Today is the 46th anniversary of the self-titled, debut Queen album. And there was really only one hit on the album, so I am posting a live version from 1981. Enjoy!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

“I was told a million times of all the troubles in my way. Mind you grow a little wiser little better every day. But if I crossed a million rivers and I rode a million miles, then I’d still be where I started. Bread and butter for a smile. Well, I sold a million mirrors in a shopping alleyway. But I never saw my face in any window any day. Now they say your folks are telling you ‘be a superstar,’ but I tell you just be satisfied. Stay right where you are.” – “Keep Yourself Alive” (May)

Salutations™!!

Today is the anniversary of several albums, good ones, but this one I picked just because it hit me hard when I was a kid. I had just moved to WSNC (two weeks in) when QRIII from Quiet Riot came out. I was a big fan of the band’s previous two albums, Metal Health and Condition Critical. I understand this didn’t have the same impact on most people and it really didn’t for me, but this one song, being one to have just gotten MTV two weeks prior, I loved this. I love hard rock with keyboards and this was there in abundance. I didn’t even bother looking for a cover as the video rocked my socks. I always loved Rudy Sarzo, but he was gone at this point and Chuck Wright was in. So, happy 33rd-anniversary QRIII. Enjoy!!

Today is the 28th anniversary of Joni Mitchell’s Blue. It’s #30 on the RS list. It’s a great album, although I’ll admit I can only take so much Joni at one time. Again, a great album. Usually, I try to find a cover of a song from the album but here’s a lovely young lady named Morgan James who covers the whole album. So, enjoy!

“See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight. Heads turning as the lights flashing out are so bright. And walk right out to the four line track. There’s a camera rolling on her back, on her back. And I sense a rhythm humming in a frenzy
All the way down her spine. Girls on film.” – “Girls on Film” (Taylor/Taylor/Bates/Taylor/Le Bon)

No, it’s not 3B’s graduation day, but 30 years ago today I walked the stage to get my diploma. This song, which I was always indifferent to was #1 this week 30 years ago. Enjoy the cheese, y’all.

So, today is Spirits of Summer downtown WSNC and I’ve had way too much wine. And in honor of that, here I offer up a cover of the Neil Diamond tune. I picked this because of the guy in the mom jeans. Enjoy!

Until tomorrow, I’m drying out…

Today is the 31st anniversary of Van Halen’s second Sammy album, OU812. I always like that album. I’m a synth fan so synthy VH is good VH to me. I couldn’t find a decent cover so instead, I picked the guy who was actually singing here.

Today is the 40th anniversary of David Bowie’s Lodger album. An album that was mostly panned by critics and such. But, this is a great cover of “Fantastic Voyage.” AV Club comes through with Shearwater’s awesome cover (they did the whole Lodger album)! Enjoy!
