We Just Disagree – Dave Mason, 70s rock
Hello, It’s Me – Todd Rundgren, 70s rock
Ventura Highway - America, 70s rock
My Everchanging Moods – The Style Council, 80s Brit pop
Love Song for a Vampire – Annie Lennox, 90s alternative
Evolution – Korn, 00s nu metal
Prayer – Disturbed, 00s nu metal
Counterblow – Ayria, 00s future synthpop
The Parting (acoustic/symphonic version) – Katatonia, current dark metal
Temple of Thought (acoustic version) – Poets of the Fall, current rock

Honorable mentions:

Shout It Out Loud – Kiss, 70s rock
Come to Me – France Joli, 70s disco
Far Away – Nickelback, 00s rock (don’t hate, it’s a beautiful song)
Dig – Incubus, 00s rock
Dead Is the New Alive – Emilie Autumn, 00s Victorian

Currently in heavy rotation:

I’m Not Trading – Sunna, 00s alternative metal
Satellite – Nine Inch Nails, current industrial
Many Thanks – Dope Stars Inc., current alternative industrial rock
The Angry River – The Hat, current Southern gothic
The entire Poets of the Fall discography

Not much 90s music here. It's not that I don't like any of it. It's just not my favorite stuff. I never really got into grunge, and while 90s were the last time there was any decent R & B in my opinion, it's not in my top preferences. I can't possibly narrow 80s music down because I love so much of it, as it's the soundtrack of my teens and coming of age.
