Discovering new music is great! Nothing like hearing a song that grabs your attention and then going to every length to try and find who that artist is and learning everything about them. That's one of the main reasons we started this blog. So to honour that feeling, along with our weekly song picks, Mr.T, Rob and I are going to name 3 songs from the other lads' lists that made it to our daily playlists. As usual Rob, get us started would ya?

Rob

Mr. T Picks

Bob Marley - "Redemption Song"
Hall & Oates - "I Can't Go For That"
The Police - "So Lonely"

G-Man Picks

The Submarines - "1940" (Amplive Remix)
Hootie & The Blowfish - "Sad Caper"
Semisonic - "Singing In My Sleep"

Elvis Costello - "Watching The Detectives"

Mr. T

St. Paul & The Broken Bones - "Call Me"

G-Man

Rob Picks

Garrity - "The Rain" (It was familiar to me, but before Rob picked it I couldn't name it)
Eve 6 - "Bring The Night On" (A great song, from a great band, from an album I didn't even know existed)
Jimmy Eat World - "Just Tonight" (Shame on me for really only knowing the singles from Jimmy Eat World)

Mr. T Picks

Steely Dan - "Dirty Work" (The more I hear from this band the more I like it. A sick, soft jam)
Tommy James - "Draggin' A Line"(A perfect song for sitting on a sunny patio with a cold beverage, watching the world go by. A lost passtime)
Willie Nelson - "Give Me Sunshine" (Gotta love Willie)

Pearl Jam - "Light Years"

Pearl Jam's 2000 album Binaural is often overlooked or cast aside as being mediocre. While the single from the album "Nothing As It Seems" is not the most memorable track, Binaural is loaded with fantastic songs of all styles. Hard hitting "Breakerfall", acoustic jams like "Of The Girl" & "Thin Air" and the Who-esque "Soon Forget". "Light Years" to me has always been this album's hero. It takes me back to simpler, and often more enjoyable days
