There were lots of fun and interesting things today.  There was the 17:21 track "Bangla Dhun" by Ravi Shankar from The Concert for Bangladesh.  Also there was a combined 21:03 of two versions of "Bat Out of Hell" by Meat Loaf.  Additionally there was also 9:07 of The Battle Of Yavin from the Star Wars soundtrack.
Got to hear a few really great songs today (some that I haven't heard in a while), so here are my personal favorites for the day:
  • "Bad Things" by Jace Everett
  • "Bald Head" by Roy Byrd & His Blues Jumpers
  • "Ball and Chain" by Janis Joplin
  • "Ball of Confusion" by the Temptations
  • "Batdance" by Prince
