Jackson Family Pick Repost

Repost: Well, since I was reposting this, I fixed an error, added a track, so this is the new version of this. The Family Jackson Pick is all the biggest hits (for me) of the Jackson family. So I include the Jackson 5 and the Jacksons, but also a Michael, Janet, Jermaine, La Toya, Rebbie, Randy, Tito, Marlon and Jackie. With so many, I am bound to have forgotten someone, but I hope not. I gave most of the solo spots two tracks, one each for Jacksons and Jackson 5 (since it sort of is the same group) and also for Jackie, Randy and Marlon. One track is from Janet and Michael! Eventually, I will do a Janet pick (maybe a Jermaine), but the rest of these Jacksons, I don't think I could make one with enough that I like. This will have to do.

Jackson Family Pick

01 Tito Jackson with Kenny Neal, Marlon Jackson & Bobby Rush - Love One Another
02 Randy Jackson - How Can I Be Sure
03 Janet Jackson - That's The Way Love Goes
04 Jackson 5 - I Want You Back

Michael Jackson 2

The man is still all over the radio and somehow putting out fresh material. It is a bit wild for someone who basically died of milk, but the momentum never really stopped. This set mixes in some of those posthumous releases alongside the older stuff, which feels right with the new movie out now. Hard to believe how there are still "new" Michael Jackson songs going crazy on the charts. I remember watching the cartoon as a kid in The Valley. We were actually pretty close to Neverland, though I never made it past the gates myself. This latest pick sits nicely next to volume 1 to show how the different eras of his career actually mesh together. It makes you wonder how much more is left in the vaults.

Michael Jackson 1 repost

Repost: Originally I wasn't going to post this, but some people had messaged me and asked why the disco (leopard) series hardly had any Michael Jackson in it. The reason is this playlist. Any disco party I played, I would of course play the songs in the disco series that I have already posted, but I also brought along this playlist of my MJ picks. Yes. I also brought along Saturday Night Fever, some extra Bee Gee's etc. I wasn't going to post this, because you can find tons of great Michael Jackson greatest hits albums out there. This is just my pick. Many of you will disagree with some of my choices, but I stand by them. Tell me your favorites in the comments. You've probably already seen the companion Jacksons playlist. And tomorrow I post the second volume (never posted before.)

Michael Jackson Pick

01 Jackson 5 - Dancing Machine

RIYL Y&T (Recommended If You Like Yesterday and Today) repost

Repost of this pick: Bay Area band (Oakland, Caifornia) Y&T also known as Yesterday and Today hasn't done much lately, but were and are influential in the area of heavy metal. At least one member of Metallica started playing because of this band. Anyway, as a California boy, I liked the band and I love making RIYL compilations every now and again. So here are my recommendations if you like Y&T. Or if you like one of these songs and don't listen to Y&T, perhaps you should. And try to find the albums of all these artists, they are all good. BTW this song by them isn't even the best or most popular, but it does rock.

RIYL Y&T

01 Y&T - Don't Stop Runnin'
02 Michael Schenker Group - Armed And Ready
03 Montrose - Bad Motor Scooter
04 Triumph - Fight the Good Fight
05 Krokus - Screaming In The Night
06 Helix - Rock You
07 Autograph - Turn Up The Radio
08 Motley Crue - Smokin in the Boys Room
09 Kix - Girl Money
10 Ratt - Round And Round
11 Black 'n Blue - Hold On To 18
12 Great White - Once Bitten Twice Shy
13 Dokken - Into The Fire
14 King Kobra - Iron Eagle (Never Say Die)
15 L.A. Guns - Sex Action
16 Quiet Riot - Cum On Feel The Noize
17 Hush - Hot Tonight
18 Shnazz - (I Want To) Jump On Your Bones

Rock and Roll Connection volume 3 repost

Repost of this 2021 post: Yet another attempt at another volume of What's The Connection? Rock and Roll. A couple of these songs would be in my ultimate Rock and Roll playlist (if I was constrained to one CD's worth of songs) and I would switch out some of the other volumes selections, but all in all a good Rockin' playlist, even if I was lazy in the cover. But make sure you check out the other volumes. Leave a comment if you have any Rock and Roll favorites I missed. It is time to make a volume 4...
