A Song From My Favorite Record

With this I think I am going to use a few different albums (from different bands/artists) since I have already said a few of my favorites so far. So these few songs are my favorite songs off of my favorite album of the selected singers/bands...does that make sense?

Coldplay - X&Y - White Shadows. This was the first Colplay record I bought, and there isn't a single song on it I don't like...which is unusual for me...Even Versant's EP has one song I don't like! Anyway, this song's chorus is particularly intriguing to me for whatever reason, but I can't say I like is significantly more than any of their other songs (whether on this album or not)

Jewel - Goodbye Alice in Wonderland - Good Day. Of all her eight records, (9th on the way!) I have to say this is the one that beats the others in quality, sound, and material. Jewel is pretty prolific and her albums each differ greatly and have their ups and downs, but this one has a good mix of love songs, commentary songs, and story songs. She also sounds great, much like she does in This Way, but this record is overall better, I'd say. (0304 was an interesting album, and I like it more and more each time I listen to it, so this may change over time)

Avril Lavigne - Let Go - Things I'll Never Say. Her first album definitely outdoes the two that follow, (but I have a lot of hope for the March 2011 release) so it was more a matter of picking my favorite song off this album. This one was just so cleverly written and has a nice happy feeling to it... runner up was Tomorrow

Julia Nunes - I Wrote These - Sugar Coats and You Were (I can't choose!). Okay, time to pump up Julia Nunes a bit. She is arguably my favorite person in the world. Her personality shines in both her videos and on stage, which makes her music so so SO much better. Honestly, she is not the best vocalist or writer, but it's impossible for me not to smile when she's talking and telling stories. Her second album was produced by Pomplamoose, which is the force that drove it to be literally 10x better than her first. These songs often make it to every playlist and CD I make...
A few people I know can't stand her because she "sounds like a man" but I kind of like that, in a weird sense. It sets her apart from other artists and makes her unique. (I actually didn't think her voice was that weird at first, but a ton of other people do, so whatever)
