"Dark Blue" Jack's Mannequin

 
















It's a tad on the whiney side, but Jack's Mannequin remains one of the best in the genre.

"The Departure" Gattaca


















If you didn't watch this movie in 10th grade biology, do it now. Movies are served best with compelling plots and beautiful music.

"Tempted" Squeeze

















This song can't possibly be 30 years old as indicated by Wikipedia. I refuse to believe it!

This is one of the less well-known tracks on this album, but it really shouldn't be.

"You Might Think" The Cars

 
















If you want to see one of the most bizarre music videos of the 80s, youtube this gem. If not, simply enjoy a listen.

"Ashes & Fire" Ryan Adams

















This album goes to show that Ménière's can't keep a good singer/songwriter down. Fighting the good fight, making the good music.

"Rock Me Mama (Wagon Wheel)" Bob Dylan

 















After polling friends at country night, I discovered very few people know the OCMS hit came from a rough cut of a Mr. Dylan tune. Listen and be enlightened.

Sometimes the songs that pop into my head frighten me. Though there's no denying, this song is stupendous.

"Roll to Me" Del Amitri

















Have I really not posted this yet?? My apologies, this quintessential 90s tune should have been featured MUCH earlier.
