Did you read my two favorites? Indie and Grunge. Makes you cry? I don’t think so. And I love Tom Petty.

I am haunted by the guitar playing and emotional lyrics of "You and your friend" Mark Knopfler. (Dire Straits)
I can't get enough of hearing it over and over.

From the songs we are listing I think I can make a good guess on the ages posting here. I "think" i am on the younger side... for now.

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack is one of my favorites. Excellent use of it was many years ago, a NYC news station played it behind videos of all the new mothers holding their newborns on January 1st. Made me cry.

Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is another of my favorites. He did it so well.
