My Vicky Life

30 day music challenge

Day 1: A song you like with a color in the title.

Black Dog by Led Zeppelin, but there are tons of others. First, I think I should get bonus points for the ones by bands that have colors in their names too, like Nights in White Satin by The Moody Blues, Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye by The Black Crowes, and Little Black Submarines by The Black Keys. And maybe also Sky Blue and Black by Jackson Browne - does that count? Here’s more:

• Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix
• White Room by Cream (yes, that is Eric Clapton)
• White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane
• Black Magic Woman by Santana
• Paint it Black by The Rolling Stones
• Tangled Up in Blue by Bob Dylan
• Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison
• Little Green (way better than Big Yellow Taxi, IMHO) by Joni Mitchell, from her album called Blue 
• Pink Moon by Nick Drake
• Blue Letter by Fleetwood Mac
• Silver, Blue, and Gold by Bad Company
• Blue Morning, Blue Day by Foreigner
• Midnight Blue by Lou Gramm
• Fell on Black Days and Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
• Supermassive Black Hole by Muse
• Pale Black Eye by Manchester Orchestra
• Holdin’ On To Black Metal by My Morning Jacket
• Black Heart Inertia and A Certain Shade of Green by Incubus
• Blue Veins by The Raconteurs
• Blue Blood Blues by The Dead Weather
• The Red by Chevelle
• and one guilty pleasure: Lady in Red by Chris de Burgh

Hmmm. Incubus, who hardly ever covers anyone, has covered TWO of these songs (Paint it Black and Black Hole Sun). Is it great minds thinking alike? :-)

Cream - Crossroads

Nothing good on the alt stations, so I switched to classic vinyl and this was playing. I’d forgotten its greatness.
