The Songs

1. Album cover for Weezer

Bright, fast power pop with a sharp opening riff and a burst of early-90s alt-rock energy.

A thoughtful folk-rock song with a steady pace and clear, understated vocal delivery.

3. Album cover for Americana

A big late-90s radio anthem that leans into satire and punchy punk-pop hooks.

Classic southern rock with a bar-band swing and a strong bluesy groove.

5. Album cover for St. Elmo's Fire (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
"St. Elmos Fire (Man In Motion)" - John Parr (St. Elmo's Fire (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), 1985)

An urgent, synth-driven movie theme built for uplift and forward motion.

6. Album cover for Sundown
"Sundown" - Gordon Lightfoot (Sundown, 1974)

A country-folk standard from a songwriter known for vivid storytelling and an easy, melodic pull.

A spare, emotionally direct ballad that helped define late-80s singer-songwriter radio.

8. Album cover for Ain't A Damn Thing Changed

Quick-tongued East Coast hip-hop with a playful, old-school bounce.

9. Album cover for Tragic Kingdom
"Spiderwebs" - No Doubt (Tragic Kingdom, 1995)

Skittering pop-rock with nervous guitar lines and a restless feel.

10. Album cover for Cockamamie

An overlooked mid-90s rock track with a strong melodic core and a clean, direct sound.

11. Album cover for Us (Remastered)

"One Night In Bangkok (Original Single Version / From “Chess”)" - Murray Head (One Night In Bangkok (From “Chess”) - Single, 2016)

A theatrical pop number with a sly narrative and a cabaret-style sense of drama.
