No Time - Halo of Flies, 1988.



What better news can a head-throbber get on his birthday than that his all time favorite Minneapolis band is reuniting for a show . . . TOMORROW NIGHT!

When Something is Wrong with My Baby - Sam & Dave, 1967 & 1969



A guaranteed panty moistener of a song if there ever was one. Forget the backing by the incomparable Stax house band. The slow steady screw inflicted upon the ladies of the house by the tenderly sadistic pacing and tension of Sam & Dave, must have turned these arenas into baby making factories.

Led Zeppelin. For Your Love. 1969.



Note: I hate it when I can't find an actual video recording of some amazing tune I fine on the interwebz, but alas this will have to suffice.

Here's Zepp stomping a mud hole into the bloated corpse of a Yardbirds classic. The riffs performed here gave my ears boners at first listen. That solo? Seriously? Why didn't they grudge fuck this song more often?

I'm not much of a Clapton fan, but Jimmy Page just took a steaming dump on Slowhand's legacy with this little ditty.

Anthem - Rush, 1975



I think the employment of windchimes and foot organs by later-years Rush served only one purpose, to try to suppress the atmosphere shredding licks of Alex Lifeson. Strap on your high altitude oxygen mask.

Boogie For George - UFO, 1970.



I speak of this with the pre-convicted tone of an adulterous lover. Superbeast, hear me out. I listened to UFO today. I plugged UFO into Pandora. I had my chakras realigned by the likes of Blackmore, Bolton & Shenker. Sorry that I broke our Steelydarity. But, brother, UFO is coming to the Medina Entertainment Center, Saturday October 17th and I gotta say. I'm stoked!
