The Zombies -- Care of Cell '44
I love the Zombies.  Apparently Odyssey & Oracle (the album this song is on) was ranked #80 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Ed  Rogers at East Village Radio (check out Atlantic Tunnel -- his show on EVR. It's excellent & they have lots of incredibly interesting guests o it all the time.) was telling me how he had something to do with setting up Colin Blunstone's somewhat recent US tour.  I forget the story but he & the other guy that hosts the show Gaz are really well-connected & cool.

Stereo Total -- Moviestar
One of my absolute favorite bands.  I know they're totally ridiculous & not the greatest singers or musicians, but they've got such an irresistible charm.  Whenever I see them live, I jump up & down like a complete dork because I. do. not. care.

Electric Light Orchestra -- Telephone Line
Another of my favorites -- ELO is awesome & Jeff Lynne rocks the vocoder!  According to Wikipedia, this is how ELO came up with their name:

"The group's name is an intended pun based not only on electric light (as in a light bulb as seen on early album covers) but also using "electric" rock instruments combined with a "light orchestra" (orchestras with only a few cellos and violins that were popular in Britain during the 1960s)." 

I read that 3 times & I still have no idea wtf it says.  durrr.

Madeleine Peyroux -- Between the Bars
I think this cover of Elliott Smith's "Between the Bars" is beautiful.  Since she sounds so much like Billie Holliday, it's like Billie singing some indie pop. Which is weird but it works.
