Dammit, there are just too many songs to try to think of ones that really stand out, although Aimee Mann has written some crackers, her album Whatever is full of them, but Fourth Of July is as good as they get, or Coming Up Close from Welcome Home, when she was with ‘Til Tuesday. Her songs are so good a Tom Cruise movie was constructed around an album she was recording at the time.
Hmmm, Talking Heads’ Once In A Lifetime, Robbie Robertson Somewhere Down The Crazy River, Elvis Costello Shipbuilding, QOTSA No One Knows, Nils Lofgren Night Fades Away, Michael Nesmith Different Drum, The Kinks Days, Jeff Buckley Grace, Indigo Girls Kid Fears and Chickenman, Gnarls Barkley Crazy, Gerry Rafferty Baker Street, Whatever’s Written In Your Heart, Don’t Speak Of My Heart.
All fantastic songs, all, in their own way, perfect and sublime. 😀
