My List: Jenny Lewis

Rilo Kiley's singer - whose album hits the charts this month - checks in from the road to analyze her favorite classic rock and reggae

Bob Dylan: Highlands [Listen]
Lewis loves this 1997 tune: "He contemplates having a conscience, is accused of not reading female authors and admits to not knowing the difference between real blondes and fakes. A classic!"

Rolling Stones: Before They Make Me Run [Listen]
"My favorite Stones song, sung beautifully by Keith," she says about this Some Girls track, a response to getting busted for heroin. "If Keith wants to walk, let the man walk!"

Sugar Minott: Oh Mr. DC [Listen]
"Don't you touch my collie," Minott warns on this reggae hit. Says Lewis, "I don't think he's talking about his dog."

Neil Young: Vampire Blues [Listen]
Lewis suspects this tune is about the record industry - and loves to see "joint roller" listed in the liner notes. "L.A. to the bone!"

Van Morrison: Crazy Love [Listen]
"A perfect song," she says of the 1970 ballad. "I hope someone gives me crazy love one day."
