All songs.
Aesop Rock - No Regrets
Intelligent, catchy rap.
Brian Vander Ark - And Then You Went Away
Acoustic rock, good songwriting in its totality, from Verve Pipe's lead singer
Chisel - 8 AM All Day
Very accessible indie rock from Ted Leo, before the Pharmacists
Dismemberment Plan - Girl O'Clock
Wildly wierd and fun post-punk, featuring stuttered vocals
Elliott Smith - Speed Trials
Mellow indie rock with beautiful vocals
Finger Eleven - Thousand Mile Wish
One of the few good nu-metal bands, the only great song off their newest
Glands - Livin' Was Easy
Indie rock with a distinct Tom Petty flavor (especially the vocals)
High Llamas - Checking In, Checking Out
Reminiscent of CSNY with its harmonies
Idlewild - You Held the World In Your Arms
Guitars and violin, somewhat lyrically repetitive yet instantly catchy
Jethro Tull - Aqualung
Classic rock, legendary riff
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
Classic prog rock, one of the genre's very best songs
Lake Trout - Bliss
Fusion of alternative rock and electronica, like an aural frieght train
Moss Icon - Gravity
Spoken vocals that manage to be hugely emotive, beautiful song
The original emo, nothing like Jimmy Eat World or Bright Eyes
Negro Problem - Lime Green Sweater
Doo wop-type classic pop (from 2002), strong lead vocals with gentle backing
Oasis - Rockin' Chair
In my mind, the most beautiful thing the band has done
Pernice Brothers - The Weakest Shade of Blue
Perfect pop music
Queens of the Stone Age - The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret
Stoner rock you'll want to sing along to
Rogue Wave - Kicking the Heart Out
Elliott Smith-type vocals, incredibly catchy
Stew - The Instrument of Pain
Negro Problem's lead singer, sugary yet clever and lovely folk song
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Where Have All the Rude Boys Gone?
Even more accessible than Chisel, with an exceptional round at the end
Unicorns - I Don't Wanna Die
A bit wierd, a bit artsy, but with its own brand of catchiness
Verve Pipe - Generations
NOT one-hit wonders. So much more. Great vocals and theme.
Wilco - Can't Stand It
Alt-country. Great lyrics and vocal passion.
XTC - Dear God
Passionate song blaming God for the world's ills
Yo LA Tengo - Stockholm Syndrome
Passive vocals, acoustic guitar, a bit folkish
Zero 7 - This World
Ethereal electronica-type music, R&B-type vocals
