‘Possum Kingdom’ seems a little out of place after making a comeback in Guitar Hero II.

Freedy Johnston would be delighted to receive the royalty checks the other songs in your list generate.

It turns out that I was wrong about Freedy Johnston. I love that song, but apparently no one else remembers it. After days of discussion I have decided that I should have gone with Duncan Shiek’s ‘Barely Breathing’.

is this the band that sings counting blue cars?
those kinda look like the annoying songs i learned to play and still have on my itunes.
low is the best song on that list. i hope you don’t think it is on the same level as cumbersome. it’s not.

I agree with andy, and I would also include “no rain” as a song that is on different level than the rest of those songs.

yes. very true. no rain is on a different level. probably even different than low. but i like cracker.

I wasn’t assigning artistic value to any of the songs mentioned on the list. It was more about bands that were identified for one song and only that song.
