On occasion, celebrating the midweek hump with a meticulously curated selection of the most disrespectful, impolite, disgraceful, badass, head-banging, disturbing, irreverent, rebellious, or most enjoyable rock n roll of its time feels like a perfectly responsible thing to do, for some reason. Or no reason at all. Crank it up!
Why do you hate jazz (or rock, classical, country, etc.)? Italian physicist turned philosopher guitar theoretician Tommaso Zillio explains the importance of a balanced musical diet. In honor of Dr. Z’s hypothesis, HDT herewith presents a judiciously nutritious menu… of rock n roll, naturally.

Yesterday was actually hump day for our shortened U.S. Holiday workweek
Ooops. Ex-pats tend to miss these niceties of the calendar.
Thank you for the mix. Music soothes the soul. He says it best in the first 30 seconds.
Music is feeling. End of discussion. Great video.
Thank you, Karalan, and thanks for sharing your posts every week.
Yet you haven’t moved past the 80‘s
What can I say, the 80’s were a great decade for rock n roll. Balanced, nutritious, and tasty too!
This song covers what rock n roll means to me,happy bird day you all!

I get a tremendous kick out of these reaction videos. As a longtime fan of The Yes Album, I especially liked this one.
While they seem to enjoy it really do not need a few opinions on whether Yes and Starship Trooper has merit,the song rocks when needed and rolls when it rolls,awesome playing all across the board!!
Yes was a great band and am so glad among 100’s of other shows during the 70’s got to see them in their prime!
That said ,the video of the young lady who plays the flute reactions to Tull pretty good and the other young lady who is a vocalist and her reactions to Maiden” Bruce singing not bad.
That said,the fact that they are both easy on the eyes not a detriment!
This is the best version I can find easily,basically what I saw as a teen/great stuff!:
Tame indeed! In today’s world, its not so much “The Less I know the Better” it’s more like “The More I see, the Less I believe” More true today than 40 years ago when Discharge wrote this
