Topic: You're a new Radio DJ. What are the first 10 songs you play?

You know you've always wanted to be a Radio DJ, and now here's your chance.  Your radio station plays 60s-90's music.  What do you play?  To make this fun and see if your listeners like your set list, the next person to post will rate your set list 1-10 stars.  Example:   Next person to post after mine, rate my set list then create your own.

Here's mine:

1.  Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire
2.  Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man
3.  Neil Young - Keep on Rockin' in the Free World
4.  Bob Seger - Like A Rock
5.  Led Zeppelin - When the Levee Breaks
6.  Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
7.  Stevie Ray Vaughn - Pride and Joy
8.  Peter Frampton - Feel Like I Do
9.  Guns n Roses - Patience
10. U2 - One

Good luck and have fun!

Hey SouthPaw! I thought you were mixing together the two songs per line together 'til I got to the end.

Hey LPG, Upyerkilt, Badeye and Zurf! I hope too many people don't respond to this thread; I'm going to be listening to songs and choons I haven't heard before for months as it is! cool

Brilliant thread LPG! What eclectic tastes we all have!
