15. The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore - Frankie Valli
I actually just discovered this song when I watched on of the latest Supernatural episodes, Meta Fiction (which is probably my new favorite episode of season 9, by the way.) They played it at the end of the episode, and at first I didn't really pay any mind to it. But then I re-watched the episode and it kinda stood out to me, so I Shazam-ed it (Shazam is a music identification app) and it's been stuck in my head ever since. I'm not sure what it is about older, slightly cheesy-sounding music like this that I love so much (*cough*BeachBoys*cough*) but yeah, the only real reason this one's at the bottom of my list is because I only started listening to it yesterday. (TBH it kinda makes me sad though, because now I just think back to the scene they showed while playing the song with Cas and the angel siren and asdfghjkl METATRON Y U DO DIS)
14. Kingpin - Wilco
Yay, more Wilco! I love, love, love this band, and this was one of the songs that made me regret not doing to Wilco show in SoR haha. It's amazing. That is all.
13. Ramona - Guster
I only recently found this band through the Phish radio station I created on iTunes. (Why Guster was one of the bands on Phish radio, I don't know.) And so I listened to some more of their stuff and found that they were pretty chill. And btw this is a totally last-minute addition to this list but I don't even care because THIS SONG.
12. My Time - Minus the Bear
This song xD
Ahh where do I begin? I guess how I ever found this band, which was how I discovered most of my favorite bands: My music teacher and best friend, Duane. He actually recommended Minus the Bear for this cover/jam band I might be in this summer (we're all good friends so we plan on jamming) but I thought this song was really catchy and fun and may or may not have ended up dancing to it (and possibly filming it on my iPhone) but we don't talk about that.
11. Gumboots - Paul Simon
THIS SONG IS SO FUN. I have slowly been falling in love with Paul Simon's music after going on a listening binge. His African-influenced stuff is my favorite, but really most of the songs I've heard of his are amazing.
10. Dixie Chicken - Little Feat
Hehe this is my Little Feat jam okay. I don't even really have a lot to say about it, I just really love Little Feat, this song especially. But a few others I enjoy besides the ones on this list are Skin it Back, Fat Man in the Bathtub and Oh Atlanta.
9. Up on Cripple Creek - The Band
So this was one of the first songs I heard from The Band. Again, this band was suggested to me by Duane, because he knows how much I love gorgeous piano playing.
8. Shine - Trey Anastasio
This is another happy, fun song that I heard from one of my jam band radio stations and loved. It's so poppy, but in a good Trey kinda way.
7. Dazzling Blue - Paul Simon
The first Paul Simon song (besides Cecelia which I learned for a show) that stuck out to me, Dazzling Blue is great. I particularly love the harmonies, they're so beautiful.
6. I Get Around - The Beach Boys
This was the first Beach Boys song I ever heard and at the time I wasn't even sure why I liked it (it was the harmonies, but I didn't know that).
Okay, so you're probably like, what kind of sixteen-year-old girl is into the Beach Boys? Duane and I were actually joking about that during one of my lessons. Yes hello my name is Libby, I'm sixteen and in love with angsty boy bands, jam bands and the Beach Boys.
5. Feats Don't Fail Me Now - Little Feat
Whoo, more Little Feat! Yes, going with the pattern, I came across this song on my Classic Jam Bands station and, being the sucker for badass blues piano that I am, was like "Whoa, I need to check these guys out." So I did. I was not disappointed.
4. The River Hymn - The Band
Wow.
WOW.
I do not have words.
The. Piano.
The. Harmonies.
This song makes me feel so peaceful, that's all I can say.
3. Either Way - Guster
Again, I really don't have words. I think I may have cried while listening to this song. That's how beautiful it is.
2. Pet Sounds (Album) - The Beach Boys
Yes. I am actually putting an entire record down for a favorite. But seriously, this album is completely breathtaking. These guys are masters of music. My favorite song from Pet Sounds is currently I'm Waiting For the Day, closely followed by Wouldn't it Be Nice. This album is excellent if you enjoy this kind of music, I would highly recommend it!
1. Center of Attention - Guster
This song is addicting. Like seriously, there's something about it that I instantly fell in love with. It was the second Guster song I listened to, and it's the kind of tune that makes me want to blast though headphones while I run/dance through the woods (not that I did that or anything... >.>) If you like happy, fun, catchy songs then you definitely should give it a listen!
So that is all, hope this gave you some ideas if you're ever feeling like you want to expand your playlist! I know it's not a huge variety this month, but I tried to make up for that by giving you 15 songs instead of my usual 10.
Rock on!
