They represent stages in relationships: happy, complaining, obsessing, gone but missing, and finally alone. And the middle three are linked by artist or title.

10 a.m. Shawn Crow

These are my honest-to-goodness top 5 desert island songs. I didn't worry about appearing worldly or well-listened. Each song genuinely moves me. Keep up the awesomeness!

• "Fields of Gold," by Eva Cassidy
  
• "In the Basement," by Etta James
  
• "The Sweetest Drop," by Peter Murphy
  
• "Mercenary Territory," by Little Feat;

These songs make me smile!

• "My Doorbell," by The White Stripes
  
• "Hiroshima," by Ben Folds
  
• "Acid Tongue," by Jenny Lewis
• "Penguins," by Lyle Lovett
  

6 p.m. Derrick Dallas

• "Puppets," by Depeche Mode
  This has always been my favorite of Depeche Mode's lesser-played songs and Speak and Spell was my first DM album.

• "Five Years," by David Bowie
  Always a huge Bowie fan, and listening to this song still gives me chills.

• "The First Time I Met the Blues," by Buddy Guy
  Truly a great blues song and Buddy does it incredible justice.

• "Raining in Baltimore," by Counting Crows
  I heard this track on an episode of Homicide: Life on the Streets, and realized that I owned such a great song.

• "Safety in Numbers," by Crack the Sky
  The very first song I heard from CTS. I think they're the most under-appreciated local area band. Their music was incredible and had so much more depth than some hits of today.
