Z is for ZZ Top

We’re headed back to the US today – Houston, Texas – for the last day of the A to Z Challenge. It’s been quite a ride. We’ve travelled the world (North America, Ireland and the UK anyway). What better group to sing us out of the challenge than these ‘Sharped Dressed Men’.

Bet you thought the letter X would stymie me. It didn’t. We’re remaining in England and are headed off to Swindon today for the birthplace of the band, XTC.

Who

W is for (The) Who

It’s back to the UK for today’s guests. If you’re too young to remember The Who from your childhood, you’ll probably recognise a number of their songs since they were used as the theme song for the CSI programs. Who are You? Won’t get fooled again, and Baba O’Riley…

We’re back in Canada, Toronto, Ontario specifically for today’s band. Their song I’m featuring today was in the movie Easy Rider with Peter Fonda among others.

Runrig
R is for Runrig

Back north we go to the Isle of Skye in Scotland for today’s band. Runrig performs a combination of traditional Scottish music and rock music, or Celtic rock, if you will. I prefer their older material, back in the day when Donnie Munro was their lead singer.

Queen
Q is for Queen

We’re staying in London today’s group. Classic Queen back in the day before Freddie Mercury passed away. His vocal range was amazing.

To me, this is the quintessential Queen song.
