Blush

Song: "Why"
Artist: Blush
Album: Blush

I'm not sure what this female-fronted Ohio rock band is up to these days, but man, they have some great songs and a killer sound. Think maybe a modern-day Concrete Blonde but with more edge.

A-Ha

Song: "Take On Me"
Artist: A-Ha
Album: Hunting High and Low

This is one of the great songs from the 80s and the early MTV generation, and one that takes me back to 1985 whenever I hear it. That's the beauty of music.

George Harrison

Song: "What Is Life"
Artist: George Harrison
Album: All Things Must Pass

This stuff recently became available on iTunes, and I couldn't be happier. My brother had this album on vinyl and I remember going down the basement in our Long Island home and listening to it over and over again. People I think tend to forget what a great songwriter George was when they compare him to John and Paul.

Silly Love Songs

Song: "Silly Love Songs"
Artist: Wings
Album: Wings Over America

I've got the live version of this great pop song from Paul McCartney and company, but in the studio version you can really hear what I believe is one of Sir Paul's greatest bass lines ever.

Long Way Down

Song: "Long Way Down"
Artist: Pete Yorn
Album: Day I Forgot

Speaking of "forgot," this album is all but forgotten in Pete Yorn Nation. It's his sophomore effort and the more rocking followup to the incredible Musicforthemorningafter, and has a few really great songs on it including this one.

Addicted To Me

Song: "Addicted To Me"
Artist: The Click Five
Album: Modern Minds and Pastimes

If you haven't heard this young pop/rock band yet, you need to check them out. This is from their latest album, which is every bit as catchy as their last record and then some. There are eighties flavors in here, and these kids just really know how to write good songs.

April McLean

Song: "So Far Away"
Artist: April McLean
Album: Becoming

If you throw a rock in Nashville, you'll hit a singer/songwriter. But some of them stand out, including piano playing rocker April McLean. This is from one of her earlier efforts and it's a really great song.
