  1. Dimitri from Paris, “This Is Your Life”
  2. The Cure, “Pictures of You”
  3. Paul McCandless, “O Come O Come Emmanuel”
  4. The Cure, “Just Like Heaven”
  5. Bread, “If”*
  6. The Left Banke, “Myrah”
  7. Beverly Bremers, “Don’t Say You Don’t Remember”
  8. Tower of Power, “You’re Still A Young Man”
  9. Can, “Father Cannot Yell”
  10. Beastie Boys, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego”**
  11. Style Council, “The Whole Point of No Return”
  12. ABBA, “Chiquitita”
  13. 101 Strings. “Re-Entry to Mog”

  15. Jackson Browne, “Lawyers In Love”
  16. Three Dog Night, “Try A Little Tenderness”***
  17. The Suburbs, “Monster Man”
  18. Human League, “Human”
  19. Neil Young, “Only Love Can Break Your Heart”
  20. Frank Zappa, “Mr. Green Genes”
  21. Blondie, “Maria”
  22. Chicago, “Elegy: Once Upon A Time”
  23. Paul Williams, “Roan Pony”
  24. Lambchop, “The Producer”
  25. Marvin Gaye, “Too Busy Thinking About My Baby”
  26. Talk Talk, “Happiness Is Easy”
  27. Air, “You Make It Easy”
  28. The Wind In The Willows, “Djini Judy”****

*: Shut up. I love that song.
**: The effect of hearing this right after a Can song is every bit as brain-melting as you might think.
***: I’m sure I’m the only person who prefers this version to Otis Redding’s. No disrespect to Otis, but the drumming on 3DN’s version makes the difference.
****: This group features a really young Debbie Harry on vocals.
