What top 10 songs would you play on the radio if you could?
Edited on Fri Aug-11-06 06:28 PM by GoPsUx
I did a mylist top 10 songs a few months back for a local radio station And it is finally coming up Sat 4:00 kansas time
http://www.965thebuzz.com/top10.asp
you can listen on line if you join the buzz freeloaders
"James is from Kansas City. In twenty words or less James is: 40 year old liberal who works two jobs and loves alternative music

#1: CAKE – Guitar Man
#2: WEEZER – No One Else
#3: WHITE STRIPES – I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself
#4: GREEN DAY – Poprocks and Coke
#5: RILO KILEY – Portions for Foxes
#6: CAKE – Mexico
#7: VIOLENT FEMMES – Kiss Off
#8: 311– Amber
#9: GREEN DAY – Give Me Novocaine
#10: HOLE – Awful"

The only thing that pisses me off is I wanted "Guitar" by Cake and they swapped "guitar man" the bread cover arrrgh!!

Ecxept for country music. But I bought the soundtrack for "Brother, Where Art Thou" and I really like it. American roots music. It was a real eye opener for me. I love that album.
