Even if you’re convinced that a band changing their sound is the worst thing that’s ever happened to you, it’s perfectly natural for someone’s music to develop and shift from album to album. But every once in a while, those shifts are so dramatic that the early work ends up sounding like it was released by an entirely different band than the more recent material.
Autumn is just around the corner, and that means one thing: it’s almost time to throw on your comfiest sweater and trade in the upbeat sunny anthems you’ve been singing the past four months for something a little more chilled out. It’s always fun to return to your usual favorites, but it’s even more exciting to add something unexpected to the playlist — which is why for this week’s Tuesday Ten, we asked our writers about ten songs they didn’t like until they heard them acoustic.
“All Along the Watchtower†is stripped to the bare bones of a song and a story, but it’s still enough to make it a timeless classic and inspire an incredible cover by the one and only Jimi Hendrix, and later, Envy on the Coast.

Whether you’re forever alone or have managed to find happiness with someone, there’s one thing we can all agree on: Valentine’s Day is the worst. To help you through it, our writers have compiled their top picks from bands like Brand New, Dashboard Confessional, and Lydia for our list of the top ten songs to listen to while alone in your bed eating ice cream.
