Just listened to the “Music Party #19’s” playlist. Starts with “Synchronicity II” by The Police and features some big songs like “I Will Always Love You”, “One Sweet Day”, and “Hey Ya”.
But my 2 favorites are from back-to-back years 2001 and 2002. In 2001 “Rockin’ The Suburbs” by Ben Folds is a tongue-in-cheek parody of angsty young rock artists “y’all don’t know what it’s like, being male, middle-class and white”. And the album is one of my all-time favorites. In 2002 it was Raul Malo’s Spanish-influenced “I Said I Love You” which clicked with our inner circle. From another superior album, “Today”.
