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? We were be surprised at some of the picks. You might be, too. Head over to Blender and find out.

I'm not a Barack supporter, but if I was I wouldn't want people to know I support the same person Madonna does. O_o That's a whole reason to NOT vote for him. (Just in case no one knows, it's in the photos about "Pop stars rocking Obama fashions" )

It takes lots of nerve to critize music that others enjoy, it's all relative and frankly nobodyelse's business. Get a life u morons.

With Obama and Michelle: You will not here the song: Happy Day's are here Again; It will be: The Platters Song: The Great Pertender ! Followed by: Worried Mind, and The classic hit by Eddy arnold: Make the World Go Away ! When he is elected the Hymn Were All Sinners followed by: I'll do It My Way! not by Frank Sinarta, but written by the Rev Wright !

What the hell? Come on, AOL, you bait the reader with what songs John McCain listens to and then, when I click on the article to find out, you send me to Obama,s top ten. Don't give a monkey's posterior about Obama's taste - I want to know what McCain listens to -that is false advertising....

I see the idiots have answered the question the person listing their top ten was hoping for. It matters in what way the music ANYONE listens too??? Yep, spear chucker music will sway my vote or whitey music sway me the other.... duh.

How could Mellencamp refuse McCain the right to use his music, McCain fought for his right to have the luxury of making music and in return making a handsome amount of money doing so. People are just plain screwed up!

The media should cover more important topics. Personally, Obama has much better tastes that the old lemming. GO OBAMA!

Something is just not right about these lists. How can John McCain's list of favorite songs be better and cooler than Barack Obama's list? Both lists were evidently put together by the candidate's campaigns to garner support from the masses. Gimme Shelter is Barack's 4th favorite song??? Please!!!
