Of the 200k+ songs available for purchase on the Apple Music Store, if you had to pick just one song (not Prince since we all have all of his stuff) for someone to buy - something they likely never heard before that will blow them away for their 99 cents, what one song would you pick?

My choice is easy

For Whom the Bell Tolls by the Bee Gees - The full version from the album Size Isn't Everything.

Well, since I am a Canadian and the store is only available to Americans, and since I don't have an Apple computer, and since I can't search their music database, I don't know if they would have what I wanted to look for.

But, you mentioned "something they likely never heard before", so if we expanded this question to "pick a song for someone that is not mainstream", I would go for one of two groups I'm digging right now.

Either:

Fortran 5: Groove

or

Happy the Man: I Forgot to Push It

yea - that's the idea. It's so easy to listen to something or someone you've never heard before with the iTunes Music Store that I thought it'd be great to have somewhere to get and give suggestions of what to try out.

It won't take long to fill in the few holes in my music collection so I figured the next step was to have suggestions of other great music.

And you don't have to have a Mac to make suggestions on this thread (iTune for Windows is coming)- and it's ok if the song isn't there yet because the library will grow in size so it may end up there soon.

btw: the store is supposed to come to other countries soon too - the current US only status is a record company restriction - rights on music, and even track listings for albums can vary by country. I do hope Apple can work things out so that "imports" are available on their site.
