I first heard this song on the radio when I was just a kid. It has stuck with me all these years. Here is What About Me? by Moving Pictures

More symphonic prog for today, Earthside is performing Mob Mentality here with the Moscow Studio Symphony Orchestra:

I grew up with this group, listening (and playing along) so often that I wore out the vinyl. The note held for one full minute in this song (at the 2:00 mark) taught me about circular breathing. If you've never explored the Crusaders, you're missing an important piece of American music history. If you dig this song, try the album "Gold" for an intro. Here's So Far Away, recorded live at the Roxy in 1974:

Electric Pow Wow Drum by The Halluci Nation (formerly A Tribe Called Red). What else can I say, I love guys, their music and their mission.

OK, it's time to bust out some glorious prog. One of my favorite groups in that genre is Haken. Most of their songs are not quite as corny/cool as this video, but it's a great intro to their flavor. Here is Cockroach King by Haken (if you want to explore them more, I'd highly recommend the albums The Mountain and 1985):

This may not be for everyone, but the more I listen to it, the more interesting and haunting it becomes. It's like the soundtrack to a beautiful yet unsettling dream. Here is The Gone Away by Belbury Poly.

I usually only do one per day, but just saw a RDJr post, so here is a song by Robert Downey, Jr. (he wrote it, produced it, sang it and played piano on this track - really a very interesting album, overall)

I only discovered The Enid a few years ago, but they are easily one of the most interesting "rock" bands I've ever encountered. Led by composer Robert John Godfrey, Enid songs are instantly recognizable, as he seamlessly blends elements of smart rock with lyrical, beautiful classical themes. Today's pick is special to me, and gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

Someone Shall Rise, by The Enid.

I first listened to Jarre's music when I was a teenager, and to this day these albums - especially the older ones - remain prominent on my desert island pick list. Something about these mathematical arpeggios digs deep into my (odd) brain, and soothes me.

So today's music pick is the entire album Equinoxe, by Jean-Michel Jarre. Listen on headphones for maximum impact.

Reflexion by mouse on the keys, one of the tightest modern jazz groups you'll ever see (although they often veer into rock, rap, and odd mixed genres).

If you've never listened to Thank You Scientist, today is your day to start. Such a great band. And what better way to be initiated than this joyous performance with the Bluecoats (holy cow! those mallets at 3:27!)

Something gentle and peaceful for today, which is already stressful enough for some people (like me). Layers (album) by AAESPO. Plus, as a trumpet player I dig everything by this guy.

When I started this daily list I promised eclectic picks, so here you go. This piece by Puffy AmiYumi called アジアの純真 (Asia no Junshin) clearly has a strong ELO/Jeff Lynne influence, so in my book it's already more than halfway to greatness.

Code's eclectic music pick of the day is:

The Jeff Lorber Fusion
Wizard Island
This is back when one of the four band members was a guy named Kenneth Gorelick. But trust me, that alone is not a reason to dismiss this great album.

He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot, by Grandaddy

If you've never listened to Grandaddy and you dig this piece, check the whole album, makes a good Sunday soundtrack. (The Sophtware Slump).
