Song of the Day: 6/27/19

the song of the day for June 27th, 2019 is Ramblin' Man by the Allman Brothers Band.


notably different than the other songs produced by the Allman Brothers Band, Ramblin' Man was released on Brothers and Sisters, the first album released after Duane Allman's untimely death on October 29th, 1971. rather than being a hard rock song like Whipping Post or Jessica, Ramblin' Man is probably closer to country-rock than anything; in fact, due to this, they considered not recording the song entirely.

Ramblin' Man would end up being the Allman Brothers Band's biggest hit, reaching #2 on the Hot 100 (blocked from #1 by Cher's Half-Breed) and #12 on the Easy Listening charts.

Song of the Day: 6/26/19

the song of the day for June 26th, 2019, is Virgin Tea [Explicit] by System of a Down.


recorded during the sessions of Toxicity, System of a Down's most famous album, Virgin Tea (also known as Virginity and Cherry) was never officially released on an album; however, it was released on a bootlegged album known as Toxicity Sessions, which was only released on The Pirate Bay.

learning about Toxicity Sessions, System of a Down were dissapointed; not from the fact that some songs were leaked, but rather that they were not the best quality. System of a Down would later rerecord some of the songs on Toxicity Sessions and release it as Steal This Album, with some of the song's names being changed.

Virgin Tea was not on Steal This Album.
