A quick look at the playlist I've started for May in my Rhapsody account:

"Better" - Regina Spektor

"Everyday is a Holiday (With You) - Esthero

"Penny on a Train Track" - Ben Kweller

"Like a Star" - Corinne Bailey Rae

"Vultures" - John Mayer

"Captain for Dark Mornings" - Laura Nyro

"When the Stars Go Blue" - Ryan Adams

"Ae Ae" - Angelique Kidjo

"Empty Hearted Town" - Warren Zevon

"Steady Rain" - Warren Zevon

So far, I've put together one of my better playlists. The latter two tracks are off a previously unreleased CD full of rare finds from one of the great songwriters of my lifetime. Warren Zevon truly is an IQ test in great songwriting.

Now, that Laura Nyro track is a classic also, off her "New York Tendaberry" CD. If you don't know who Laura Nyro is, she was Carole King before Carole King. She was also the brain behind some of the Fifth Dimension's best songs including the classic, "Wedding Bell Blues."

They're both dead.

Didn't mean to get your Monday started off on a down note. I just realized that Laura and Warren had a little something in common right about now.

If you have a tune I absolutely must add to this list, post it in my comments, and I'll give it a listen.
