Ah…a CD day…the largest letter of the collection…the “S.”
Some highlights:
Son Volt – Who knew I could ever like country music, even alt-country. Apparently, these guys did.
Jill Sobule – a TED discovery. Still one of the funniest, sweetest, and most interesting songwriters today. Kind of today’s female Randy Newman, in my opinion.
Smashing Pumpkins – It seems to me they’re always forgotten in the conversations about the grunge scene and when it arrived. I marvel at how fresh and interesting their recordings STILL sound.
Soundgarden – Never forgotten in the above conversation. “Black Hole Sun” might be one of my top 10 favorite songs ever.
Smithereens – It’s amazing how well these guys’ sound has held up through the years. Still thrilled to hear them enter my headspace during a “workout shuffle session.”
