- Unsound-Bettie Serveert ("Ray Ray Rain" is Bettie Serveert's most infectious tune, in my opinion, but "Unsound"'s ideal-for-driving rhythm segues well with it.)
- Dream All Day-The Posies (One of many well-produced tracks from a strong album, "Frosting On The Beater." Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow are adept at crafting sing-along hooks that jump out of the speakers against a backdrop of jangly guitars. Other highlights from the album: "Twenty Questions," "Flavor Of The Month," and "Solar Sister.")
- Through It All-Al Jarreau (Singing this type of ballad is as natural as eating and drinking for Jarreau. Also recommended from the "Tomorrow Today" album: "Just To Be Loved.")
- Devotion (Live)-Earth, Wind & Fire (The audience is clearly on the band's side; that makes perfect sense, considering how soaring the vocals are in concert and how uplifting "Devotion"'s lyrics are.)
- Off The Wall-Michael Jackson (Taking nothing away from "Thriller," I contend that the best tracks from Jackson's "Off The Wall" album, including the title track, hold up as well or better than "Thriller"'s strongest tunes.)
