The Pre-Election 10

[SFHoya99]

• Blues Traveler - But Anyway
  
• Pearl Jam - Jeremy
  
• Mushroom - Laughing Colors
  
• I'm Goin' Down - Bruce Springsteen
  
• What's My Name - The Clash
  
• Get Back - The Beatles
  
• Exit Music (For A Film) - Radiohead
  
• You Spin Me Round - Dead or Alive
  
• Kingpin - Wilco
  
• You Were Made for Me - Sam Cooke

That could've been a lot worse.

[Boz]

OK, here's the full iPod. Much larger selection:

Flex-It Formula - Professor Murder
Window Of My World - Guided By Voices
Oh, Goddamnit - Hot Hot Heat
The Love Cats - The Cure
Satellite - The Replacements
Beat City - The Raveonettes
Smile - Lily Allen
Suedehead - Morrissey
Happy Holidays, You Bastard - Blink 182 (OK, a little embarrassed by that one)
Fix Me Now - Garbage

Unbelievable really that I went through that with only one Cure song and nothing by Depeche Mode or New Order. (Two Moz tunes did come up though.)

The Smiths (slash Morrissey), DM, NO and The Cure -- or as I like to call them, the Mount Rushmore of the alternative 80s -- make up a huge part of my overall collection, but no dice.

Note to TC: after this election I really have to stop hating you, since that was a pretty damn good 10.

9. Mr. Bojangles (Walker)

I'm impressed you put Jerry Jeff's original recording on the list -- about 900 different people have recorded more popular versions of that song. Incidentally, Mr. Bojangles was Richard Nixon's favorite tune. I'm not sure what that says about your taste in music.

Just that it was his only redeeming quality? I love Jerry Jeff; saw a concert of his about 35 years ago at Cornell, when I was a grad student.
