    Create a CD with your 20 favorite songs (2nd attempt)

    Okay, a simple "name your twenty or so favorite songs" should be easier to deal with then my previous existential attempt. So, create a CD with your 20 favorite songs
    My top 20 (it stays essentially the same as 20 songs representative of humanity).
    1. Louie Armstrong - Wonderful World
    2. Symphony No. 9 (Ode to Joy) - Beethoven
    3. Back to Good - Matchbox 20
    4. Alien - Bush
    5. Canon in D Major - Pachebel (sp?)
    6. Imagine - John Lennon
    7. Shadowlands - Bruce Hornsby
    8. Night Swimming - REM
    9. The Hurricane - Bob Dylan
    10. Say it Ain't So - Weezer
    11. Plush - Stone Temple Pilots
    12. Yellow Ledbetter - Pearl Jam
    13. Walk on the Ocean - Toad the Wet Sprocket
    14. Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead
    15. Blowin' in the Wind - Joan Baez
    16. Jack and Diane - John Cougar Mellencamp
    17. The Gambler - Kenny Rogers
    18. Juicy - Notorious BIG
    19. Changes - Tupac
    20. Reflections - The Supremes

    Wow, that was damn tough. There were a lot of AMAZING songs I had to leave off. Additionally, I'm somewhat surprised to find what a male dominated list I ended up with. While partially (and perhaps majorly) a function of the fact that they were largely excluded from the musical realm until the 50's, i'm still a bit surprised to see it come out that way.
