Back in August last year I posted that US Presidential hopefuls
Barack Obama and
John McCain had each revealed their ten favourite songs. The list stil makes for interesting reading and provided some insight.
Though there are a few gems picked by both the cynic in me is sure the lists were revised a hundred times by million dollar PR teams before either went public. Enjoy.
Barack Obama's Top Ten:
The Fugees - Ready Or Not
Marvin Gaye - 'What's Going On'
Bruce Springsteen - 'I'm On Fire'
The Rolling Stones -'Gimme Shelter'
Nina Simone - 'Sinnerman'
Kanye West - 'Touch The Sky'
Frank Sinatra - 'You'd Be So Easy To Love'
Aretha Franklin - 'Think'
U2 - 'City of Blinding Lights'
will.i.am - 'Yes We Can'
John McCain's top ten:
ABBA - 'Dancing Queen'
