He had "You Can't Always Get What You Want" play right before his vice presidential pick debuted on stage, right?
In which case I find the song selection sort of hilarious.

Music lists have been broken down into so many different categories (including "what does it really matter" categories) that whether or not the idea of lists about women can withstand the greatest scrutiny, I think it's at least worthy of a forum run-through once.Rob wrote:

This is slightly before my time, but the Cars had numerous albums and singles in the top 10, and the J. Geils Band were a Number One across-the-board hit for a moment there (and then broke up). Someone here could probably give a nice defense of them.
