The Commons were a band from Trenton, New Jersey. Led by singer Keith Monacchio, they released a ton of great albums over the years and were one of my favorite local bands.

"American Ghost" wasn't just a great album, it had several of their best all-time tracks as well. Guess it's best to go out on top?
