8. fallen (afterglow)--sarah mclachlan
9. you give me love (faith)--faith hill
10. superman (america town)--five for fighting
BONUS: if i had my way (gold)--linda eder

General Thoughts: Good, strong mix of songs...not one that I dislike. Pretty eclectic, but that's me!

Seen Live: Rent, Tracy Grammer (unfortunately, I never saw Dave Carter in action), Dar Williams, Guster, The Nields, Linda Eder

Favorite Song: I'll go with Better Things. It's probably my favorite Dar song and she didn't even write it. Fun to sing along to, fun to drive to, just all-around fun.

Least Favorite Song: If I had to choose, I'd say Amsterdam just because I think it's weak in comparison to the "old school" Guster sound.

Favorite Album: Gold is a great album. Linda's voice is among my favorites in the world, and Gold is a great variety of different styles of music, all of which she handles with ease and grace.

Particularly enjoying right now: I Go Like the Raven is among my favorite of DC's music. With a fiddle in Tracy's hand, the song just makes me smile. It's also the first song I heard Tracy perform. I love it.

Memory Trigger: Eye of the Tiger always brings me back to basketball camp and the high school gym.
