Day 13 - A song with an unexpected drop
At exactly 0:59… awesome.
Get Out - #FrightenedRabbit
youtu.be/rM55yxo75yI
“Backstage at the Limelight in Belfast” sounds like a chapter in a Sherlock Holmes novel.
Not mentioned enough in 80’s “best lists”… not nearly enough.

Which picture are you submitting?
From 1981, from a #Newfoundland local TV show… my first intro to #SteelyDan. Long live #TheWonderfulGrandBand.

Day 6 - A song you recognize after two bars
Annie Get Your Gun - #Squeeze
youtu.be/jtCKtHoGHRU
And I think it’s 7/4! lol.
But any excuse to share the mighty Gang of Four. My other option was Mother by #ThePolice. (But it’s just not a fave)

Day 5 - A song in 7/8 time signature
What We All Want - #GangofFour
A great track from a band that were somehow both “of their time” and “ahead of their time.”

Day 2 - A filler song
Frankenstein - #EdgarWinterGroup (1972)
This “throwaway” track became a huge hit (and #1 in 🇨🇦). This version, live on the UK’s #OldGreyWhistleTest, is the definitive version, imo.

Day 28 - A song you’ll probably love forever
Lavender - #Marillion (1985)
This is the shorter album version, which was then lengthened to a single.
“When I am king, dilly dilly,
You will be queen”
youtu.be/ziRRW9n2RNA
Omg yes. I’ve been to the Reeperbahn as a youngish lad… 1993… lots of window shopping but no souvenirs. Lol
Vinyl edition????? That’s great news!!! 😀😀😀
It was a toss up between The French Inhaler and The Indifference of Heaven from the same live LP. So glad I got to see him live in 2002. 😢

Day 27 - A song you consider a masterpiece
The French Inhaler - #WarrenZevon
“And when the lights came up at two
I caught a glimpse of you
And your face looked like something
Death brought with him in his suitcase”
