Coldplay

Coldplay is a rock band from England.  This song is very special to me.  This song just came out right about the time I was about ready to give birth to my first son, Zach.  Once he was born, I would dance around the living room with him in my arms, listening to this song and the rest of the debut album.  Everytime I hear this song, I instantly remember dancing around my living room with my newborn son.  This song will always be precious to me.  You are a lucky lady Gwyneth.

Buffalo Tom

Buffalo Tom was an Alternative rock band out of Boston, MA, formed in 1986.  This band deeply affected me in the 90's. They have such great lyrics.  I think this band was way under-rated.  They were amazing.  I remember them on My So Called Life.  I was so excited they were on.  I know that ages me.  Jared Leto played Jordan Catalano.  Who didn't love the bad boy.  I so wished I was Claire Danes.
