I'd put Tim Heidecker's Slipping Away on there. As far as songs, I'd probably go with Bows and Arrows or Bells are Ringing

Father John Misty: Mahashmashana.. haven't listened to it enough to know which song is my fave, but maybe the title song or She Cleans Up

I hope Kim Deal's solo album is good enough to make the list, but have only listened to it in the background a couple times.

And Mint Tea, Scooter Blues and Jupiter's Faire are my favorite Johnny Blue Ski's songs
