Feeling out of place? These are your songs.

Three of the best songs, in my opinion, for when you feel out of place or out of step:

• Alien-Atlanta Rhythm Section ("Now and then, we all are aliens," the band sings in its tale of someone who feels like he doesn't belong.  This was a minor hit for the band, but it deserves more airplay.)
• Englishman In New York-Sting (One of the best songs about staying true to yourself, even when it puzzles those around you.)
• Throwback-Tony Banks (As I wrote previously, this should have been a huge hit for the Genesis songwriter/keyboardist.  It sounds like a ready-made theme for a TV show about time travel gone wrong.)

Tomorrow, I'll spotlight a song, in a different context, that could also qualify for this list.
