Fellow non-native Coloradan here! Agree a lot of gems hidden as either non-single album tracks or B-sides. "Jamie" by Weezer is one of my favorite songs by them. "Yes It Is" by The Beatles is gorgeous but never seems to get much written about it.

I clicked over to your earlier Broadway article, fantastic and I agree with those three choices! It's rare to see people that know both show tunes and 90s/2000s alternative. Glad I started following The Riff so this story popped up for me 🙂
