Rocktober is Upon Us!

Well folks, we're here again at the greatest month of the year:  Rocktober!  I've been admittedly slacking over the last six months, but I dare not leave you in the lurch in October.

This year's theme is cover songs.  There are so many great covers out there, and it's time we celebrate those that rock.  And because combining words is a passion of mine, it will be called Coverocktober.

As I do every October, I'm gonna give you a daily dose of rock, at least on the weekdays. Because we're dealing with covers, I'll not only give you the cover song, but also the original, so that you can compare.  There will be no repeated artists during the course of the month.  I'm going to try my best not to repeat songs that I have featured in prior Rocktobers, but I make no promises.  As always, the week leading up to Halloween will feature songs with dark, evil, or macabre themes.  And my Friday choices will, of course, be from hair bands.  Retro Video of the Week will be suspended during Rocktober, but Hair Band Friday will continue because Hair Band Friday will cease only once the star that provides our planet with light and life explodes.  

As always, remember that this is Rocktober, so these will all be bands, artists, and songs that rock, even though they may not always be from genres or artists that you would consider "rocking" or "rockers."  Just so we're clear, this isn't a "greatest cover songs" exercise.  Rather, it's a 20-day showcase of rocking covers.  There will be popular songs, songs that you may never had heard before, and maybe even some bands and artists you've never heard of.  But by God, everything will rock.
