Day 9 - Song about dancing
Twisting by the Pool - #DireStraits
Defy anyone to not tap their foot when this track is fired up. It’s also a sure-fire way to get even the grumpiest of party guests to shake their groove thang.

Day 9 - The first song you’d put on a mixtape to a crush
Just Like Heaven - #TheCure
Was always the first track on every mixtape meant to grab a crush’s attention. This track said: “I’m mysterious and just might look hot in eyeliner.”

Day 9 - Great Expectations
The lyrics are definitely not worthy of Charles Dickens (whose book of the same name is a fave), but this track was the perfect Side 1 closer of the LP.

Day 8 - A band that is a-mazing
Can-Utility and the Coastliners
From the peak #Genesis era (1971-73), this track highlights what made this band special: proficient, melodic, mystical, a bit mad perhaps, but brimming with confidence.

Day 8 - A song with you, me, or us in the title
Always with Me, Always With You
Gorgeous instrumental by #JoeSatriani that, if you practiced enough, was actually playable for the first 50 seconds. After that point, forget about it. 😦

Day 8 - Hard Times
This coulda’ been on #AceFrehley ‘s solo album, since only Ace and #AntonFig played on it. Saw this one live in 2008 from front row in a small club in Calgary. 🫵😎

Day 7 - Heavy metal jammin’
This deep track from the last #BlackSabbath album before #Ozzy was fired in 1979 was a surprise choice by #GunsNRoses at this summer’s tribute show. And they absolutely killed it. An amazing heavy jam.

Day 7 - A song from 2013
Nothing Comes to Nothing
#Babyshambles
Remember when every music rag had #PeteDoherty on it? This one was just before #TheLibertines reformed. But B/S also got back this year and are touring the UK right now!

Day 7 - Naked City
This album was (and remains) a bit of a “meh”, but 14 year-old me still ponied up for it. At least Ace plays on this track… Pete played on none of them.

Day 6 - Left-handed guitarist playin’
“End” by #TheCure, featuring the jangly, gothic growl of lefty #PerryBamonte. Just a great closing track on a great album.

Day 6 - Another favourite song
Green and Grey - #NewModelArmy
If you’re a fan of music that makes you feel like you’re watching a film, you won’t find a track much better than this one. Both hopeful and hopeless, all at the same time.

Day 6 - Rocket Ride
This track is only #AceFrehley (guitar, bass and vocal) and Peter on drums. A few years after its release, we finally realized it wasn’t about the Space Program.

Day 5 - Girl guitarists who sing
Mabel by The #JulianaHatfield Three
Probably not healthy to still have a crush after 30 years, but so be it. Juliana’s lilting voice eventually gives way to her guitar in this grungy headbanger.

Day 5 - A song with a number in the title
99 Nights - #CharlotteCardin 🇨🇦
Just when you’re sick of current pop music, along comes someone that churns out perfect earworms like this. And she’s Canadian.
Have a listen… tariff-free. 😀

Why this album got so much hate back in the day remains a mystery. This track is the darkest and nastiest on the disc. Turn it up up up 🖤🖤🖤

Gypsy Rider by #GeneClark (the Byrd) and #CarlaOlson
An outstanding track written by Gene that featured on the great collaboration album So Rebellious a Lover (1987). He passed a few years later at 46. 😢

Great vocals from Peter on this track by Paul (that was apparently written with #RodStewart in mind). A classic track that still stands up 50 (!) years later.
