Treble Charger - Funny

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

I can't say that I hate Enrique (although I've never much cared for most of his songs OR can I stand to hear "Hero" even one more time)

BUT...

I do have to say that "Addicted" is one kick ass song, and even resulted in me downloading his new album.

glassjaw - ape dos mil. (like above, there's something about it.)
nelly furtado - try, onde esta
jann arden - insensitive, good mother, waiting in canada
jump little children - close your eyes, cathedrals, say good night
moody blues - nights in white satin (with the orchestra. that version is amazing)

simon and garfunkel - sounds of silence
rem - everybody hurts
the tragically hip - wheat kings, scared
