Rage Against The Machine-The Ghost Of Tom Joad

When you do a covers album, go big with your own twist, or go home. Rage's version moved The Boss so much that now, he covers it repeatedly with Tom Morello.

The highway is alive tonight, nobody's fooling nobody as to where it goes.

Bob Dylan-Things Have Changed

Zimmy's Time Out Of Mind resurgence kept going when this gem dropped out of nowhere in The Wonderboys. Bob's resurgence has since continued. The last 25 years of his new releases have far more ups than downs.

I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range.

Sleater-Kinney-All Hands On The Bad One

SK's 5th album smartly played into their strengths again with spontaneous songwriting and quick studio sessions. Of the All Hands tracks, the title cut typically makes the setlists today.

You can't get into heaven with a three-chord song.

The White Stripes-Hello Operator

Though not their humble beginnings as De Stijl was TWSs sophomore release, they were up and coming; fine-tuning a solid garage rock sound. Today, this tune could pass as a Jack White solo cut.

Mailman, bring the paper, leave it on my windowsill.

Eels-Mr. E's Beautiful Blues

With a sunny 65° F late October day coming today in Minnesota, it's easy to have this song's chorus rolling through your head. Also, who else hears the intro and remembers their Nokia phone? 🤚🏻📱📳📳📳

The ringmaster's Telecaster sings on an empty stage.

Oasis-Go Let It Out

A new Oasis album was another opportunity to see which one of Noel's influences would be featured in what song. Strawberry Fields threads right into this bugger seamlessly.

Life is precocious in the most peculiar way, sister psychosis don't got a lot to say.

Doves-Catch The Sun

MTV'S video channels are going dark overseas 1/1/26. Sorry to any in our countdown group that are viewers. 😔 Original MTV overnight binges was my new music discovery-like this one-and many others.

I've always been up and down, never wanted to hit the ground.

Matchbox 20-If You're Gone

With Rob Thomas coming off of the white-hot heels of Smooth, the pressure was high to feature a pop sound for Matchbox's sophomore album. Though they reluctantly did, a few songs-like this one-hold up.

I can't relate, and that's a problem I'm feeling.

Incubus-Drive

Make Yourself has a great slow burn to double platinum album story because of Drive. It sat on the bench as an album cut for over a year, Incubus released it as a last minute single, then it becomes their biggest hit.

It seems to have a vague haunting mass appeal.

Shaggy-It Wasn't Me (w/Rikrok)

Boombastic was quotable and had that dancehall/reggae fusion groove that got us teens at the time moving. When Shaggy came back with this one, we were in our 20s and he got the same results. 💃🏻🕺🏻

Trespasser and witness, all the hacklin' a ya pillow.

The Wallflowers-Sleepwalker

Hey again, everyone! 👋🏻 Hard to believe we've already gone a quarter of a century down the road with these songs! Starting out with The Wallflowers, Jakob Dylan's solo vehicle to date.

UT double shot! With polarizing styles on their swan song, it's clear that Jeff and Jay were growing apart. Jeff's songwriting has vastly grown since, which is fortunate. I can't picture life now without Wilco in it.
