Years of the Horse and Sheep
Let’s explore the Year of the Horse (2014, 2002, 1990, 1978, 1966) and the Year of the Sheep (2015, 2003, 1991, 1979, 1967, 1955) this week.
Daryl Hall & John Oates “Rich Girl” is the second track on their 1976 album Bigger Than Both Of Us and is one of the duo’s most iconic tracks. The song features a distinctive keyboard part, the iconic drum fill leading into the first verse, rich vocal layers and a bouncing bassline.
From the first of two albums Weezer released this year, “All My Favorite Songs” is the opening track on OK Human. Weezers’ 14th album was recorded using analog instruments and an orchestra, helping shape the almost experimental, “baroque-pop” sound of the record. “All My Favorite Songs” peaked at #3 on the Billboard Rock Radio chart and hit the Top 20 of the Hot Rock chart, proving yet again that Rivers Cuomo hasn’t lost that magic songwriting touch. From the mellotron intro, the lush string arrangements, harmonized group vocals and Weezer’s classic straight-ahead drums, this song has something for everyone.
