1. The Replacements – Alex Chilton
“It’s my favorite Replacements song because it was written for a friend of The Replacements that died… I think that songs that are written for specific people mean more.”
2. Soul Asylum – Black Gold
“I first discovered Soul Asylum when we saw them live at the Cedar Cultural Center last year and I decided to look up their music and I really like this song.”
3. Dessa – Fighting Fish
“When I’m looking for songs I look for songs that make me feel something even if I don’t know why… Fighting Fish immediately captured my attention.”
4. Howler – This One’s Different
“It’s just one of those songs that I can jam out to.”
5. Atmosphere – Kanye West
“Sometimes I listen to a song for one line and for this song the line ‘put your hands in the air like you really do care’ makes me laugh.”
6. Trip Shakespeare – Turtledove
“This one one of my favorite childhood songs. I used to listen to it a lot in elementary school so this is one of my favorites.”
7. Jeff Buckley – Lover, You Should’ve Come Over
“So this song in general, it’s my favorite Jeff Buckley song. His voice is just so soulful and passionate and honest. I can’t help but to just listen to that song.”
8. Leonard Cohen – So Long, Marianne
“Leonard Cohen, though his voice isn’t super melodic, he always just kind of gets into your head and that song is so catchy that I just have to love it.”
9. Jimi Hendrix – All Along the Watchtower

“Tim Buckley, who is Jeff Buckley’s father, had an amazing voice. This has been my favorite song for so many years now.”
11. White Rabbits – Percussion Gun
“It’s got one of the best drumlines I’ve ever heard. My sister and brother and I used to always dance around to this when I was young.”
12. XTC – Dear God
