Friday and the Random 10 (John Snow is Alive Edition)

Oh you knew he was alive. You, just like everyone else, kept staring at that table and expected him to open his eyes or jump up. The question is, was he alive already, or did the red witch actually bring him back? I never read the books so I don't know any future spoilers. #JohnSnowLives #GameOfThrones

Music is coming...

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

I am liking the new look for Exile Island. It will stay for awhile. No YES again this week because of them getting Tarkus'd last week. His eyes are always open underneath that armadillo shell. And as usual, the rules and whatnot are up there ↑ at the top near the home tab.

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

Hodor!

1) Sammy Hagar/I Can't Drive 55 (The Essential Red Collection) - I got all excited about this one because I knew it had an awesome 80's video. It was nowhere to be found on the tube. Can you believe that?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2) Glass Hammer/Chronoverture (Chronometree) - A prog band from Tennessee. You don't hear that often. I checked them out because the lead singer here was the one that replaced JA in YES. I dig those keyboards though.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3) Steve Miller Band/Fly Like an Eagle (Greatest Hits 1974-1978) - Classic, with the full intro here.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4) AC/DC/You Shook Me All Night Long (Back in Black) - Dammit! Another one that I know has a cool 80's video but all I see is covers and live versions. Ugh. But how badass is this song though? Very.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5) Chicago/Sleeping in the Middle of the Bed Again (Stone of Sisyphus) - This is the album that was deemed so bad by the record company that they refused to release it. Listen and you'll see why.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6) The Police/Next to You (Outlandos d'Amour) - That's right. In all my songs on here the same one shows up in back to back weeks. Statistically probable, but unlikely.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7) Guns N' Roses/Civil War (Greatest Hits) - The world still needs more Axl.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8) Rick Wakeman/Funerailles (Lisztomania) - I just knew RW would show up after seeing Chicago earlier. Now, will either of them get banned before the countdown is over? Unfortunately it has a video.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9) Led Zeppelin/Dancing Days (Houses of the Holy) - You might not know the words, but you know that guitar riff immediately.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10) The Moody Blues/Lose Your Money (The Magnificent Moodies) - Back when they thought they were the Beatles. No really, listen.

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

The STCS for this week goes to Journey/The Journey (Revelation). And once again, he does not sound like Steve Perry. As far as Exile Island goes, no one gets added (you knew Chicago or RW was coming up fast but luckily we ran out of time), and YES gets set free.

Stay cool/dry/comfy wherever you are, and Roll Tide!

Get you some, Neal Schon!
