Inspired by the 10 rock albums everyone should own list, but I think this is a far more interesting question. These aren’t necessarily your ten favorite songs, nor the only ten songs that people should know. Just make a list of ten songs that would benefit anyone trying to get to know you better. Maybe they’re related to important facets of your personality, your history, or your beliefs. Maybe you just make jokes and references to them a lot. Could be any reason. Go!

"Spend It On Love" -- The Rainmakers

"Let the Day Begin" -- The Call

"Rock n Roll" -- Led Zeppelin

"Fearless" -- Pink Floyd

Taking seriously the notion that it's not "favorite" songs, these are foundational (in part, anyway) for my self-concept. Some to remind me of what's important, some to inspire me.

 

And, yeah, I know there's eleven -- so sue me!
