Atlantik: “All Aboard” (2001)
If you take a cruise in the Caribbean, you’re likely to hear this one at one time or another. One of my favorite soca tunes–it’s got hooks aplenty.

A nice Saturday morning sentiment. I think there may be actual moonshine being consumed in this video. It almost does slip away around 2:12, but they recover nicely.
The guy who forgot to turn off his phone bears striking resemblance to a certain frequent commenter on this very blog…

Hanson: “Running Man” (2007)
As someone points out in the comments under this song’s YouTube video, this really sounds like Maroon 5. It hadn’t occurred to me, but I agree. And it’s no insult to either band to be compared to the other.
Hanson has grown into a very credible pop rock band who unfortunately will probably never live down the incredible success of “MMMBop”, which typecast them as kiddie bubblegum forever. Too bad: lots of people will miss out on a pretty good band.

Ruben Romero: “Cathedral Bells” (1997)
What a soothing sound. So many great albums go out of print in CD form, probably never to return. If you like Romero’s sound, better scarf up a used copy while you can.

Sugar: “If I Can’t Change Your Mind” (1992)
From an album countless fans tell of their nostalgia for, the debut album by the band Bob Mould formed after the dissolution of Hüsker Dü. A great album: guitars buzz and catchy melodies abound.
