Currently Listening Stevie Wonder - The Definitive Collection By Stevie Wonder see related

The other day I heard a story on the radio about Obama and McCain's top 10 favorite songs.  While the story didn't list all of their songs out, they did say that the two were quite different: Obabma favoring the Fugees and McCain favoring Abba, and both having at least one Sinatra song on their respective lists. (For their full list, see http://www.blender.com/WhiteHouseDJBattle/articles/39518.aspx)  My initial thought was I'm sure I'd have more in common with Obama than McCain just because of the generational gap, but then I strated thinking about my own top 10 list.  I wasn't sure exactly what my list would include, but as I thought about it I realized it's pretty diverse (even one McCain pick, which kind of surprised me).  Here's what I came up with as my Top 10 favorite songs (in absolutely no order whatsoever).

• "Indescribable" by Laura Story (a little better than Chris Tomlin's remake)
• "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder (that bass riff is just so infectious, you can't help but love it)
• "Pride (In the Name of Love)" by U2
• "Sabotage" by the Besatie Boys (I'm not sure why... maybe the Starsky & Hutch style video)
• "Ants Marching" by Dave Matthews Band (especially the live version with the 3 minute intro)
• "What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong (this is one McCain picked too).
• Largo movement from Symphony No. 9 by Antonin Dvorak
• "Jungle Boogie" by Kool & the Gang ("get up-a wit' da' get down!")
• "After The Last Tear Falls" by Andrew Peterson
• "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" by The Beatles (there's just something about songs in 6/8)
