Samoas for the win, dude.

Okay, music I am down with:

1) The Wallflowers. You know, the "One Headlight" band? Led by Bob Dylan's son? "Red Letter Days" is my go-to John Sheppard album. Particularly This Song (http://download.yousendit.com/87BA0E35123842B6). (For sampling purposes, of cours. You don't want to buy music you don't like.)

2) Regina Spektor. I hated "On the Radio" when I first heard it, but it's grown on me and I loved "Fidelity" and most of her other songs straight off.

3) Sarah Harmer. She's a Canadian singer/songwriter who is kind of a cross between Sarah McLaughlin and Sheryl Crow. "You Were Here" (as an album) speaks to me most of all of them.

4) Alexa Ray Joel. Billy Joel's daughter has a sampler album out and it's only available on iTunes and at Target. It's only $5 at Target and $6 on iTunes (6 songs.) She sounds a little like a cross between her father and Regina Spektor (because of the piano.)

5) The "Cars" soundtrack if you like rock with a little country. Yes, the Pixar movie. I have unholy love for it. It's also the only one of the things on this list I don't have

Also, I have fits of occasionally needing everything, or specific somethings, from U2, Barenaked Ladies, DMB, or the Piano Man himself.

Samoas are the best ever!

Thanks for the recs. I haven't listened to The Wallflowers in forever. I'll give that song a try. And I love Sarah Harmer. I'll have to see what's there that I don't have.

Why are the Samoas not winning? Is it the Canadians? Is it the weird name-switch?

OMG, someone else loves Sarah Harmer! I only know of her because reccea did one of those, "this song reminds me of you" memes ages ago and I was like, "...Who?" so I had to go buy that song.

Also, if the Wallflowers thing doesn't download or something, erm...let me know, I'll try again. I threw it up in another post because I was all, Hey, 99 extra downloads, that's plenty, and then it occurred to me that there may be more people than that on my flist. Not that they all want it, but it was meant for you so I wanted to make sure you got it. :P

I was thinking in terms of albums and not individual songs, but if you think you'd want to go that way, I could probably pick out a few of my favorites.

I don't know why the Samoas aren't winning. It's very upsetting. They are clearly the best.

Someone on my flist (geekwriter143 maybe) posted a bunch of Sarah Harmer songs once, and I fell in love with her.

I got the Wallflowers dl, thanks. :)

Albums are good. I can always go to amazon.com to see if they have previews if I want so hear a single song. But if you wanted to pick your favorites, I wouldn't complain.
