This. Primarily the last part.

Just post a list of top 10 pre-90s shit (such that they might play on your parents' radio station). That's what I did. :/

The Smiths - I Know It's Over
Bob Dylan - Tangled Up in Blue
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
Pink Floyd - Have a Cigar
The Cure - Just Like Heaven
Violent Femmes - Add it Up
The Clash - Straight to Hell

This is very difficult for me, so I'm going to go down the artist list on my Ipod and pick my favorite song from my favorite artists.

T.N.T. - AC/DC
Crazy - Aerosmith
I Saw her Standing There - The Beatles
Here Comes the Sun - The Beatles (Beatles get 2 because they are my all-time favorite band)
How Deep is Your Love - Bee Gees
Just the Way You Are - Billy Joel
Foreplay/Longtime - Boston
We've Only Just Begun - The Carpenters
25 or 6 to 4 - Chicago
Hotel California - The Eagles
Your Song - Elton John
The Chain - Fleetwood Mac
Jukebox Hero - Foreigner
Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns n' Roses
Who's Crying Now - Journey
Black Dog - Led Zepplin
Hello - Lionel Richie
Thriller - Michael Jackson
My Love - Paul McCartney
Hey You - Pink Floyd
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
Miss You - Rolling Stones
Come Sail Away - Styx
Behind Blue Eyes - The Who

It's much easier for me to do a top 5/10 from a specific artist.
