And you thought this wasn’t generational??
So Blender Magazine got the two candidates to write down their top 10 songs. Here they are courtesy of Blender:
Barack Obama
1. Ready or Not Fugees
2. What’s Going On Marvin Gaye
3. I’m On Fire Bruce Spingsteen
4. Gimme Shelter Rolling Stones
5. Sinnerman Nina Simone
6. Touch the Sky Kanye West
7. You’d Be So Easy to Love Frank Sinatra
8. Think Aretha Franklin
9. City of Blinding Lights U2
10. Yes We Can will.i.am
John McCain
1. Dancing Queen ABBA
2. Blue Bayou Roy Orbison
3. Take a Chance On Me ABBA
4. If We MakeIt Through December Merle Haggard
5. As Time Goes By Dooley Wilson
6. Good Vibrations The Beach Boys
7. What A Wonderful World Louis Armstrong
8. I’ve Got You Under My Skin Frank Sinatra
9. Sweet Caroline Neil Diamond
10. Smoke Gets In Your Eyes The Platters
So first McCain tells us that he doesn’t know how to use a computer. And now, while I’m not knocking Neil Diamond, Blue Eyes, or even The Beach Boys – what does it say that somebody seeking the office to lead in the 21st century, can not pick a tune that was produced in the last 5 years???
