excellent starter jams for those of you not familiar with mr. adams-

1. Come Pick Me Up from his first solo album Heartbreaker.
Live version for Letterman.


2. New York, New York from Gold. they played this a lot on mtv after 9/11. probably the most pop song he sings but still excellent.

4. When the Stars Go Blue- from Gold. beautiful song! it was covered by tim mcgraw and the corrs with bono but of course this is the best version! he wrote it so it should be.




5. Wonderwall- from Love is Hell. a cover of the Oasis song and brilliant! it was one of the few songs i got to hear live.



my video from the atlanta concert- it's not really the best example since: a)the man had pneumonia and was trying to sing, b) you can hear me talking to mia and singing along (not pretty) but in spite of ALL of that he actually sounds pretty good.

hope you love at least one of these (all of them!) and make some space for them in your ipod :)

BONUS! and maybe one of my most favorites- ever- Goodnight Hollywood Blvd- from Gold. this is from a concert series Yahoo did.
