Fugazzi Grand (380-361)

380. "Crazy" (Gnarls Barkley, St Elsewhere, 2006)
This song pretty much owned the year 2006.

379. "Keep the Car Running" (Arcade Fire, Neon Bible, 2007)
Foo Fighters also have a great cover version of this song. Go and get the new LP, too. Thanks, Greg!

378. "Killing Me Softly" (The Fugees, The Score, 1996)
I really could have gone with the original or this one, both very good.

377. "Believe in Life" (Eric Clapton, Reptile, 2001)
This album has like 3 or 4 really good songs, not into the rest of it, but this I love.

376. "This Night" (Billy Joel, An Innocent Man, 1983)
"tomorrow.....is such a long time away. This night.......can last forever."

375. "The Great Beyond" (R.E.M., In Time, 1999)
From the "Man on the Moon" soundtrack, one of their best songs of the last 15 years.

374. "Cannonball" (The Breeders, Last Splash, 1993)
"That's ok for him, but I'm still alone." Old reference from "The State".

373. "Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard" (Paul Simon, 1972)
Have you seen the video with Mickey Mantle?

372. "Jenny Wren" (Paul McCartney, Chaos and Creation in the Backyard, 2005)
My favorite McCartney solo album. Can't wait for these reissues to come out.

371. "At This Moment" (Billy Vera & the Beaters, 1982)
Yeah, that one song from that one episode of that one show with that one guy from Midnight Madness and Teen Wolf.

370. "The Beauty of Who You Are" (Marc Broussard, Carencro, 2004)
This is unofficially our song (Amber and I).

369. "I Will Possess Your Heart" (Death Cab For Cutie, Narrow Stairs, 2008)
Competent mo-fos, never disappointing.

368. "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" (Nicks & Petty, Bella Donna, 1983)
I like this song better than any Fleetwood Mac song.

367. "Jump" (Van Halen, 1984, 1984)
It's ironic that the most recognizable Van Halen song features a synthesizer.

366. "Shattered" (The Rolling Stones, Some Girls, 1978)
Definitely need to pick this album up.

365. "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" (Cake, Comfort Eagle, 2001)
At some point for me, all the Cake songs started to sound alike, but this song, and a few others stand out.

364. "Like I Love You" (Justin Timberlake, Justified, 2002)
No denying that this is a hot track. I'm not sure what Justin Timberlake is anymore. Musician? Actor? Either way, a great SNL host.

363. "Baba O'Riley" (The Who, Ultimate Collection, 1971)
Affectionately known as "Teenage Wasteland" by Lisa Elskamp.

362. "(Don't Go Back To) Rockville" (R.E.M. , Reckoning, 1984)
I don't mean to curse, but such a fucking good album.

361. "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" (Neutral Milk Hotel, 1998)
Title track for one of the best albums of all time. Jeff Mangum, please come out play for a bit....
