1. We Are The Champions – Queen
2. The Consequences of Falling – k.d. lang
3. I Don’t Know What It Is – Rufus Wainwright
4. Take Me To The Pilot – Elton John
5. Bring Me Some Water – Melissa Etheridge
6. Tainted Love – Soft Cell
7. Closer To Fine – Indigo Girls
8. October – Kings
9. Tonight – George Michael
10. YMCA – The Village People
11. Driver Eight – R.E.M.
12. West End Girls – Pet Shop Boys
13. Cosmic Thing – The B-52’s
14. Born To Run – Frankie Goes To Hollywood
15. Gobbledigook – Sigur Ros
Some mighty fine tunes in there, if you ask me. This list was helpful to me in putting my own list together, and of course there’s always Wikipedia. Who’s on your list?
