<<< #65-61


#60. "That's My Story" - Collin Raye (1993)

A cute and catchy little country number about a man caught in a lie explaining his whereabouts one night to his wife. It wasn't a crossover hit, but it made Mecca Radio for a while in the early 20's...




#59. "Do You Love Me" - Guster (2010)

The Mecca CD's were full of a lot of acts my manager at the time really liked that I couldn't stand. Dave Matthews Band, Jack Johnson, and this trio from Boston. This much more upbeat song of theirs was a definite exception, and the only Guster song I really liked. Bells, it's hard for a song that can work bells into the chorus to be bad...




#58. "I Wanna Get Better" - Bleachers (2014)

The second and best Mecca CD song from the Jack Antonoff side project to be featured in this countdown. This is a great upbeat song you can actually scream along with while sitting in the bleachers...




#57. "David Duchovny" - Bree Sharp (1999)

You're sure to draw some attention to yourself when the debut single from your debut album is basically a fan letter to one of the hottest celebrities of the time. Sharp's ode to The X Files star was even noticed by the show's producers who made a music video for it. This was one of the very eclectic selections that could be heard on Mecca Radio often in the mid 2000's and always seemed to get played while I was in the backroom at the bins for the household chemicals department I stocked at the time..




#56. "Come Together" - Sons of the Sea (2013)

Sons of the Sea was a side project of Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd. This is actually a pretty cool song, and yet another piece of indie gold I would have never known existed had it not been for the 2013-15 CD era../
