It’s not fair that a band with no guitar player gets one of the best guitar entrances ever.
Strangely addictive tune that sounds ancient and totally futuristic at the same time. Not every band can be this wordy and still rock an incredible shuffle feel.
AMERICAN MUSIC CLUB, “WHAT GODZILLA SAID TO GOD WHEN HIS NAME WASN’T FOUND IN THE BOOK OF LIFE” Perfect marriage between a totally singular songwriter (Mark Eitzel) and equally unique production.

GIRL BROS., “I’VE GOT NO STRINGS”
7)
CROWDED HOUSE, “KILL EYE”

SUZANNE VEGA, “99.9F”
If Pinocchio rolled in a Range Rover...
Scary groove, cracked keyboard sounds, creepy concept, still irresistible.
Remember that song “Luka”? This makes it look dumb.

RON SEXSMITH, “WHILE YOU’RE WAITING” The greatest use of a steel drum in the history of pop music (sorry, Jimmy Buffett).
TOM WAITS, “THE EARTH DIED SCREAMING” Every apocalypse deserves a beautiful closing blast of mellotron.
