OK, here's the challenge. Name 1 or 2 songs in each of the below categories. Preferably (and for extra points), make them songs which are unfamiliar to most people. In other words, not heard on the radio but darn well worth the $1.29 to download:
"Hauntingly beautiful"-
Alan's entry- Spell by Marie Digby; December by Norah Jones
"Great melody line"-
Alan's entry- Red Light by Jonny Lang
"Tells a memorable story"-
Alan's entry- I'm Not That Girl by Idena Menzel- from the Wicked soundtrack
"Makes you want to dance"-
Alan's entry- Catchafire (Whoopsi-Daisy) by tobyMac
What are your personal, obscure favorites?

"Hauntingly beautiful" -
Ain't No Grave - by Crooked Still
"Best Bass Solo" -
Bring on the Night - by the Police
(I didn't have a melody one)
"Best 70's Lady Lead Singer" -
Baby Love - by Mother's Finest

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - by Gordon Lightfoot
(that's Chris' vote...it's a real "downer" of a song, but for some reason he loves the story of sailors meeting their fate in a watery grave).
"Makes you want to dance" (like Elaine on Seinfeld) -
I Turn My Camera On - by Spoon
