"Hunted by a Freak" by Mogwai is an atmospheric instrumental built sparsely around melody; it evolves and grows into a full-fledged piece, marked by a clean yet distinctive sound. This track gains order, rather than devolving into chaos.
"Thanks A Lot" by Third Eye Blind is a distinctive-sounding post-grunge song from the late 90s that bears a strong reminiscence to the Smashing Pumpkins' song "Rocket" off Siamese Dream. Comparisons to other bands don't really help describe a band, so rather consider a rock song based off of the usual elements. The song reveals both maturity and youth at the same time, creating an interesting contrast throughout.
"Jimmy Jazz" by the Clash is a "lazy" rock song, an impression given by the lax tempo and guitar sound. In some respects it is a blues song, based off of harmonizing and emphasis moreso than sophisticated guitar texture created off of complex progression.
