The Songs

A hard-driving soul groove with Brown’s tight band and rhythmic momentum front and center.

2. Album cover for The Burdens of Being Upright
"Mother Mother" - Tracy Bonham (The Burdens of Being Upright, 1996)

A sharp grunge-era anthem built around a noisy guitar burst and a frustrated chorus.

3. Album cover for Queensrÿche: Greatest Hits
"Silent Lucidity" - Queensrÿche (Queensrÿche: Greatest Hits, 2000)

A power ballad with a dramatic acoustic opening and a big, polished chorus.

"If I Ever Lose My Faith In You" - Sting (Ten Summoner's Tales (Expanded Edition), 1993)

A polished early-’90s pop-rock single with a steady bass line and clean production.

5. Album cover for Frogstomp (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)
"Tomorrow (Remastered)" - Silverchair (Frogstomp (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition), 1995)

A bruising alternative-rock cut that pairs heavy guitars with an urgent, anthemic feel.

6. Album cover for Eve 6

A catchy late-’90s alt-rock song with a bright hook and a jittery, upbeat pulse.

7. Album cover for Evergreen, Vol. 2
"Different Drum" - The Stone Poneys (Evergreen, Vol. 2, 1967)

A classic folk-rock staple with a breezy melody and a strong Laurel Canyon-era feel.

8. Album cover for Longer Fuse
"Sometimes When We Touch" - Dan Hill (Longer Fuse, 1977)

A lush pop ballad known for its romantic lyric and soft, soaring arrangement.

9. Album cover for Heart in Motion

A glossy crossover pop hit that helped define Amy Grant’s mainstream breakthrough.

10. Album cover for Weight
"Liar" - Rollins Band (Weight, 1994)

A raw, confrontational hard-rock track with spoken-word intensity and a long, crushing build.

11. Album cover for Let's Go! the Best of Splitsville
"Ponce De Leon" - Splitsville (Let's Go! the Best of Splitsville, 2007)

A brief, tuneful pop number with a power-pop bounce and a light, clipped arrangement.

"Take the Skinheads Bowling" - Camper Van Beethoven (Telephone Free Landslide Victory, 1985)

An off-kilter college-rock favorite with a sing-song chorus and deadpan absurdity.
