Song: "We Just Disagree"
Artist: Dave Mason
Album: Let It Flow
I remember when this song came out from former Traffic member Dave Mason, and the harmonies were just magical. They still are magical today, 30 or so years later. And dude is still making music today.

Way Away
Song: "Way Away"
Artist: Yellowcard
Album: Ocean Avenue
This Florida rock band does pop/rock that is absolutely blistering, the kind of music that is great for working out to, or driving really fast with the windows rolled down.

In the Summertime
Song: "In the Summertime"
Artist: Mungo Jerry
Album: Barry Williams Presents '70's Music Explosion
Yeah, this song is pretty cheesy, but dammit if it doesn't bring me back to the '70's and summers when nothing mattered but playing wiffle ball in the driveway and eating ice cream.

Let it Rain
Song: "Let It Rain"
Artist: Amanda Marshall
Album: Amanda Marshall
This Canadian artist could really wail.....does anyone know what she's up to these days? This album came out in the mid '90's and I listened to it like a million times.

Wanna Be
Song: "Wanna Be"
Artist: Nine Days
Album: The Madding Crowd
This band kind of came and went after their big hit, "Story of a Girl," from this debut album. For my money though, this is the best track on the album, and I'll go as far as to say it's one of my favorite songs ever. Slow, pulsing, and brimming with emotion, it's positively gut-wrenching and has a haunting melody.

Life in a Northern Town
Song: "Life in a Northern Town"
Artist: The Dream Academy
Album: The Dream Academy
Some songs are just soundtrack bits to our lives, and this one was one of those songs for me in the mid '80's. Listening to WLIR on Long Island, I was falling in love with all of the great "new" music that was coming from the UK and everywhere else.

Matchbox Twenty
Song: "Unwell"
Artist: Matchbox Twenty
Album: More Than You Think You Are
It's funny how critics like to bust on bands like this who write sugary pop hits while the artist laughs all the way to the bank. Matchbox has never been a cutting edge or critic's darling type band, and I am willing to bet they don't care one bit. Good for them.
