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.

Simply Red: “For Your Babies” (1992)

If you have young ones in your life, I think this song will touch your heart.

The Wannadies: “Skin” (2002)

Nothing too complicated going on here. It is, as they say, what it is.

golden

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

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.
