Hope this hasn't been done already. Open your iTunes or comparable music player, put it on shuffle, and post the first ten songs that come up. You can just hit the 'skip' button 10 times to do it quickly. I think this game is kind of fun to see the variations between different people. There is also the potential for embarrassment if one of your "guilty pleasures" shows up. I'll start:

1. Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix Experience
2. Jungle Boogie - Kool and the Gang
3. Miss Being Mrs. - Loretta Lynn
4. Pablo & Andrea - Yo La Tengo
5. Montell Benson (Mashup) - Go Home Productions
6. Do The Dog - The Specials
7. The Revolution Will Not Be Televised - Gil Scott-Heron
8. Here I Am - Al Green
9. Thru (Simon Grey Dub Rework) - Kings Of Tomorrow
10. Wanted Dead or Alive - Bon Jovi
 
1. If 6 Was 9 - Jimi Hendrix Experience
2. Cherokee - Clifford Brown & Max Roach
3. Chaos - Mutemath
4. Reach Out (I'll Be There) - The Four Tops
5. She's Leaving Home - The Beatles
6. My Life - Billy Joel
7. Giant Steps - Buddy Rich
8. Sesame Seeds - Mitch Hedberg
9. Can't Change Me - Chris Cornell
10. Frog.......Secret Agent - 3 Leg Torso
 
ooooh these are always fun!!

When It Rains - Paramore (ok, off to a bad start)
Repressed - Apocalypitca
Nuguns - System Of A Down
Hours Of Wealth - Opeth (Finally, a song I actually listen to.)
Baby - Tenacious D
Perfect - Flyleaf
A Lot Of Nothing V - Coheed And Cambria
Tie My Rope - Children Of Bodom (One of the few songs I like from this band)
Never Enough - Dream Theater
Snowman - Frost*

well I thought it would end up a lot worse.... although I'm disappointed their wasn't any Tony Williams, Miles Davis, Porcupine Tree or The Dave Matthews Band....

Thanks. I agree, Van Lear Rose is a great album. An unlikely collaboration between two great artists that really worked. I dig every song on it. I usually play it when we're on the road, heading for a camping trip. It really fits the mood in rural surroundings.

Now, given that you liked my list, I think I should check out some of the bands on yours that I'm not familiar with.

lol... don't bother! Nohawks are a punk band I used to play with, songs there are differerent stages of mixing, Warren G and Geto Boys are 90's rap, Propagandhi are also a punk band, Cedar is another band of mine, again, a rough mix...

I do however strongly recommend Curtis Mayfield and Sly and the Family Stone if you are into Kool and the Gang.

Van Lear Rose is one of the few albums my gf and I can really agree upon. I do admittedly have a bit of a soft spot for a bit of twang, but Mr. White's production of the album as a whole makes it pretty classic. Just good music.
 
1. I'm Housin - Rage Against The Machine
2. Broken Mirror - Medeski Martin and Wood
3. Intro and Rondo in E-flat major, Op.16 - Vladimir Horowitz
4. Bombtrack - Rage Against The Machine

6. Swunk - Joshua Redman

8. Smile at Me - Screaming Headless Torsos
9. River People - Jaco Pastorius Big Band
10. Nalgas - Stanton Moore
