Friday and the Random 10 (Am I Still Cool? Edition)

Yes I know it has been awhile. Blame the holidays folks. Things will get back to "normal" probably sometime in January. Oh well, here's some music:


********************************************************************************


Okay so we still have a few names on the naughty list here. I'll set them free if they can make it through this countdown. And as usual, the rules and whatnot are up there ↑ at the top near the home tab.


********************************************************************************

Turn me loose!

1) The Bee Gees/Guilty (Their Greatest Hits) - I'm totally not apologizing for this one. And is that Barbara Streisand I hear?


Everything All The Time, but not this time Styx

2) Anathema/Scars of the Old Stream (Resonance) - Well this one was slightly creepy. Not quite an IALA moment this time.

3) Yes/Going for the One (The Ultimate Yes) - One of the rocking-est songs they ever did. This is from yet another compilation album of theirs with a new bread crumb of a bonus track thrown in to get you to buy it. Dang, it worked.

4) Apollo 440/Liquid Cool (Millennium Fever) - This is one of my saving graces of funkiness and coolness.

5) Red Hot Chili Peppers/No Chump Love Sucker (The Uplift Mofo Party Plan) - I have no idea. Am I still cool?

6) ZZ Top/Got Me Under Pressure (Eliminator) - Being in high school during this time period was epic. Everyone had this album.

7) Renaissance/Last Day of School (Ashes are Burning) - Killer guitar and piano work. Another British prog band I need to look into more. Oh, and welcome to the party.

8) Kansas/On the Other Side (Monolith) - This is an almost forgotten about album to me. It's great though. Maybe because it's sandwiched between Point of Know Return and AudioVisions.

9) HSAS/He Will Understand (Through the Fire) - Anyone else remember this? It was a quick collaboration between Sammy Hagar and Neal Schon.

The Moody Blues and AC/DC back to back here? NOPE.

10) Yes/Changes (90125) - Dang. I mean I'm happy that it is Yes, but it gets them banned. Not a lot of room left on that island. Great song though.

********************************************************************************

The STCS for this week goes to The Muppets/Scrooge (The Muppet Christmas Carol). Wow, that's very fitting for this time of the year. As far as Exile Island goes, let's see: Yes gets added; Styx, The Moody Blues and AC/DC get Tarkus'd; Journey (of all people) get set free. Oh you know they're showing up first thing next week.

********************************************************************************

As always stay cool/dry and comfy wherever you are. Roll Tide! Beat the Gators!

Like there was any doubt!



She likes wearin' lipstick, she likes French cuisine
But she won't let me use my passion unless it's in a limousine...
