1) Aimee Mann – You Do
-This song reminds me of driving on a gray fall day back in NY. I think you could probably pick a lot of her songs though for fall.

2) Ryan Adams – Easy Plateau
-I think the slide guitar, in the way it is used in this song, feels very autumn.

3) The Dismemberment Plan – Superpowers
The first 3 tracks on ‘Change’ by The Dismemberment Plan always remind me of fall, but I guess I’d pick Superpowers above the other two.

4) Beta Band – Squares

5) Grandaddy – Now It’s On
Maybe it’s the beards, maybe it’s the flannel, maybe it is the album cover, but this one always struck me as late fall/early winter.

6) Great Lake Swimmers – Your Rocky Spine

7) R.E.M. – Band and Blame

Sufjan Stevens – All The Trees of the Field Will Clap Their Hands

9) Smashing Pumpkins – Thirty-Three

10) Radiohead – Everything In Its Right Place

Of course damn near anything Bob Dylan wrote pre-1967 works for this. Same goes for Cash,with the exception of the last two records.

I’d add the following:

Beirut “Nantes” – I know ‘bouncy roggae’ doesn’t usually shout autumn, but something about the chorus ‘Nobody raise your voices, it’s just another night in Nantes’ makes me feel cozy and wine-drunk.

Sufjan Stevens ‘Casimir Pulaski Day’: I know Pulaski day is in the spring, but this is a tune that will get you out of bed on a late November morning.

Led Zeppelin ‘Stairway to Heaven’: There I said it.

Wilco ‘Ashes of American Flags’: Swirling vortex of aching over the fall of American dominance and the death of our brothers in arms. Yea, that’s fall alright.

Neil Young ‘Harvest Moon’: Really surprised no one said this one! A primary instrument is a broom sweeping up a porch! This song is rocking chairs and apple cider personified.
