Friday and the Random 10 (Outlawed Edition)

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

YES Family Tree

This is from the YesYears box set and shows the many incarnations of Yes, and how they connect to other bands such as King Crimson, Asia, The Moody Blues, ELP and Genesis (up to 1991).

Friday and the Random 10 (Day at the Beach Edition)

Well I finally listened to Jimmy Buffet and spent the day at the beach and I have learned one thing: even though it's overcast and dark and a bit rainy, if you lay there face down long enough, you can still get sunburned. Unbelievable.

Anyway, back to the music. Looking back at last week it looks like Enigma and The Beatles are banned this time around. As usual, the rules and whatnot are up there ↑ on the top.

Here we go!

Friday and the Random 10 (Friday the 13th Edition)

Yeah I know it's been a few weeks since I have rolled one of these out, but you know how the holidays go (especially when you work for the Mouse). And don't worry, the weekly tradition will continue into 2014 as well, plus a few other things I have up my sleeve.

Enough of that Von, get down to the music!

Friday and the Random 10

Life seems to be getting to that part of year where everything changes. Kids going back to school, football starting soon, etc. One thing you can always count on is the Random 10. I mean, it's become like an institution for ya'll right? (and by ya'll I mean both of my readers). Anyway, looking back at last week, I see no one got banned. Must have been all that RW I deleted. As usual, the rules and whatnot are over there → to the right.

Let's get this party started!

Friday and the Random 10

Checking back on last week, I can see that Jon Anderson and Chicago and ineligible this week. Sorry, dem's da rules guys. The other rules are over there → to the right. I'm feeling sore from my first day back in over five months, so I have no idea how this one will turn out. Oh well, nothing to it but to do it! Let's go!

1) GTR/Spectral Mornings - This is another one of those "supergroups" from the 80's. This one had Steve Howe of Yes/Asia and Steve Hackett from Genesis. This song is some live performance with material from a second album that was never released. Oh, and welcome to the party pal!

2) Jimmy Buffet/We are the People Our Parents Warned Us About - Sad, but true.

3) Jimmy Buffet/Come Monday - Two in a row? I hope my media player isn't messing up again. Automatically eliminated for next week.

4) Trans-Siberian Orchestra/Music Box Blues - Yes, this is technically a Christmas song. I hate this version. I think the original is sweet in all its sadness. This one is annoying.

5) Jimmy Buffet/Holiday - Okay, what the hell?

6) Kansas/All I Wanted - from one of my favorite 80's albums Power. Yeah, this one:



7) Bob Seger/We've Got Tonight - Bob still gets me.

8) Journey/Why Can't This Night Go On Forever - Frontiers was acceptable after Escape, but Raised on Radio officially turned Journey into a love song singing bunch of pussies. Yeah, I said it.

9) Van Halen/Little Guitars - See, this is what we needed more of during the 80's.

10) Yes/Holding On - from the Onion Union album that I covered here.

Well this all didn't totally inspire a lot of confidence in the randomness of my media player. Maybe it was just one of those things? Who knows. The STCS for this week is The Black Eyed Peas/Imma Be. Don't be surprised! I can be cool like that sometimes. Might as well let them play us out:
