US Presidential hopefuls Barack Obama and John McCain have each revealed their ten favourite songs to Blender Magazine. I realise this post is a bit of a cop-out but the post I’ve been working on is taking a little longer than planned. Anyhow I thought this was an interesting insight even and there are a few gems picked by both though I’m sure both were revised a hundred times by million dollar PR teams. 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:
