniversary of Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel. If you’re wondering which PG it was, it was what we later know as Security although it was never actually called that. But, being as the first four albums were all called Peter Gabriel we had to distinguish them somehow. Anywhat! Here’s a cover of this album’s most popular tune by the band Underfloor. I think it’s a pretty darn good version, especially since they’re a 3-piece. I hope you enjoy!

You knew it was coming, right? We’re in Boston so the Sounds Like Saturday for this week had to be a Boston tune. Also, the cover is the work of one of my favorite YouTubers, Mike Massé (with Jenny Oaks Baker on violin). Enjoy! Oh! And happy would-be 85th birthday to my father-in-law, David Hess. I wish I had known you.

“So many people have come and gone. Their faces fade as the years go by. Yet, I still recall as I wander on. As clear as the sun in the summer sky. It’s more than a feeling when I hear that old song they used to play. And, I begin dreaming ’til I see Marianne walk away.” – “More Than a Feeling” (Sholtz)

As you can tell, it’s late and I just remembered I hadn’t written anything today. That usually means that you’re getting a video and that’s what you’re getting tonight. I’m about to watch the documentary about John Coltrane called Chasing Trane and I figured I’d share with you some of his stuff. Well, there’s not a lot of (good quality) live videos with him that are under 20 minutes long. I did find this pretty awesome version of Trane with Miles Davis doing “So What” back in 1959. So, enjoy this.
