Music Picks From Obama, McCain

from National Public Radio
August 12, 2008

Blender magazine has published a list of top 10 songs from presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama.

"Ready or Not" by the Fugees is on top of Obama's list, while Will.i.am's Yes We Can is at No. 10.

ABBA's "Dancing Queen" tops McCain's list. The GOP candidate has the group's "Take a Chance on Me" at No. 3.

Only one artist makes it on both lists: Frank Sinatra. McCain has Sinatra's "I've Got You Under My Skin" at No. 8, and Obama has Old Blue Eyes' "You'd Be So Easy To Love" at No. 7.
