"There's a time in life for Hoagy Carmichael. There's a time in life for Claude Debussy. There's a time in life for Jerry Lee Lewis. There's a time in life for Destiny's Child. All these things have their moment." ~Elvis Costello

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.

if “Africa” by Toto isn’t the “Bohemian Rhapsody” of the 80’s, it’s among a short list of finalists. Like the Outfield’s “Your Love” and, of course, “Don’t Stop Believin'” its appeal is timeless, its cover versions endless.
These two guys do a better job than you might expect from two guys in shorts at a pizza parlour. Respect!
