A Modern Gal musical mission

Judging by the response to the previous post about music peaking in 1995, not everyone agrees with me on that point. I have clarified my position, at the recommendation of Mickey, as one that claims POPULAR music peaked in 1995.

The Modern Gal admits that one area she fails in is musical taste, something her friends can verify. The thing is, I prefer to be hit over the head with good music rather than have to work hard to find it. I yearn for the days of alternative rock radio, when all the fantastic music was just a radio dial turn away. Nowadays, I have to go searching through the internets and such to find the good stuff. Too much work.

I know, lazy, right? I maintain that I work extra-hard in other areas of my life, including trying to bring you the best MG bloggy content, to make up for my musical laziness.

Which brings me to you, modern friends. Your mission today, should you choose to accept, is to suggest ONE GOOD CURRENT SONG that will absolutely blow me away.

I know your first inclination is going to be to give me a laundry list of fantastic new artists and such, and that's not what I'm asking for. I'm asking for the CHANGE-YOUR-LIFE-IT'S-SO-GOOD kind of song. Just one. If you can't limit yourself to one, you're going to have to find a friend or significant other to suggest the other song. I am purposefully trying to be difficult because I want a cross-section of tastes here.

What I will do after I've gotten enough suggestions is download all the songs and burn me a new CD, which will go into the car CD player for me to digest for a week or two. I will then report back to you.

Some hints as to my musical tastes:
1. For songs I've liked in the past two years, please revisit this old post.
2. As evidenced by this and the previous post, I obviously miss alternative rock.
3. I like a VARIETY. For example. I LOVE 80s music, especially new wave. But I also love a little bit of hair band. And some 80s rock. And old-school 80s rap. And show tunes. I do not, however, like 80s country music.

P.S. CB, your post on music is duly noted, but please specify which song is your suggestion.
