Hard to categorize this when I've a mix that runs from Christian artists like Derek Webb to the band Queen in this collection. But, these are all songs that have had an impact on me and for the most part are fun to sing, sometimes somewhat deep with interesting lyrics and have a nice and rolling tune.
John Mayer, Derek Webb, Queen, Snow Patrol, Don McLean, Stephen Bishop, Fray, Caedmon's Call, Edwin McCain, Rich Mullins, Death Cab For Cutie, K. Relient, Daniel Powter...
I play all of these on my acoustic. I think it is a fair mix of styles and artists from the 20th century. Mostly 90's so cal punk with some of the greatest melodic tunes from surrounding decades
Sublime, Bad Religion, Traditional, Jawbreaker, Lagwagon, Nofx, Beatles, Ween, Tenacious D, Joey Cape, Buddy Holly, Billy Joel, Bad Astronaut, Violent Femmes...

MANS A MAN AND ALL THATA man's a man for a' that Is there for honest poverty That hings his head, an' a' that? The coward slave, we pass him by - We dare be poor for a' that! For a' that, an' a' that! Our toils obscure, an' a' that, The rank is but the guinea's stamp, The man's the gowd for a' that. What though on hamely fare we dine, Wear hoddin grey an' a' that? Gie fools their silks, and knaves their wine A man's a man for a' that. For a' that, an' a' that, Their tinsel show, an' a' that, The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor, Is king o' men for a' that. Ye see yon birkie ca'd 'a lord', Wha struts, an' stares, an' a' that? Tho' hundreds worship at his word, He's but a cuif for a' that, For a' that, an' a' that, His ribband, star, an' a' that, The man o' independent mind, He looks an' laughs at a' that. A prince can mak a belted knight, A marquis, duke, an' a' that! But an honest man's aboon his might - Guid faith, he mauna fa' that! For a' that, an' a' that, Their dignities, an' a' that, The pith o' sense an' pride o' worth Are higher rank than a' that. Then let us pray that come it may (As come it will for a' that) That Sense and Worth o'er a' the earth, Shall bear the gree an' a' that, For a' that, an' a' that, It's comin yet for a' that, That man to man the world oe'r Shall brithers be for a' that.
