Barack Obama, John McCain Reveal Top 10 Favorite Songs


We know where they stand on off-shore drilling and the differences on their exit strategies for Iraq, but one question remains: What do they have on their iPods? Sure, we know that Barack Obama is partial to Stevie Wonder for rallies and John McCain liked John Mellencamp (before the singer asked him to stop using his music), but what do they listen to to get pumped up or to wind down on the campaign trail? Flip through the photos below to find out. We were surprised at some of the picks that they revealed to Blender. You might be, too.

Anybody who has Cher in their top 10 list is definitely not "hip." Needless to say you are most likely over 70, suffering from a somewhat large age identity crisis.

From your name, aladnsane, I thought you would like David Bowie, which is great music, but your list is BAD. To each his own.

BMJat 8-18-2008

Don't hate...lol. He has said on many occasions that he respects the American flag. There's a difference between saluting the flag, honoring the flag and not showing respect for it. Learn the difference. He may not pledge allegiance to it and he may not honor it, but that doesn't mean he doesn't respect the flag.

And so what if you think he's a Muslim? He's not and he said that on many occasions even though he said he's studied the Isalmic faith. The crazy MF's that are in the middle ease are not practicing the Islamic faith as being taught the the Holy Qu'Ran. they are just willing to kill anyone that tries to bring Western dominance into their country and life.

Please learn the diffence. Damn, I hate stupid people.
