"kiss that girl from your photography class." Uh oh. Someone's been in the dark room for too long. Any hoo. Good question. Three songs come to mind. They make me pretty happy: Elbow - Mexican Standoff. No song in the last twenty years has made me wish I had a guitar in my hand more than this one. Every. Single. Time.
Spoon - Trouble Come Running. Nice slap in the face opening with an almost casual groove in the middle.
Smashing Pumpkins - Plume. The solo at 1:05 is from Mars and is the epitome of their tonal exceptionalism.
