I'm making my pre-election playlist on iTunes.

[GrizzlyMan]

So far I have:

""Barracuda", Heart (I love the song, and refuse to allow Palin to ruin it for me)

"The Rising", Bruce Springsteen

"You Are My Sunshine", Gene Autry (this is in honor of FDR)

"A long time coming"

I like all kinds of music, but I want to avoid obvious songs like "Beautiful Day". It's been done to death, no offense to U2.

Anyone have any suggestions? I would love to see other playlists DUers have.

[Warren DeMontague]

1. "Begin The Begin"- R.E.M... "Democracy"- Leonard Cohen...

Franklin's Tower- The Grateful Dead.

[symbolman]

2. How about an REM song for McCain?

"It's the End of The World As We Know It.."

And I feel fine.. :)

[PFunk]

3. Mine will start with "Call It Democracy" by Bruce Cockburn.

and now will end with "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" by The Offspring" in honor of the bailout (not recovery).

4. Dan Bern - Take Back the New Millennium

Dan has a lot of songs that would be great for a pre-election playlist.

5. Máire Brennan- 'Change My World'

Thought of O'Bama when I heard this....

Good luck with the compilation.

[AbbeyRoad]

6. The Beatles "Getting Better"

Oasis "All Around the World"

I know they've been used in some commercials, but if you can get beyond that I think they kind of work.

7. a somber but necessary pick..

Find The Cost Of Freedom by CSNY

Also, A Change Is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke

8. Roam - B52s

because I like the upbeat song.

9. My election playlist

"No Surrender" by Bruce Springsteen

"Ain't No Stoppin Us Now"

"Get On Your Feet" by Glorida Estefan

Theme from "Greatest American Hero"

"The World's Greatest" by R. Kelly

"We Can" by Leann Rhimes

"We Are the Champions" (for election night)

I've used pretty much that same playlist every even October for the past 6 years.
