Harry was my favorite contemporary jazz pianist until I heard Jamie's cover of the Pharrell and Jay-Z track. And "Twentysomething" is required for every liberal arts educated twentysomething. <br /><br />"Echo" by Incubus: I admit it. I love Incubus. Their music is incredibly haunting and this particular piece never gets old. I feel that "Echo" is stunning every time. <br /><br />"Ridiculous" by Musiq Soulchild: seriously beautiful neo-soul. He's such a genius and this is his best work.<br /><br />"Are You Feelin Me?" by Aaliyah: Off the Romeo Must Die soundtrack, which was a huge phenomenon in and of itself. This track is so classic.<br /><br />"If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys: to understand the impact of this song, I can only offer this antidote- when I worked as a waitress, the daughter of one of my coworkers was helping us roll silverware at the end of the night. She was probably in elementary school, had little barrettes in her hair, and started singing this song to me.<br /><br />"Lag Time" by Ani DiFranco: I do tend to prefer her earlier work (specifically Dilate), but I absolutely love this song, thanks to WPS.
