Because it's easy

And the random ten with minor comments...
"Rocky Mountain Way" by Joe Walsh
Another bit of proof that I like the individual Eagles way better than I ever liked the collective...the group sucked...the guy weren't all bad
"In the Garden" by Van Morrison
The entirety of Astral Weeks is marvelous, looping back and forth on itself time and again, making for a great listen. The Girl hates the whole album and pretty much won't let me play it even once while she's around.
"Just a Kid" by Wilco
From the Spongebob Soundtrack...one of the more entertaining kids' movie soundtracks in a while.
"Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" by Wham
Forever tied to the tragedy that can come from gas fights for me now.
"Tainted Love" by Soft Cell
This is the short version, without "Where Did Our Love Go". For trivia, feel free to learn that the album from which this came is called Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret.
"Beautiful" by Smashing Pumpkins
Tough one to classify because it's sort of pretty but not identifyable as anything in particular to me. I do wonder why the Pumpkins had to self-destruct.
"Cry on Demand" by Ryan Adams
Amazingly sad song that just sounds beautiful is you're not paying attention.
"Scarlet" by U2
Very early U2, jangly guitar, almost a gospel feel with the repeated "rejoice" line.
"Waltzing's for Dreamers" by Richard Thompson and Shawn Colvin
This one's from the live boxed set that any Thompson fan should have. Amazing collection of his work.
"1979" by Smashing Pumpkins
They return and present a blast of an upbeat song. Great stuff...

Have to say, Wake Me Up is one great song to sing along to.

I had a spontaneous sing-along to "Wake Me Up" in Joanna Pollard's class last year. It came on the iTunes while the class was working, and they slowly built until nearly every person was singing.

Very cool...
