Gakked from sevvy_o.

* Step 1: Put your playlist on random.
* Step 2: Post the first line from the first 10 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
* Step 3: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.

I did the same thing she did and did 20 just for fun, and also took out instrumentals and showtunes.

1) The Who, 'Pinball Wizard' (although your version might be the movie soundtrack one with Elton John)
9) Savage Garden, 'Crash and Burn' (my wife is actually playing it at this very second - how's that for coincidence?)
13) The Eagles, 'Life in the Fast Lane'
16) Nirvana, 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'
17) U2, 'Desire'

Right on all of them! (And don't tell your wife, but that song was one of the ones I cringed at including, lol, but it said "no matter how embarrassing.")

You cringed at 'Crash and Burn'? Why? It's a total classic! Far better than, for instance, 'Desire', which was a massive disappointment to me, when it came out, after the really good stuff that U2 had done on 'The Unforgettable Fire' and 'The Joshua Tree'.

I went through my Savage Garden phase in middle school, so I tend to think of it as kind of juvenile (although "Crash and Burn" is definitely less cringe-worthy than some of their other songs).

Random fun fact: To this day, I still associate their first album with Stephen King's "The Stand," because I listened to it on repeat while reading during a really long car ride.

The really cringeworthy Savage Garden song is 'The Animal Song'. I mean 'Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie'. Really? Darren and Daniel obviously never met my cat.

Oh, dear heavens, yes. Also, "Truly Madly Deeply" and "I Knew I Loved You" are way, way too sappy for my inner cynic. (And yet... they're still on my computer. I need to learn to delete.)

Seriously? Rattle and Hum a "disappointment"? Although, you're in the UK, aren't you. It wasn't as well received over there, as I recall. Us yanks loved it.

I don't know about the South of England but in the North, and in the Celtic Fringe, it was widely regarded as an abandonment of their Celtic roots in favour of a mediocre attempt to be American. 'Achtung Baby' at least acquitted them of that charge but, unfortunately, just wasn't very good. They didn't win us back until 'All That You Can't Leave Behind'.

Oooh, ouch! 'Achtung Baby' is my desert island album... the one I absolutely can't live without! But I do love 'All That You Can't Leave Behind', too.
