These songs are all on a playlist I created a few months ago after a conversation with Some Dude on a thread I don't remember. The compilation was begun out of simple nostalgia for this era -- when I started listening to pop radio for the first time in several years -- but I realize now I straight-up love this shit. The key: each of these songs is anchored by clean jazzy-sounding guitar, some in a smooth electric vein and others in a nylon-acoustic almost-Spanish style.
For the sake of the poll, I took out "Slow Jamz" -- for one, because I thought it would run away with the win, but also because the guitar on it isn't nearly as prominent as it is on the rest of these. But feel free to add any others I may have missed!
