Music of the '70s, '90s, and today!
I love anything that sounds like a grizzled drifter.
I love that the drummer is the only one bringing the crazy, while every one else mellowly goes about their work.

57. “Evil Woman” by Electric Light Orchestra (1975)
Strings + rock = fabulous combination. Also, fun falsetto.
Who knew Jeff Lynne had eyes?
58. “Paper Bag” by Fiona Apple (1999)
So many things to love: horn section, angry girl lyrics, and a melody in my range.
Happy birthday, Daddy?
59. “The Heart of Life” by John Mayer (2006)
I enjoy the inherent contradiction of playing an electric guitar gently like an accoustic, but I think it benefits this song. It gives the cheesiness with an edge that supports the song's lyrics.
I recommend this song for epic emotional breakdowns.
60. “Chop ‘em Down” by Matisyahu (2004)
Live at Stubb's is one of those albums I bought on a whim and have never regretted it. I'm tragically undereducated about Matisyahu's other work, but I love this guy live.
I think my favorite song by ELO is "Twilight" from the album "Time." It's a bit more new-wave than their more famous songs, but still features their signature strings.

If only Isaac really was also a Hasidic Reggae Superstar.
