THE NUMBER OF THE...

[Zzzptm]

Seven Days Is Too Long by Chuck Wood, an excellent track with a heavy, danceable beat and some tight horns that made it a Northern Soul classic.

[Charger]

Number 9.

This is where things got bit tricky as I was kind of torn between two songs...a thrashy one and a symphonic one....

But I haven't done all that many Exodus songs and I believe I have done quite a few Nightwish songs so the Bay Area Thrashers win...


So here we have the opening track of the Blood In Blood Out album and it's called BLACK 13!

[Zzzptm]

This one's more hard rocking than my other submission for today, and it was "67" before the kids made that a thing:

Novadriver - "Sixty Seven" from 24 years ago, wrapping my head around *that*... song used to be fresh and new for a new century and all... but it's still a banger tune!

Pick number 10

The Stranglers - Five Minutes

I think I posted this on an earlier challenge, but I forget for sure. It's a good effort, but a non album track - which makes me think that's the challenge I previously posted on!!

I don't have a list, so I was just going to post a couple of my favorites, if that's okay.

Here is one from an old Lene Lovich album I own.

Very OK, for sure! And a little art punk was a nice flavor for my day, I enjoyed it!

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

I remember Lucky Number. Nearly a one-hit wonder here in the UK, it got to number 3! Very much a song of that time.

For my 10th and final choice we're gonna DOOOM it up a bit.

This is from CATHEDRAL and from the Supernatural Birth Machine comes a track called BIRTH MACHINE 2000!!

I like this song more than Carnival Bizarre to be honest!

Two thousand zero zero
Party over oops out of time

For a song titled "1999", it's aged very well. 

Speaking of aging well, here's a tune that's about as metal as 1962 could get:

The Ventures - "2000 Pound Bee"

This instrumental brought us the fuzz pedal and some pretty awesome guitar work. Part 2 of the tune drives harder, but Part 1 sets it all up so I include it here. The Ventures were pioneers in making "concept albums" and selling albums without single hit action. They also introduced a number of guitar effects and basically opened the gates for things that would be necessary for experimental and heavy music.

[Typhon]

Talented musicians make up Chicago.

[Zzzptm]

Have I done a Saxon song yet? No?



TIME TO GET SOME SAXON ON THIS LIST!!! They got some numbers in their titles, like Dallas 1PM and 747 (Strangers in the Night), both from their classic early period, but I'mma go with their hard-rockin' *later* period, from Carpe Diem...

Saxon - "All for One"

This is for all you swashbucklin' musketeers out there! All for one and one for all!

[Zzzptm]

Anthrax - "1000 Points of Hate"

I loved to blast this track back in the day, it was part of my soundtrack for my last years teaching in Dallas and my first years in IT doing tech support.

[Typhon]

  I think this qualifies.

[Zzzptm]

Indeed it does, and that riff was one of the best things to come out of 1982.

[Charger]

Now that song has that early 80s vibe turned on 11! Not really my style of music but gotta still love that 80s style!
