Friday and the Random 10 (Boston Manhunt Edition)

So as I rolled out of bed hung over this morning I had no idea of what was going on in Boston. Apparently one man down, one to go as I type this. So to keep our minds on more positive things for now, let's play with the gods of randomness. The rules are over there as a link to your right, along with any other awards and trivia. Let's roll!

1) Led Zeppelin/Whole Lotta Love - Good stuff, but I'm not as enamored with them as most people are. Album cover winner too.

2) Aerosmith/Dream On - Dang, two classics right out of the box. And aren't they from Boston?

3) Kansas/End of the Age - Nice sounding song from an album no one ever listened to, Drastic Measures.

4) Asia/Ride Easy - Demo for their second album that didn't make the cut but appears on Anthologia.

5) Rick Wakeman/The Spider Crab - RW! Apparently this is his album about things that you would find on a beach.

6) Styx/Heavy Metal Poisoning - Sung by JY and one of the more interesting songs on the Kilroy Was Here album things that brought us Mr. Roboto. Chills...

7) Yes/America - I recently did a post about this song. This is some random live version though. I've got to go clear out all these live versions of stuff one day.

8) Journey/Look Into the Future - Some great early Journey before SP. This is that early 70's jazz fusion kind of rock that I spoke about before. I love the first few Journey albums.

9) Rush/Need Some Love - From their debut album before they got all progressive. Not that I'm complaining.

 10) AC/DC/Skies on Fire - Anything by them is awesome.

Take a look at the bands that popped up this week. All of them legends in one way or the other (yes, even RW). No riff raff in this countdown. Wait, what about the STCS? Here goes: Jon & Vangelis/Polonaise. Well Jon was in Yes and Vangelis did that Chariots of Fire thing so I'll let them slide. Wimpy song though.

Enough of that, play us out Neal Schon and company!
