Where Scien and I have overlapper I've tried to give a different song. If you don't like either of our suggestions then it's time to delete.

Great idea but I think a thread per person would work out best.

Doing a bit of iTunes reorganizing here and i have lots of Bands/Artists that i've never bothered listening to.
I'll never have the time or patience to try and get into them myself.

So, below are a list of Bands/Artists that i have in my iPod with at least 2 albums. I need you to name 1 song only from each Artist.
From this 1 song i will determine whether i start deleting that particular artist/band or whether i'll cherish them in my iPod for ever and ever and become their biggest fan.

(Also, feel free to do the same with the unknowns in your own iPod.)

Here goes:

The All American Rejects:
The Automatic:
Badly Drawn Boy:
Death cab for a cutie:
Dire Straits:
Electric Six:
Fountains of Wayne:
The Hoosiers:
Incubus:
Jimmy Eat World:
Josh Ritter:
Joy Division:
Kasabian:
Klaxons:
Ladytron:
Led Zeppelin (I know, i know ) :
The Libertines:
The Magic Numbers:
Maximo Park:
My Chemical Romance:
Placebo:
Rooney:
The Smiths:
Sufjan Stevens:
Talking Heads:
Velvet Revolver:
