- The Beginning Of Loneliness-Dionne Warwick (Warwick's voice soars on this track that's lyrically similar to The 5th Dimension's "One Less Bell To Answer" and "(Last Night) I Didn't Get To Sleep At All.")
- Dawning Is The Day-The Moody Blues (An overlooked album track that incorporates the flute appealingly. "Listen, we think we have found you," is a very 1970 prog rock wake-up call.)
- Turn Back The Hands Of Time-Tyrone Davis (A good oldie with universal lyrics about regrets.)
- The Moon Is Low-Betty Carter (Elegant vocals in a deceptively short song.)
- Estate-Willie Akins (An impressive jazz/bossa nova blend in this 2000 track from the St. Louis saxophonist.)
- Standing Still-Jewel (The hit song of hers that holds up best, to my ears. There's an energy here that differs from her other hits. Incidentally, this is the same review I would write of Alanis Morissette's "Hands Clean.")
- Brighter Than The Sun-Colbie Caillat (If you're going to use songs from recent years, in addition to standard patriotic fare, during fireworks displays, this is a good choice.)
- Barely Breathing-Duncan Sheik (His 1996 debut hit; one of the best songs from that year, along with Eleanor McEvoy's "Precious Little." Both songs received considerable, deserved airplay on WVRV that year.)
- Don't Dream It's Over-Crowded House (Still one of the best opening guitar licks; as good as this hit is, there's so much more to this band, especially on its treasure trove of great harmonies and lyrics, the "Woodface" album.)
- December, 1963 (Oh, What A Night)-The Four Seasons (This '70s comeback hit stands up to repeated listening far better than the group's falsetto-led '60s hits, in my opinion.)
