Friday and the Random 13

It's Friday the 13th, one of my favorite days, you know, because i'm weird that way. So this week I'm going to expand the random list for more awesome randomness. Let's get started!

1) Jon Anderson/Christy - this is from his Jon with Others CD, and it sounds bad...like demo in a basement bad...this is with John Paul Jones, whoever that is

2) Billy Squier/The Stroke - no words needed...immediate video required

3) Saga/No Stranger (Chapter 8) - back to back weeks with the Canadian rockers!

4) Kitaro/A Drop of Silence - A Japanese composer/new age musician...good stuff

5) Beethoven/Coriolan Overture - yeah, I'm deep like that

6) Prince/Baby I'm a Star - from that Rain CD, Purple or something...

7) Journey/Edge of the Moment - trying to sound alot like the Escape/Frontiers era...sometimes the magic is gone and you cant bring it back no matter how hard you try

8) Cyndi Lauper/I Drove All Night - ahhh Cyndi...

9) Boston/My Destination - side one of Third Stage is an epic masterpiece...

10) Styx/High Enough - yes, this is the Damn Yankees song, but the Styx version from the CD Regeneration...you know, since Tommy seems to have written it and was/is in both bands

And now to the bonus tracks...

11) Billy Squier/My Kinda Lover - holy effin crap! My train buddies know I was channeling my inner Squier this past week and now he's shown up twice!

12) Survivor/Everlasting - wow, was there a better album in 1984 for chicks than Vital Signs?

And Lucky 13 is.... drum roll please...

13) Saga/On The Loose - speechless....PLAY US OUT!

Friday and the Random 10 (Veteran's Day Edition)

Today is a very special day for the Random 10. It's Veteran's Day and also 11-11-11 (yes I will be rejoicing at 11:11am and 11 seconds). So in honor of our veterans, today's date, Pocky (Wendy will get that), The Big Ten conference (which has 11 teams) and Spinal Tap, I give you this week's Random 10 +1.

1) Boston/Can'tcha Say You Believe in Me - winner right out of the gates...as a matter of fact, everyone gets and album cover today!

2) Christina Aguilera/Hurt - no idea I even had this

3) The Commodores/The Human Zoo - yeah that's right, they're from Alabama

4) Kitaro/Symphony of the Forest - new agey, moody kinda music I never gave much listen to

5) Cyndi Lauper/Time After Time - her best song

6) YES/Countryside - a bonus track from the Tormato times....it just doesnt fit in with the album, and neither does the album cover

7) The Beatles/You've Got to Hide Your Love Away - good advice

8) The Mars Volta/Concertina - I tried to get into this but just couldnt

9) The Beatles/Nowhere Man - another classic and appropriate song

10) Enigma/In the Shadow, In the Light - now this music I love

11) Chicago/Life is What it is - this is like their soft jazzy disco album...yeah it sucks and is a terrible way to end this week's list!

Oh well, that was kind of a let down , but at least i can let Boston play us out:
