Thread: PPOs Top 10 Songs

If you could only choose 10 songs to listen to for the rest of your life what are they...

1. In the Air Tonight- Phil Collins
2. Ghetto Gospel- Tupac/Elton John
3. Iris- Goo Goo Dolls
4. One- Metallica
5. Dead Wrong- Notorious B.I.G/Eminem
6. Savior- Rise Against
7. Ambitionz Az a Ridah- Tupac
8. Hit Em Up- Lil Wayne
9. Free Fallin'- John Mayer's version
10. Tears in Heaven- Eric Clapton

1) One Way Out - The Allman Brothers Band
2) Jungleland - Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band
3) Tangled up in Blue - Bob Dylan
4) Sugar Magnolia - The Grateful Dead
5) Going to California - Led Zeppelin
6) The Times They Are A-Changin - Bob Dylan
7) The Sound of Silence - Simon and Garfunkel
8) Hey Jude - Wilson Pickett and Duane Allman
9) You Better You Bet - The Who
10) Paint it Black - The Rolling Stones

This was really tough. I'd probably have to throw a rap song on there too for some variety, and either Ray Charles, "What'd I Say" or Curtis Mayfield, "Move on Up."

It also pains me to have two of the same musician on there, but it's Dylan and I couldn't choose.

*sigh* I had my list almost done and the website croaked on me.

1) Kite - U2
2) And a Bang on the Ear - The Waterboys
3) Sweet Surrender - Sarah McLachlan
4) Shoot to Thrill - AC/DC
5) These Are Days - 10,000 Maniacs
6) Ship of Fools - World Party
7) Groove is in the Heart - Dee-Lite
8) The Boxer - Simon & Garfunkel
9) Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker) - Parliament
10) Train in Vain - The Clash

That was tough, and I'm sure I could list 10 more with no problem.

Had to get one rap song on there, just for some variety. And an 80s hit, of course. Quite hard to make a list like this. Nice idea for a thread.

Its suppose to be hard. I picked 10 rather than 20 or so, forcing you to have to think harder about it. It was all part of my master plan. B)
