Quick! Pick yout FIVE favorite songs of all time without consulting your record collection

What a pathetically inadequate list.

i think that this may be the point of the drill. how could i else forget the the's 'dogs of lust', joy division's 'love will tear us apart' and rage against the machine's 'bullet in the head'?
if i had remembered them, tho, which songs should go?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

All but the Prince and Aaliyah subject to change daily. I can think of around a dozen Neil Finn songs alone.

This is a difficult exercise.
