The hardest thing about this pick is figuring out which of 10 songs from The Frames meant the most to me. This one was part of their live repertoire for many years before it made it onto an album, and it appeared again on the live album - so I'll take the latter. Because in reality, it's the concert experiences more than any actual album that changed me fundamentally.
16.19 Song from an album that influenced your musical taste - What Happens When the Heart Just Stops from Set List - The Frames
I suppose the natural selection here would be a nostalgic one from your youth, but this album hit me in my post-divorce late-30s like a ton of bricks, in a way that no music had in almost 20 years.
I first saw them at a free River to River show around Spring 2000. I was at happy hour with some i-banker friends, and a motley crew of 20-somethings gathered in front of an empty stage an hour before the show. By the end of the night we were in the middle of them, completely captivated by Glen Hansard's humble story telling and Colm Mac Con Lomarie's magical electric violin. In the next six years I saw The Frames perform more than 20 times, and since have watched Glen perform as a solo act or with The Swell Season another half dozen times. They're equaling comfortable in front of a crowd of 600 at the Mercury Lounge or 60,000 in Grant Park.
There is a collective shared experience to watching The Frames that is unrivaled in my life experience.
PITCHFORK REVIEW
The tragic flaw of the live record is that it almost always offers an entirely compromised version of the genuine experience-- a watery, dull, one-dimensional representation of something that should ideally be transcendent. The Frames are stellar songsmiths, and Set List certainly proves that they're equally capable live performers, but by far the most interesting aspect of this record is the foot-stomping fervor of their perpetually singing-along crowd. Anyone nauseated by the prophetical leanings of Dashboard Confessional shows (check small clumps of skinny kids mouthing every lyric in earnest, whimpering along with their hands clenched into euphoric fists), or freaked out by the beer-soaked "Bruce!" bellows that send quivers through Giants Stadium whenever Springsteen plays, might be equally shocked by the enthusiasm of The Frames' adoring fans, who seem to be perpetually trembling with excitement. Somehow, The Frames have managed to capture the sweaty, breathless communion of the live show in some oddly convincing ways.
That's about right. The crowd is perpetually singing along with every chorus, and the atmosphere can best be described as unapologetically sweet. Not in a sentimental saccharine way, but an unrestrained burst of bliss. The musicianship is superb, and Glen is the anti-rockstar; it's never been about fame or money but just playing the gig. He is probably the least pretentious performer I have ever followed this closely. You always get the sense he feels really fortunate to be doing what he loved, and the crowd returns that with their own gratitude to be sharing the experience with them.
I've drifted away from them in recent years as I've gotten more into roots, folk and bluegrass, but I never would have made that transition without first going through this evolution.

So what happens when the heart just stops
Stops caring for anyone
The hollow in your chest dries up
And you stop believing
So what happens when the heart gives up
But the body goes on living
The blood crawls to a slow and stops
And flows away
Well we got no-one to meet
No love we would beseech
We only have ourselves to blame for everything
The was no answer in the dust
And I'm missing you so much
And now you're sleeping
And I'm leaving
Empty-handed waiting
Time it will subside and we'll agree
It was a given
Well there was no standard we could set
And the world it does regret
To have to leave you in this state of bereavement
You see I'm feeling everything
Nothing gets by
There is a hollow in my chest
The time I won't forget
There is no comfort in the eyes
They put us always to the test
I can't prepare myself for that
But I work it out in time
There is a love that flows between us
Ever-changing everyday
I worked myself up to a crawl
But I'm not fearing it at all
We have no reason left to stay
And that's why we're leaving
And there was no answer in the dust
And the one I feared to trust
There is a lie that drags us
Beating and pulling into disappointment
I'm disappointed
I'm disappointed
I'm disappointed
It's so late, till you're gone
Stops caring for anyone
The hollow in your chest dries up
And you stop believing
So what happens when the heart gives up
But the body goes on living
The blood crawls to a slow and stops
And flows away
Well we got no-one to meet

15.xx Cherry - Lisa Shaw (Chillbumps)
I get chills every time I hear this one. Her voice is incredible. This is also one of my favorite drum tracks ever. The whole thing is sublime.
This was one of those categories that really should have been its own draft. So now I'm going to indulge in spotlighting my very close runners up in this category that I doubt will get mentioned by others in the draft. Don't open the spoiler if you're not into spotlighting.

I Can't Get No Sleep - Masters At Work, featuring India. Original edit (long). -- I went back and forth between this one and Cherry for my final pick. India is an actual diva. Such a voice. Vocalist induced orgasm good. Check out some of her other stuff. Towards the end of the original edit she'll tell you she's going to lick you like a lollipop == chills. Probably my favorite dtf song ever. Why not this one instead of Cherry? I think maybe just a little too 90's club for me, but it was mostly a coin flip.
Soul Cages - Sting. Apart from being a fantastic song with tons of brooding menace, the final bridge about the boy's dream to save his dying father brings tears to my eyes just about every time I hear it.
King Of Pain (Live 1993) - Sting. I know you think you've heard this one before. If nothing else, do me the solid of skipping to the middle (about 2:55) for the instrumental section where Dominic Miller lays down one of the best guitar solos I've ever heard - it also gives me chills every time I hear it.
The First Song - Band Of Horses. Somewhat plodding, it still gives me chills, particularly the last few lines of the lyrics. Otis approved.
Seven Deadly Sins - Bryan Ferry. The whole thing is so beautifully haunting, so rich, so exact, from the open gregorian style warbling to the final acoustic piano accent keystrokes. Even the drum machine tracks almost sound organic. Chills from start to finish.
If you've made it this far, thanks for indulging.

Guess I have the opportunity to switch categories here: "Although never released as a single, it is still today one of Alice in Chains' best-known songs. The song is notable for its emotional acoustic instrumentation and its electric guitar solo, as well as its dark lyrics dealing with loneliness, despair, and death. It is considered a staple of 1990's alternative rock despite not hitting a single U.S. Billboard chart or any charts around the world." Jar of Flies was #1 briefly. All of this surprises me, but it seems too ubiquitous to be a deep track.
I sometimes feel haunted by Layne and a dozen other musicians taken too soon by heroin. Confession: I even have a project dedicated to them. The topic is deeply personal.
No genre approaches the loss and desperation as honestly and emotionally as grunge. No grunge musician exposed himself more honestly and tragically than Layne. The final line in this song gave me goosebumps in the mid 90s while Layne was alive. Even moreso now that he isn't.

I'm tossing Jimmy Buffett back, so you guys can fight over him. I'm going with Phil Collins who I know you would never fight over. I need more gayfolk and heteroprog. I wrote a little earlier about Animals the album. At the same time I was completely engrossed by a trio of 70s prog albums by Genesis. Oddly, losing Gabriel was a good thing for one album -- A Trick of the Tail. This was my idea of great road music when I first started hitting the road alone... with a couple cold beers in the center console and a roach in the ashtray, driving through some backwoods with only gospel or country on the radio. The art on my 8-track was completely worn off. It was a finalist for most influential album, seriously. Collins mainstream sell out gets too much criticism and by proxy Genesis gets too little praise.

I'm also tossing the English Beat back. Ska isn't working with this mix. I added some prog by deducting some silliness. I'm adding some indie-folk that reminds me of America. I was sure I would go with Apoclyptica or Opeth in this category, but they've been used and hopefully you've all tuned in to how talented they are.

Nothing like a song about a serial killer that doesn't mention possums at all - I'll pick again if this doesn't fit "Animal" category?

17.XX International Feel - Todd Rundgren (A Wizard A True Star album)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1A5WBf1EFQ
An unapologetic second pick of Todd on my list. This album moved me from pop-centric and simpler guitar rock into a much larger world of music. "Wait another year, Utopia is here - cause there's always more." This song is the opening of that album. I was spending the night at a friends house on Wright Patterson AFB, his dad was a full colonel and their house was a 3 story beautiful brick house built in the '30, lots of woodwork and his bedroom took up the better part of the 3rd floor. Stoned, drinking beer, blacklights on - and this opening comes on. Will never forget it.
Entire album:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9DVcBZto4E
Allmusic album review
Something/Anything? proved that Todd Rundgren could write a pop classic as gracefully as any of his peers, but buried beneath the surface were signs that he would never be satisfied as merely a pop singer/songwriter. A close listen to the album reveals the eccentricities and restless spirit that surges to the forefront on its follow-up, A Wizard, a True Star. Anyone expecting the third record of Something/Anything?, filled with variations on "I Saw the Light" and "Hello It's Me," will be shocked by A Wizard. As much a mind-##### as an album, A Wizard, a True Star rarely breaks down to full-fledged songs, especially on the first side, where songs and melodies float in and out of a hazy post-psychedelic mist. Stylistically, there may not be much new -- he touched on so many different bases onSomething/Anything? that it's hard to expand to new territory -- but it's all synthesized and assembled in fresh, strange ways. Often, it's a jarring, disturbing listen, especially since Rundgren's humor has turned bizarre and insular. It truly takes a concerted effort on the part of the listener to unravel the record, since Rundgren makes no concessions -- not only does the soul medley jerk in unpredictable ways, but the anthemic closer, "Just One Victory," is layered with so many overdubs that it's hard to hear its moving melody unless you pay attention. And that's the key to understanding A Wizard, a True Star -- it's one of those rare rock albums that demands full attention and, depending on your own vantage, it may even reward such close listening.

There were several songs that I wanted to use for the 80s soundtrack category, and I narrowed it down to one from my favorite honky tonk movie. In this scene, Bud moves his hips to the the song while he and Sissy go to sit down in a booth with a couple friends in the diner part of Gilleys. Wes Hightower tips his hat at Sissy, and Bud does not take too kindly to that. Bud calls him Tattoo, and grabs Sissy hand showing Wes her wedding ring, and then Wes tips his hat again with his middle finger at Bud. Bud then gets mad that he received an undercooked hamburger, and throws it towards the diner counter, and it hits Wes in the back of the head. They go outside, and a fist fight ensues. Redneck heaven.
17.xx - All Night Long - Joe Walsh (80s Soundtrack - Urban Cowboy)
I'm also tossing out my beatlesque song "Somebody made for me" by Emitt Rhodes for "If You Want My Love" by Cheap Trick in that category. The first song sounds the most like the Beatles throughout the whole song, but I like the CT song better.

Well, maybe Lou Reed & co were religious...somehow I doubt it though (unless heroin is considered a deity.) Gorgeous song.

If you haven't heard this guy, take a listen. He's a great songwriter, and original.

16.xx - The Vaselines - Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam (Religious song/Non-Religious Artist)
17.xx - The Kills - #### The People (Female Blues 2003-2014)
Might need a Blues confirmation here.
18.xx - Truckfighters - Valium (Scandinavia)
Real deep category. Decided to go with some excellent desert rock by some crazy Swedes who have never been to the desert.

My daughter will be crushed.
Another share here that doesn't quite fit any of our remaining categories. Another group I have seen 10 or more times, though many of those were Zach Williams as an unsigned solo artist. He's the principle songwriter but just one-third of the vocal wall of sound; guitarist Brian Elmquest and Kanene Pipkin on mandolin form the remainder of the harmony. Out of Park Slope by way of the deep south, they self-identify as Brooklyn Country. They appeared on Conan and other late night shows in early 2013, had a spirited set at Newport this year, and have touring pretty much non-stop for the last year.

For the category of song off an album that influenced my musical taste, it's a song from the album Tapestry by Carole King. The album came out in 1971, and my mother played it constantly. I loved what I heard, and I've loved singer-songwriters since then. To this day, Tapestry is still in my top 5 of favorite albums ever.
