So many others to choose from that I hate to leave any of them out, but these are the ones I’ve listened too the most! If you haven’t heard of ‘em, please…check them out!
I think R.E.M. - Accelerate will move off your list. The songs are catchy but get boring quick. Too early to tell.
I disagree with you on 18th Floor Balcony…that song is beautiful. if you’ve ever caught them live, he sings it amazingly.
Fair enough. I haven’t seen ‘em live. But I would like too!
