Alt Rock Classics
- Lovefool-The Cardigans (If you listened to WVRV when this was a hit, you probably heard it a lot. Nina Persson's quirky vocals and the tune's memorable chorus plant themselves firmly in the listener's mind and don't leave easily.)
- We Draw Lines-Blinker The Star (Good guitar-heavy rock with lyrics and structure that build on themselves and keep the listener hooked.)
- I'm A Fool To Care-Les Paul & Mary Ford (Ford's vocals and Paul's guitar mesh well in this musical lament I wish I'd played on WEW.)
- Bing, Bing, Bing!-Charlie Hunter Trio (The saxophone, guitar, and drums produce a midtempo groove with instant atmosphere that would be at home on a traditional or smooth jazz playlist.)
- Gaslight-Duke Pearson (A sly stroll of a melody; Pearson grounds the tune on piano. With heavy hitters, such as trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, saxophonist Joe Henderson, and bassist Ron Carter on board, it's no surprise that the track is such a winner.)
- Nocturne 2-Boreal Owl-Ken Johnson (Ideal piano accompaniment for owl-watching.)
- Ode To Benny B.-Earl Van Dyke (The lead and rhythm instruments, especially the harmonica, coalesce to produce a great uptempo instrumental that ranks with the best Stevie Wonder backing tracks.)
- Eta Amor-Pericles featuring Xande (An ideal tune for an outdoor concert; its upbeat vocals, flute, and percussion could easily prime an audience for an enjoyable evening.)
