In this Jeff Terich solo edition of Best Song Ever, the fine readers of Treble are given five songs to obsess over. Yeah, that’s right, obsess. They’re that freakin’ good. I’d play them over and over again, myself, if I weren’t afraid I’d ruin myself on them. Ah, what the hell, how ‘bout ...

Congratulations, you have made it to the middle of 2005! It’s the dead of summer. The 4th of July has already passed and it’s almost two months until Labor Day, the next holiday your employer will recognize. Well, at least you have the weekend.
