On the issues, Obama is clearly superior to McCain. On the songs it's a closer contest. In case you didn't already see brak55's journal, Blender asked the candidates to list their 10 favorites.

John McCain's Top 10:
1. Dancing Queen - ABBA
2. Blue Bayou - Roy Orbison
3. Take a Chance on Me - ABBA
4. If We Make It Through December - Merle Haggard
5. As Time Goes By - Dooley Wilson
6. Good Vibrations - Beach Boys
7. What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
8. I've Got You Under My Skin - Frank Sinatra
9. Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond
10. Smoke Gets in Your Eyes - Platters

Barack Obama's Top 10:
1. Ready or Not - Fugees
2. What's Going On - Marvin Gaye
3. I'm on Fire - Bruce Springsteen
4. Gimme Shelter - Rolling Stones
5. Sinnerman - Nina Simone
6. Touch the Sky - Kanye West
7. You'd Be So Easy to Love - Frank Sinatra
8. Think - Aretha Franklin
9. City of Blinding Lights - U2
10. Yes We Can - Will.i.am

Frank Kogan's Top 10:
1. Spoonin' Rap - Spoonie Gee
2. When I Hear Music - Debbie Deb
3. Anarchy in the U.K. - The Sex Pistols
4. I Can't Stand Myself - James Brown
5. Search and Destroy - The Stooges (the original Bowie mix, until someone does better, which Iggy himself sure didn't)
6. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - The Rolling Stones
7. Be My Baby - The Ronettes
8. Angel Baby - Rosie and the Originals
9. Nann Nigga - Trick Daddy f. Trina
10. Cum On Feel The Noize - Slade

(Not a very balanced ticket, I must admit: everything from Anglo-America, no country, no MOR, nothing before '62, and only two after '79. Actually think that the Trick Daddy is easily the most interesting music on this list and that popular music is more complex and fascinating right now in the '00s than it's ever been in my life, but the current stuff doesn't consistently touch my heart as much as the old songs do.)

Frank Kogan's Political Platform:
1. I promise to ram a single-payer health insurance system through congress.
2. I will elevate Social Secretary to a cabinet-level post.

MY top 10

[house-junkie.livejournal.com]

Though I support John McCain for President -- and have done so since 2000 -- I am a little bit disappointed in his top 10 List. Though ABBA's "Dabcing Queen" is an unexpected entry thereon. Musically I am VERY close to BHO's list -- I like it all and would include a few oin MY OWN top 10 list:

1."There Was a Time" -- James Brown
2. "What's Goin' On" -- Marvin Gaye
3. "Je te rends ton amour" -- Mylene Farmer
4. "Oooh What a Night" -- The Dells
5. "Love To Love You Baby" -- Donna Summer
6. "L'Europe" -- Noir Desir with Brigitte Fontaine
7. "I've Been Loving You Too Long" -- Otis Redding
8. "Mercedes Benz" -- Janis Joplin
9. "Woman Got Soul" -- Curtis Mayfield
10. "Move Your Body" -- Marshall Jefferson

As for BHO, I view him as a FAD THAT WILL FADE (indeed is fading even as I write this)
