Yet another thread that reminds me how old I am as I read these lists and realize I've never heard the vast majority of these songs or artists

Otherwise making such a list is impossible

I remember being a teenager with my dad when he was shopping for a new tv/sound system for the living room. We were in some high end boutique electronics shops (that pretty much do not exist anymore, incidentally) and the guy used this song to demonstrate the quality of the stereo and some weird screen saver type thing on the tv (pre-LCD/plasma obviously) to demonstrate the television at the same time.

Had never had any patience for Sting's solo stuff until this point, but I loved the song then and still do.

Marshall Tucker Band-Can't You See (Live)
Rolling Stones- Can't You Hear Me Knocking
Bruce Springsteen-Johnny 99

The Beatles-Here Comes the Sun
Johnny Cash-God's Gonna Cut You Down
Charlie Daniels-Caballo Diablo
Elvis Presley-In the Ghetto
Bad Company-Feel Like Making Love
Grateful Dean-Truckin

This could go on for a long time
 
Good idea, Toby! My wife's list given in 90 seconds:

Bruce Springsteen - 4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)
John Lennon - Imagine
Beatles - Let It Be
Louis Armstrong - What a Wonderful World

Elton John - Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Rolling Stones - Wild Horses
Elvis Costello - (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace Love and Understanding
Aretha Franklin - Natural Woman
Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water

She demanded alternates after she saw that I got to have alternates:

Bruce Springsteen - Darkness On the Edge of Town
Jackson 5 - I'll Be There
Tom Petty - Woman in Love
Rolling Stones - Beast of Burden
Rush - Spirit of Radio
Bruce Springsteen - The Promised Land
Grateful Dead - Black Muddy River
Beatles - Here Comes the Sun
Beatles - You've Got To Hide Your Love Away
Gladys Knight and the Pips - Midnight Train To Georgia

She has further demanded an additional alternate. I've created a monster:

Queen - Somebody to Love

this list inspired when I saw toby's lists

my band once planned this as a set list:

Dancing With Myself - Billy Idol
I touch Myself - Divinyls
She Bop - Cindy Lauper
Turning Japanese - The Vapors
Longview - Green Day
Orgasm Addict - Buzzcocks
Pictures of Lilly - The Who
Blister in the Sun - Violent Femmes
Pump it Up - Elvis Costello
Darling Nikki - Prince

The Top Ten songs of all time about masturbation.

We only learned about half of them, and never played the planned all masturbation set, but the ones we learned saw regular rotation at our gigs. 25 years later we still play turning japanese, that song is a blast and belongs on my original list with Rio by Duran Duran.

No Basket Case? Edit: n/m thinking of Longview
 
BTW I've been annoying Keri no end tonight: when we review her top 10 and we get to the New Order track, I launch into "There ain't nobody with thieeeeeeeeeves... like us!" In a Paul McCartney stylee. High-larious. EVERY TIME!!!

Hey, I've been putting down Elvis since 1956 or so.

But you're right: I should have listed "Allison." My problem is that I can never decide which version I like best, his or Everything but the Girl's.
