The Songs
"Body Movin'" - Beastie Boys (Hello Nasty, 1998)
A tight, funky rap-rock cut with a bass-heavy groove and playful energy.
"We Care a Lot" - Faith No More (Introduce Yourself, 1900)
A driving punk-funk anthem built around a blunt, communal chorus.
"Jenny Says" - Cowboy Mouth (Word of Mouth, 1995)
A big, shout-along rock song that leans on an infectious hook and bar-band momentum.
"Operation Spirit (The Tyranny Of Tradition)" - Live (Mental Jewelry, 1991)
A thoughtful early-90s alt-rock track with a strong chorus and an urgent feel.
"I Melt with You" - Modern English (After the Snow, 1982)
One of the best-known new wave singles, with a glossy synth sound and a dreamy edge.
"All The Things She Said" - t.A.T.u. (200 KM/H In The Wrong Lane (10th Anniversary Edition), 2002)
A late-2000s pop hit that mixes dance-pop sheen with a moody, hooky chorus.
"Voices Carry (Single Mix)" - 'Til Tuesday (Voices Carry (Expanded Edition), 1985)
A polished mid-80s breakup song with a restrained arrangement and a memorable vocal turn.
"Let's Stay Together" - Al Green (Let's Stay Together, 1971)
A classic soul ballad known for its warm groove and easy confidence.
"Don't Know Why" - Norah Jones (Come Away with Me (Remastered), 2002)
A sparse, piano-led pop song that helped define a quieter, more intimate style of mainstream radio.
"Virtual Insanity" - Jamiroquai (Travelling Without Moving (20th Anniversary Edition) [2016 Remaster], 1996)
A sleek dance-rock track driven by a slinky bassline and an unmistakable groove.
"Kitty" - The Presidents of the United States of America (The Presidents of the United States of America: Ten Year Super Bonus Special Anniversary Edition, 1995)
A quick, goofy alternative rock song that keeps things light and noisy.
"War On Culture" - Carbon/Silicon (The Last Post, 2007)
A sharp, political punk-leaning track with a restless, confrontational edge.
