Set List Recommended

 In this edition of Set List Recommended, my top pick is your Set List Reader's Choice.

As a refresher, 

1)  Your top favorite for the week was Versus Tuesday Farewell Edition.

2)  The Versus Tuesday Farewell Edition featured "Beautiful Morning" by Parov Stelar and "Beautiful Day" by U2.  

3)  In Set List Reader's Choice, I briefly touched on the background and success of "Beautiful Day."

4)  "Beautiful Morning" does not have a background and Parov Stelar's history is brief.  However, Parov Stelar's notable song, "The Sun," caught notice in my research...

...So as a throwback to my love for commercial jingles on Set List, "The Sun" was used in the Transitions Lenses advertisement some time ago.

In this post then, enjoy "The Sun" as first heard on television.

Kraftwerk - Autobahn

In his Desert Island Discs Vol. 2 series, Roger Taylor has presented uniquely personal interests in unique genres that inspired him and new musical insight.  This musical insight has gone on to inspire musicians wanting more than the established tones known well in the studio and on stage.  Duran Duran is an excellent example...

...In this post though, I am highlighting Roger's preference - "Autobahn" by Kraftwerk.

Versus Tuesday Farewell Edition

As a new month begins with a new season near, I sadly come to an end with Versus Tuesday.  The series had a profound and intriguing run since early January of this year, 2020.  Versus Tuesday was an exciting theme with Astronaut2005 Drummer v. Original Performance.  Versus Tuesday was an exciting theme to compare musicians recording the same titles under very different genres...

...And so in this Versus Tuesday Farewell Edition, I am featuring Parov Stelar's "Beautiful Morning" and U2's "Beautiful Day" - different song titles, different genres, but similar themes.

Enjoy!

"Beautiful Morning"

"Beautiful Day"
