Give up the Fight

Five for Fighting
Two Lights
(Aware/Sony BMG)

Hey, here's an idea: How about we put Five for Fighting's John Ondrasik in a cage with James Blunt, Damien Rice, Daniel Powter -- and a gun with three bullets?

The one who comes out alive gets to be the officially sanctioned Wimpy-Guy Troubadour of His Generation.

The others get the immortality and career boosts that come from untimely death. And we only have to listen to one CD of sensitive singer-songwriter pop and poignant post-9/11 piano ballads like this every couple of years.

So really, everybody wins.

Track Listing:

1. Freedom Never Cries
2. World
3. California Justice
4. The Riddle
5. Two Lights
6. 65 Mustang
7. I Just Love You
8. Policeman's Xmas Party
9. Road To Heaven
10. Johnny America
