Song: "This Christmas"
Artist: Donnie Hathaway
Album: This Christmas & Be There
Donnie Hathaway was one of the more unheralded, amazing, R&B singers ever. He sadly passed away in 1979 in what was ruled a suicide, but his music lives on. This is one of my favorite holiday tunes, especially with Donnie singing it, and a good way to officially kick off the holiday season today as a lot of you go shopping.

Bruce Hornsby
Song: "The River Runs Low"
Artist: Bruce Hornsby
Album: The Way It Is
When you think if '80's music, chances are you don't think of this Bruce Hornsby album. But let me tell you, this album is one of the lesser acclaimed but incredible albums from the decade. It's pure emotive, piano-driven, Americana-tinged melodic pop.

Motorcycle Drive By
Song: "Motorcycle Drive By"
Artist: Third Eye Blind
Album: Third Eye Blind
On Third Eye Blind's first album, the last four songs are all dark and gloomy and beautiful at the same time, and this is one of them. This is one of my favorite albums of the '90's, hands down.

Roundabout
Song: "Roundabout"
Artist: Yes
Album: Fragile
I know, I know...we've all heard this song a million times on classic rock radio, but I do remember in my childhood playing this album over and over, as well as Led Zeppelin "IV"....what can I say? And it's worth mentioning that Yes has always been known for their super cool album covers.

Smokin' In the Boys Room
Song: "Smokin' In the Boys Room"
Artist: Brownsville Station
Album: Yeah!
Ah, one of those one-hit wonders from the '70's that I love so much. This was a novelty song of sorts, but it does sort of rock. No, really!

HotSocky
Song: "Believe"
Artist: HotSocky
Album: HotSocky
I don't know if this band is still making music, but this debut came out maybe six or seven years ago, and blew me away. It's raw garage rock but with melodies. If you can find this anywhere, grab it.
