Song: "Viva La Vida"
Artist: Coldplay
Album: Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends
Coldplay started off cool and indie and then took off when they released A Rush of Blood To the Head a few years back. Viva La Vida is their fourth album and while you might argue that Coldplay and U2 are becoming the same band, there are some killer songs on this record, including this title track.

Games People Play
Song: "Games People Play"
Artist: Alan Parsons Project
Album: Arista Heritage Series
Alan Parsons was the producer for Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, and his music is always melodic and interesting. This song may have been his most commercial offering.

Little Lies
Song: "Little Lies"
Artist: Ari Hest
Album: The Green Room Sessions
Ari Hest is one of my favorite singer/songwriters, and this is one of his lesser-known works. It was an EP that Hest recorded in his living room a few years ago, and this track is a cover of one of Fleetwood Mac's lesser-known hits.

Song: "Young Boys"
Artist: 8:05
Album: End Of Light
My friend Dave and I used to worship this band from upstate New York. So when I came across a greatest hits album online, I was stoked. If you can find this stuff, it's catchy prog-rock meets pop....sort of like early Todd Rundgren.

Susanna Hoffs
Song: "Darling One"
Artist: Susanna Hoffs
Album: Susanna Hoffs
I had a crush on Susanna when I was growing up, when she was lead singer of The Bangles. She was hot and had this really cute, sexy voice. Anyway, this was her first solo record and it shows that Hoffs is also a really great pop songwriter.

The Blakes
Song: "Commit"
Artist: The Blakes
Album: The Blakes
If you dig garage-y pop/rock (think The Plimsouls), The Blakes could be your new favorite band. There are a lot of pretentious bands that try too hard to emulate this sound, but few do it well. These guys are part of the few.

Joe Rohan
Song: "Counting Flies"
Artist: Joe Rohan
Album: Walk Along
I had the pleasure of representing this talented Ohio based singer/songwriter for a few years. He tells stories and weaves melodies around them really well...check him out if you have a chance and if you are in the Cleveland area, go see this guy play.
