Song of the Day: "Stuck Between Stations" -- The Hold Steady

You ever tell someone to look at a band you love and they ask what songs to check out and you don't know what to tell them other than "all of them" because every song on the album is just as good as the one before it? The Hold Steady's "Boys and Girls in America" is one of those albums. I went with "Stuck Between Stations" here, but really, any one of "Chips Ahoy!", "Hot Soft Light", "First Night", "You Can Make Him Like You", "Citrus" or "Massive Nights" would have been more than suitable introductions. Consider this an endorsement of all of those tracks.

The best way to describe The Hold Steady is a more indie Bruce Springsteen, minus Clarence Clemons, with almost as much lyrical skill and 300% more songs about drugs. If that sounds appealing at all, and trust me, it's a lot better than that description sounds, definitely check them out.
