    that's like picking a favorite family member. plus, anyone who knows me on here would know that the beatles and the who would take up almost the entire ten, with some moody blues, stones and bowie squeezed in.

    Very difficult alright. I have left out some amazing songs too. I could change it everyday. Remember only one song from an artist.

    I think Hey Jude is one of the most overrated songs ever. There are so many other Beatle songs that are so much better.
