In trying to answer this question, I am reminded how ashamed I am that most of my music is still locked up on CDs in the iPod Age. Guess I need somethig physical to hold onto.
...Right, back on topic. "Paper Wings" by Rise Against, "Sweetness" from Jimmy Eat World, and "Everlong" by the Foo Fighters all got me through high school and parts of college, but the one song that really comforts me, lets me know all will be right in the world as long as there's a radio station with this in its constant rotation.
Now, if only the video held up to the test of time.
