The Wannadies: “Skin” (2002)
Nothing too complicated going on here. It is, as they say, what it is.

My Morning Jacket: “Golden” (2003)
Still my favorite MMJ track, it makes me want to get out Decade and listen to Neil Young tunes from back when he was all heart. Nowadays he couldn’t be more self-absorbed if he were made up of equal parts water and paper towel. (I think that line might belong to Dennis Miller.)
Anyway, a beautiful song I think.

Delegation: “Oh Honey” (1979)
Another lost R&B gem, from Delegation, an oddly named trio based in England and comprised of two Jamaicans and a Texan.

Donna Summer with Ziggy Marley: “Crayons” (2008)
The title track to Donna Summer’s 2008 album features Ziggy Marley’s vocals on a song co-written by Summer. Feel-good music if there ever was such thing.

The Stone Roses: “Made of Stone” (1989)
From the album that kickstarted the “Madchester” Britpop period of the 1990’s and helped The Stone Roses win four British NME awards in 1989: Band of the Year, Best New Band, Album of the Year, and Single of the Year. But when they tried to sign to a major label afterwards and their label, Silvertone, would not release them, legal battles delayed their second album’s release and prevented the band from consolidating its success.
Stone Roses were England’s “It” band for a brief time, but never made much of a mark in America. Their sound seems to owe a lot to 60’s garage rock.
