You asked for 10!

Here are mine:

1. Brown Eyed Girl
2. Mustang Sally
3. Proud Mary
4. Jenny 8675309
5. Suzy Q
6. Crossroads
7. Margaritaville
8. Johnny B. Goode
9. Turn the Page
10. Cocaine

There, that wasn't so hard. Every band I've ever been in has played at least half of these.

I never would have thought about that... Child scandals aside, Michael Jackson made some good music. I should look into more of his work.

Here's my little list-

Muse- Time Is Running Out
The Jam- Funeral Pyre
Any Rush track- Limelight is my favorite
Jaco- Donna Lee
The Smiths- Barbarism Begins At Home
Stone Roses- I Am The Resurrection
Level 42- Love Games
Police- Walking On The Moon
RHCP- Hump Da Bump (I love this song)
Muse- Starlight
The Smiths- This Charming Man
New Order- Blue Monday riffs (all 6 of them!)
Level 42- Lessons In Love
Def Leppard- POur Some Sugar On Me (this is easy!)

Do I get any points for the fact the grand majority of these are British like I am?
