Here's One You Couldn't Possibly Have Seen Coming
This one goes out to Dana. Released in 1989, it comes at the tail end of the decade we celebrate and is a splendid example of the female singer/songwriter thing that was beginning to happen on a level not seen since the likes of Joni Mitchell, if you ask me. But you didn't. Anyway, it doesn't spring to mind as a classic 80s song but it sure is a classic. And just right for a Sunday afternoon.

Good Stuff.
I'll bet that didn't make VH1's list, though. That's what happens when you tag along at the end of a decade.
Too true.
I'm a huge fan of Indigo Girls; I sometimes wonder if I'm actually a lesbian in a gay man's body, and they're two of the biggest reasons why. I've seen them in concert six times and will go again the next time they play Wolf Trap. Excellent choice!!
Speaking of Joni Mitchell, what's with both James Taylor and Sarah McLachlan covering "River" for their '06 holiday albums?? Cool ... but I never really thought of "River" as a holiday song per se ... and two new versions at once. Hm.
Duh. "It's comin' on Christmas, they're cutting down trees".
Apparently, that's all it takes to make a song holiday album worthy.
(OK. It is my second favorite Joni Mitchell song ever ("A Case of You" is number 1) but really, not the first thing that springs to mind when I think "Christmas songs".)
My best friend and I performed this at our highschool assembly to rave reviews. She went on to be a lover of women. I went on to be...well, the vote is still out on that one I s'pose.
