- Falling just shy of #1 on the pop chart, this was the Allman Bros.' only top ten hit. Inspired by the similarly-named Hank Williams song, I think it's one of Dickey Betts' best contributions to the band's music. audio
- This is a classic ballad by the Four Horsemen. It has great vocals, smashing drums, and breathtaking guitar.
Personally, I believe their best albums are ...And Justice for All and Master of Puppets. If you don't know this song, you need too...
- Rainbow's cover of the Russ Ballard tune was their first major hit. Graham Bonnet's voice doesn't quite have the same range as Ronnie Dio's, but it's certainly powerful enough to get the job done. In the three post-Dio eras, I think this is my favorite Rainbow song. audio
- I would like to nominate this song as a tribute to the fallen keyboardist of one of the biggest bands that ever rocked over this planet; Richard Wright was a key piece behind the success of Pink Floyd, as David Gilmour said after his death "In the welter of arguments about who or what was Pink Floyd, Rick's enormous input was frequently forgotten. He was gentle, unassuming and private but his soulful voice and playing were vital, magical components of our most recognised Pink Floyd sound."
- This dance-pop hit by Swedish band Ace Of Base was an instant smash, spending six weeks (although not consecutively) at #1 on the Billboard pop chart, and also reached the top five in all the countries it charted in.[1] audio
- This song had touched me. It had a lot of attention towards me. It wasn't a smash hit, but it's still my favorite Tally Hall song.
- The opening track of Bridge of Sighs is one of my favorites from the album. With the driving guitar riff and James Dewar's distinctive voice and bass line, it's a popular staple in Trower's live shows. I think it's a great song to spend five minutes listening to. audio
- Jade Valerie has such a beautiful, powerful voice that when paired with her bottom-of-the-ocean deep lyrics, create a true piece of art.
- Easily single material, it was sadly not a single from Insomniac, Green Day's second album. It's a completely nonsensical no-nonsense punk tune with plenty of hooks and witty, well-thought lyrics.
audio
- Peaking at #25 on the pop charts, it's one of Scorpions' most popular songs. I think the guitar riff is one of the greatest ever invented, and will influence rock music for years to come. audio
- One of my favorite Scorpions songs, its guitar riff is incredibly catchy. The song wasn't a big hit on the pop charts (only reaching #65), but it became a staple of the band's live shows, in addition to a smash hit on classic rock stations, hitting #1 on the Mainstream Rock Charts. I think it deserves to be SoTD. audio
- Quickly becoming one of my favorite Blackmore's Night songs, it's certainly got the Renaissance sound Ritchie Blackmore was looking for when he left Rainbow. The music is great, and Candice Night's voice is pure magic. audio
- This is a finely crafted, hand-made song of natural beauty. One of the kind you hear rarely these days. The melody and rhythm are awesome. I especially love the instrumental part in the middle - going from accoustic guitar to piano to saxophone. The lyrics are a yearning for music with a heart and soul.
- Metallica has had some great songs over the years: Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets (of course), One, and Enter Sandman, and I think think this song is about to join those. This song is from the album, "Death Magnetic", which came out on September 12th. It's great to see Metallica is doing solos again. This is something all fans must have missed in ,"St. Anger". The video depicts soldiers moving through a wartorn country. These are all reasons why this song deserves to be Song of the Day.
- A fun song from the early 80s from the Australian band Men at Work, Down Under is also one of the reasons that LyricWiki is necessary. A little thick with the accent at times, the singer turns the lyrics into a sort of guessing game at times. Plus, the group isn't afraid to slide in a few authentic Australian phrases and terms. Chunder? Vegemite? Maybe it's my head that's ...full of zombie.'
- I discovered this band a couple months ago while looking for an artist in which I could calm myself down to. Ryan O'Neal from Sleeping At Last has the innate ability to really pull at an emotional chord. His song Quicksand is nothing short of a masterpiece as he pours out his apologies for destroying a relationship. His ideas on how romance is so fragile and trust is an essential part of a relationship really makes me ponder about my relationships and if I've ever really trusted any of them. Quicksand is one of my favorite songs and will be for many years to come.
- This is the only hit for Modern English. It peaked at #76 after its re-release. It has been covered by several artists and bands including Bowling For Soup for the 2005 movie Sky High, and Jason Mraz for the 2004 movie 50 First Dates.
- Anchored by Felix Pappalardi's running bass line, I think it's one of Mountain's best tracks. While not as recognizable as Mississippi Queen, it's still an enjoyable four minutes of music. audio
- There are few things that can make me emotional. This song nearly brings me to tears. Based on a story about a child born with Down Syndrome whose parents allowed to starve to death, it is more based on the mindset that we need to be more active to stop these things from occurring. If we do not speak up, we share in the blame. The song is definitely worth a listen.
- The first single released from Journey's new album Revelation is becoming one of my favorites. Having recently started getting into Journey's music, it's amazing how much new lead vocalist Arnel Pineda sounds like Steve Perry. In addition, the music is as good as any of the band's previous efforts. audio
- This song is a personal favorite of the artist Rie Fu. The song talks about the hardships of being alone and the joy of finding someone who understands you. Although she is a Japanese singer she sings fluently in both Japanese and English. This song is featured as the first ending in the anime Bleach. This is one of her songs off of her self-titled album. It has beautiful piano parts and haunting lyrics. [2]
- Released as a single numerous times, it's one of Iron Maiden's most popular tunes. Never having been a Maiden fan before, I've really gotten into this song through its use in the video game Rock Band. Bruce Dickinson's voice is so powerful, and the music is more than memorable. audio
- When working on another song by this very successful Dutch artist I came across the music video for the song and I wanted to share it with you. I think the musicians are incredible, the song is very well written and the man has an incredible enthusiasm (even after some hours he is jumping and running as frantically as if he'd just begun). I hope you music lovers will appreciate this song, even without understanding the words. But since it's after all a lyrics site, I've also added an (approximate) translation which should (approximately) fit the melody, in case you can't keep still and want to sing along.
- The penultimate track of The Cars' eponymous debut album will forever be remembered for its brief appearance in Cameron Crowe's Fast Times at Ridgemont High, during Judge Reinhold's fantasy about Phoebe Cates. I find the song's guitar riff to be pretty catchy, and I think any Cars fan can identify it pretty darn quick. audio
- This song has a very deep meaning, to me and certainly many others. The singer has been so touched by an individual that the individual will always remain in their heart. It describes a love so powerful, an bond so strong, that it last for an entire lifetime. When Céline Dion released this song, it received every award that it could possibly win.
- This jangle-pop hit by the Georgia Satellites was their only Top 5 hit on the pop chart. The song is instantly recognizable to any Southern rock fan, and the refrain "keep your hands to yourself" is, I think, deeply embedded in the public consciousness. It's one of my favorite Southern rock songs.
- This song is one of the best ever by DragonForce. Combined with the powerful lyrics and face-melting guitar solos, this is one song that all rock fans should listen to.
- Another Southern rock favorite is becoming one of my own personal favorites. While not as guitar-focused as other Southern rock bands, the song has a more country feel, with Jerry Eubanks' flute playing a major focus. I think it's one of The Marshall Tucker Band's best songs.
- While not a widely-known Mellencamp song, this song from his album The Lonesome Jubilee is one of my "Cougar" favorites. Comparing selfish youthful lust to the "take what we want" treatment that the American "Indians" received during the period of Western Expansion, Mellencamp almost bites off more than he can chew. His ability to tell a story, however, allows his message of taking the right way instead of taking the easy way to shine through. ...Now everybody has got the choice / Between hotdogs and hamburgers / every one of us has got to choose / between right and wrong / and givin' up or holdin' on.'
