• 10. 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins
  Very cathartic music that's dark but leaves a light at the end of the tunnel. I was born in '79 so I have to give props to this song!
• 9. Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind
  Doo-doo-doo, doo-doodoo-doo, doo-doo-doo! Does any song place me back in time better than this one? I remember popping this cassette single into the deck of my '87 Celica at the end of high school and start of college. I still don't know all the words, but I end up singing along the best I can each time I hear it.
• 8. Estoy Aqui by Shakira
  Shakira was already a star in San Antonio back in early 1999. I heard this song at a dance and this got me into Spanish pop music. Now I'm familiar with Mana, Moenia, Los Enanitos Verdes, Laura Pausini, and Paulina Rubio! And I'd just like to say I liked Shakira with dark hair better.
• 7. Wonderwall by Oasis
  This song sounds fresh every time I hear it. I get a rush of varying feelings whenever I hear this haunting song. And you've gotta love any music video with large saws in it!
• 6. The Impression That I Get by Mighty Mighty BossTones
  Try not to bounce around while driving when you hear this catchy contagious song. Most people actually think the name of the song is Knock On Wood! There really isn't anything like the BossTones, and I love the obligatory groans ("Uugggh!") that the lead singer throws into EVERY song they have. Plus, I've always enjoyed the one guy in the group whose only contribution to the band is his interpretive dancing.
• 5. Everything You Want by Vertical Horizon
  This song pretty much sums up how I've been treated by women in the past. I knew about Vertical Horizon about ten months before they really got going. Looking forward to a follow up album.
• 4. Write This Down by George Strait
  The song that introduced me to country music and the king of the genre. I remember hearing this song on vacation in the car with my dad. We were in the desert of Arizona, coming back from the Biosphere in Oracle and cranked this one up. There are about a half dozen George Strait songs I like more, but this got me started and tided me over until I found the Box Set.
• 3. I Knew I Loved You by Savage Garden
  This was a special song that I shared with a former girlfriend. I made an instrumental version of the song to be played as a duet between us on Valentine's Day for our respective instruments--clarinet (her) and classical guitar (me).
• 2. Kiss Me by Sixpence None the Richer
  This band was originally from New Braunfels, Texas and this song was at the top of the charts when I moved from California to the college town of San Marcos, only ten miles from where Leigh Nash and crew got started. This song made up for the acting of Freddie Prinze in She's All That.
• 1. Follow You Down by Gin Blossoms
  This band was very underrated and it was a shame that they broke up after only two great albums, but it's great to see them back on tour this summer. This song beats out tough competition from Till I Hear It From You and Hey Jealousy for my favorite Blossoms song.

Honorable Mentions: Runaway Train/Soul Asylum, Everything To Everyone/Everclear, Perfect Blue Buildings/Counting Crows, The Difference/Wallflowers, Name/Goo Goo Dolls, Insensitive/Jann Arden, Time of Your Life/Green Day, Who Needs Pictures/Brad Paisley, 3am/Matchbox Twenty
