This playlist was assembled in iTunes, and the first one finished on Spotify. I don't know for how long I will use Spotify to create, or re-create playlists, but this was the first. Several of the songs on here are not available on Spotify (see notes, below).
- Squeeze "Up The Junction"
- Ben Gibbard "Teardrop Windows"
- Graham Parker "Get Started, Start a Fire" heard on WERS. My first-ever Graham Parker song on a playlist. Only took 157 tries!
- Jamestown Revival "Love is a Burden"
- Pearl Jam "Dissident" - I just sold my still-sealed 1993 copy of Versus on vinyl for $37 on eBay.
- Bruce Springsteen "The Promised Land"
- Boy & Bear "Southern Sun"
- The Corrs feat/Bono "When The Stars Go Blue" - Forget Leonard Cohen's "Alleluia". This is my favorite "modern standard" ballad that everyone covers.
- Adele "I Can't Make You Love Me" [live] - from a live CD that was bundled with her Live At Royal Albert Hall DVD.
- Aerosmith "What It Takes"
- Red Rider "Lunatic Fringe" - a one-hit wonder I remember perfectly from the 1980s on WBCN...that I would never have been able to name even if you put a gun to my head. Thanks to George for sharing it in response to the Trump candidacy. Red Rider featured Tom Cochrane, who would produce a bigger one-hit wonder in 1992 with "Life Is A Highway"
- Wilco "The Boys are Back in Town" [live] - this Thin Lizzy cover is from an official bootleg recorded at Solid Sound 2013 where the band's entire 27-song set was all-covers and all by request.
- Bastille "Good Grief"
- Jerry Harrison "Rev It Up" - I have owned his Casual Gods CD for many years yet never played it. I heard this song (with its heavy Talking Heads vibe) on WERS.
- Heart "Never"
- Jagwar Ma "Come Save Me"
- The Beatles "It's All Too Much"
- Aimee Mann "Say Anything" - another song I love whose title I didn't know. Heard on WERS, the undergrad DJ called this a "golden oldie".
- Bob Dylan "Absolutely Sweet Marie"
