Just a quick post to showcase a few songs I'm in love with right now.

The Counting Crows-A Long December
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1D5PtyrewSs
I've been on a pretty serious 90s kick lately, and this is one of those songs I never really paid attention to back in the day. I'm not even that big of a fan of the Counting Crows, but there's something that gets to me about this song. I drive to Cleveland almost every day, and it's made me realize that this song is Ohio.

Adele-Rumor Has It

I thought I loved "Rolling in the Deep" until the radio killed it. Then I heard this, and I was hooked on Adele once again.

Ray LaMontagne-Repo Man

First, the groove. Second, the voice. Third, dance.
Best song I've heard in a long time.

TV on the Radio-Will Do
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXLpXu9T7j0&ob=av2e
This is one of those bands that I feel like I should love, but have always left me kind of cold (except for "Wolf Like Me"). With this song, they seemed to have stopped caring about being hip and just made something stunningly lovely.

Pearl Jam-Alive (live at Pink Pop '92)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbhsYC4gKy4
Closing out with another classic from the 90s. When I was younger, I always insisted that I didn't like Pearl Jam, or much grunge at all for that matter. Lately. while working on a massive 90s playlist, I started digging around a lot of early 90s grunge and I realized that every early Pearl Jam song I found was really damn good. So, I found a live performance to watch and see what they were like in their prime. I have rarely, if ever, seen a frontman like Eddie Vedder was back in 1992. This is a powerhouse performance from the entire band. Watch it. You'll thank me.
