I was sent a Facebook Note asking me to go into my music collection and choose one song for each letter of the alphabet. Here's what I quickly came up with:
And It Stoned Me -- Van Morrison
Brass in Pocket -- The Pretenders
Come Pick Me Up -- Ryan Adams
Don’t Forget About Me -- Dusty Springfield
Everything’s Coming Our Way -- Santana
Flume -- Bon Iver
Gone for Good -- The Shins
Helpless -- Neil Young
I Will Sing You Songs -- My Morning Jacket
Jesus, Etc. -- Wilco
Kokomo -- Bonnie Raitt
Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys -- Traffic
Maine Island Lovers -- Okkervil River
No Reply -- The Beatles
Over Time -- Lucinda Williams
Poison Cup -- M. Ward
Queen Jane Approximately -- Bob Dylan
Rita -- Los Lobos
Song for You (A) -- Whiskeytown
These Days -- Jackson Browne
Undun -- The Guess Who
Vox Humana -- Deerhunter
Whispering Pines -- The Band
X-Ray Eyes -- The Whore Moans
You’ve Got Your Troubles -- The Fortunes
Zombie -- The Cranberries
Except for X and Z (I think my collection had exactly two songs for each letter!), I can say that each of these is a song I love, and, again, except for X and Z, I could come up with another such list of songs I love again and again and again. And maybe I will. In the meantime, I think I'll make them into a playlist.
