Last, but not least! Day 30: A song that reminds you of yourself...? I really hate this prompt. I'll just pick one from one of my favorite artists that I really felt back when I was 17. https://t.co/zhL9pHq1Be

Day 29: A song you remember from your childhood. Oh! The memories of "School of Rock." https://t.co/u5tNEUFYa8

Day 28: A song by an artist whose voice you love. If you know me, you must've known Bob Dylan would come up. Here's a solo version of one of my favorites of his. https://t.co/c8NlwwlneN

Day 27: A song that breaks your heart. For sentimental reasons. https://t.co/Tgicep9Tr5

Keeping it on track! Day 26: A song that makes you want to fall in love 😏. I just listened to Ted Hawkins' debut album recently, and if anything expresses the euphoria of falling in love, it's this song. https://t.co/oh4PIsmnl4

Day 25: A song you like by an artist no longer living. David Berman brought us a ton of great music in his first project (Silver Jews) and it seemed like Purple Mountains was gonna be just as strong. It crushes me he's gone, but at least he left us this. https://t.co/hYm2qYBc9a

Day 24: A song by a band you wish were still together. Savatage will always be my favorite metal band for their mix of hard rockers and really emotional, touching ballads like this. I think they could still make a solid album today. https://t.co/eoT4ASzLl8

Day 23: A song you think everybody should listen to. John Prine was taken from us far too soon. I think everyone should be able to relate to at least some of his music, and he was one of the greatest songwriters ever. https://t.co/9syFVLE55F

Oops! Missed a few days. That's happened often enough that I suppose it's tradition now. Day 22: A song that moves you forward. This extremely boastful (to the point of irony) Chats song should do the trick. Best solo ever! https://t.co/t3lLGnZHJX

Now it's my (@beautyboyzzz) turn to round out our 30(ish) day song challenge!

Day 21: A song with a person's name in the title. I discovered this song with my roommate last year, and I think that its melancholy sound resonates even more this year. https://t.co/DjzCMzWtrx

Day 20: A song with multiple meanings. Does anyone really know the meaning behind a flaming lips song? 🧐https://t.co/esLfNhlaUU

[Soundcheck Official @SCheckOfficial]

Day 19: A song that makes you think about life. Post-rock music isn’t for everyone but if you want something soothing, ethereal and beautiful, don’t pass up this song. It’s the opener to a significant benchmark in music history.

Day 18: A song from the year you were born. The turn of the century was also a stylistic turn for this legendary band. Ideoteque is an icy trip through a dystopian future. If you haven’t listened to Kid A at least once, wtf are you doing?

Day 17: A song you’d sing a duet with someone. One of my favorite White Stripes songs. Literally just a song about Jack and Meg breaking into places and stealing stuff but the dialog between them is amazing and hilarious. 😂 https://t.co/m8awjpkieU

Day 16: A classic favorite. The intro to this song speaks for itself. Sonic Youth is one of those bands that everyone needs to know. https://t.co/kj7tX7ocmM

[Soundcheck Official @SCheckOfficial]

Day 15: Favorite cover song. Everyone has covered this one but the only version that interests me is with chaotic math rock tapping, weird piano fills and Tim Kinsella destroying his vocal chords. https://t.co/ImeM6DTPtn

Day 14: A song you want played at your wedding. Check out our Valentine’s Day episode for my in-depth interpretation of this classic!

Day 13: A song you like from the 70s. Kind of based now that Nick Drake has a cult following but no one can doubt the sheer genius on Pink Moon and throughout Drake’s discography. https://t.co/mBARM9Z7an

Day 12: A song from your preteen years. With half my family from Massachusetts I knew the Dropkick Murphys at and early age (and learned to appreciate the wonderful sound of bagpipes!) https://t.co/5EIH7GyCUJ
