Sunday Music - Aku Aku
Three minutes of instrumental ear candy from Styx, the closing B-side track off their triple-platinum 1978 Pieces Of Eight album. Bumper music before there was bumper music.
So many people miss so much good music by only listening to single tracks instead of entire albums. I miss "album oriented radio." Seems like these days the "classic rock" radio stations play a rotating list of a couple hundred songs. Missed hearing you favorite song? Keep listening, it will play again soon.
Great creative tension in the band.
ReplyDeleteAnother fine choice. I have never heard it played on any radio station. I discovered it when I bought the album when it was first released
ReplyDelete(Styx was one of those bands where a new album was an automatic trip to a record store back in the day).
Reinforcing my view that the good songs on an album aren't necessarily the ones the get the radio play (no matter how good those are)

ReplyDeleteNice memory of high school days. Domo arigato.
