STOP RESTING ON MY LAURELS

You can't always have a good day. But you can make a bad day better with some good music.

On this day in 1968, The Rolling Stones released Beggars Banquet, one of the band's best and a classic with "Sympathy for the Devil," "Street Fighting Man," and "No Expectations."

On this day in 1988, we lost Roy Orbison. His hits like "Oh, Pretty Woman," "Crying," and "In Dreams" cement his legacy as one of the truly great voices in the history of music.

"Born on the Bayou" by Creedence Clearwater Revival is now certified Platinum for selling 1 million copies in the U.S. Released in 1969, the song is a swamp-rock anthem that reflects childhood memories and evokes the Louisiana bayou.

Including the @thecure.com cover "A Forest"! @djdeedge.bsky.social @theretweeter.bsky.social @djcjstephenson.bsky.social open.spotify.com/playlist/2h9...

61 years ago today, The Animals released "The House of the Rising Sun," recorded in just one take that took 15 minutes to finish between tour stops on a whim that the song performed live would make a good cover single.

40 years ago today, Scritti Politti released Cupid & Psyche 85 with five singles, three of which were top 20 hits in the UK. The single "Perfect Way" hit Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 in a 25-week run on the chart.

42 years ago today, Talking Heads got weird (and wonderful) all over again with their fifth album, Speaking In Tongues. Still dancing like David Byrne in a big suit every time it plays.

On this day in 1976, The Who set the record for World's Loudest Rock Band when their show in London measured 126 decibels. I SAID, ON THIS DAY IN 1976...

The Cure @thecure.com Endsong (Orbital Remix) youtu.be/i5dOXhSun08?...

On this day in 1977, The Jam released In the City, their explosive debut album. With Paul Weller’s razor-sharp lyrics and a raw mod-punk energy, it captured the pulse of restless youth in Thatcher-era Britain. Short, fast, loud—and unforgettable.

45 years ago today in 1980, we lost Ian Curtis of Joy Division. His voice echoed with pain, poetry, and haunting beauty. He gave us Unknown Pleasures and left too soon before Closer arrived. His impact is forever.

61 years ago today, The Animals recorded "The House of the Rising Sun" in just one take that took 15 minutes to finish. They did it between tour stops on a whim that it would make a good single after performing it live a few times.

On this day in 1978, The Buddy Holly Story was released, featuring an Oscar-nominated performance by Gary Busey. As an 8-year-old kid, watching this movie changed my life, made me a fan, and led me to a path of figuring out how to work in the music industry.

The Best Of Nancy By Ernie Bushmiller March 22,1969

Bob Marley and the Wailers’ Legend returns to the Top Album Sales chart at #17 and Vinyl Albums chart at #16 with 3,500 copies sold. It jumps to #61 on the Billboard 200 and continues to lead the Reggae Albums chart.

41 years ago today, Duran Duran hit No.1 on the UK singles chart with “The Reflex.” Their second and final UK chart-topper, it also went on to conquer the U.S. charts. Pure '80s pop perfection.

This #remix has something nostalgic and impressivly modern. Check it out! @djdeedge.bsky.social @theretweeter.bsky.social @djcjstephenson.bsky.social www.volkermilch.com/linklist/
