A Week In Rock - how do you rate?

Vic Sage Oct 19 2012 08:56 AM

Here's a Friday activity... list your favorite songs (with priority to Rock over other genres, but not necessarily limited to Rock), with 1 song for each day of the week. The day must be in the title. for example: I DON'T LIKE MONDAYS - Boomtown Rats RUBY TUESDAY - Rolling Stones MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY - Kinks THURSDAY'S CHILD - David Bowie BLACK FRIDAY - Steely Dan SATURDAY NIGHT'S ALRIGHT FOR FIGHTIN - Elton John SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY - U2 as you might expect, options for tuesday, wednesday and thursday are pretty slim, while the weekend is plentiful. now your turn.

Oddly enough I was thinking of this topic just a few days ago. SUNDAY MORNING COMIN' DOWN - KRIS KRISTOFERSON MONDAY MORNING - FLEETWOOD MAC TUESDAY AFTERNOON - MOODY BLUES (not that I'm implying this is as good as Ruby Tuesday but that one's already been used) WEDNESDAY - THURSDAY - FRIDAY - (LOOKIN' FOR) THE HEART OF SATURDAY NIGHT - TOM WAITS Ummm, I've still got some work to do

Going for no repeats, but were I not I'd go along with FK and his Tom Waits pick for Saturday. Monday Morning - Death Cab for Cutie Sun Comes Up, It's Tuesday Morning - Cowboy Junkies Wednesday Morning, 3 AM - Simon and Garfunkel Thursday - Jim Croce Friday, I'm in Love - The Cure Small Town Saturday Night - Hal Ketchum (I only have a cover of this by Lowen and Navarro, but I remember this as a pretty big country hit that I liked a lot) Sunday Papers - Joe Jackson OE: Lunchie in ahead of me with the Croce Thursday song, but I'll let it stand due to the lack of other choices).

Sunday Morning Coming Down - Kris Kristofferson Monday Monday - the Mamas and the Papas Ruby Tuesday - the Rolling Stones Wednesday Week - Elvis Costello Jersey Thursday - Donovan (the weakest of all of these songs, someone should write a better one) Friday On My Mind - The Easybeats (or the David Bowie cover) The Heart of Saturday Night - Tom Waits

Great topic, Vic, and kudos to all for reminding me of some forgotten nuggets.

Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon (Queen) Every Monday (Marvelous 3) Tuesday's Gone (Skynyrd) Wednesday (1969) ?? Friday Night (The Darkness) S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night (Ned's Atomic Dustbin, or whoever originally recorded it) I got nothing on Thursday at all.
