If you had 10 minutes with Madonna and she said "I will play one song of mine for you" which would you choose? If you had the chance to meet up with some of your other fave artists for the same thing, what would songs would you choose?


Madonna - Angel
U2 - Drowning Man
Stevie Nicks - Sara
Lindsey Buckingham - Save Me a Place
The Police - Bed's Too Big Without You
Duran Duran - Hold Back the Rain
Blondie - In the Flesh
Third Eye Blind - I WAnt You

I would probably just ask them not to play anything and have a brief conversation. But rules are rules I suppose.

Madonna - Nothing Fails. Just her on acoustic guitar and voice
Bowie - Teenage Wildlife maybe
Bjork - Sweet Sweet Intuition
Prince - would 10 minutes really cut it? maybe a cover of "Like A Prayer"
Tricky - with Martina doing I Be The Prophet
The Cure - Disintegration. Fill up those 10 minutes.
New Order - Disorder by Joy Division
Liz Phair - Nashville
U2 - Elvis and America

Madonna - god knows err Dress You Up?
Kate Bush - The Morning Fog
Dylan - Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands (10 min genius from Blonde on Blonde which he's never played)
Bowie - Wild is the Wind maybe
Prince - Girls and Boys/Life can be so Nice (w/Wendy and Lisa)
Nirvana - Drain You (hey we're dreaming right)
Bjork - Anchor Song (I'll sing it with her!!)
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah (best performance I've ever seen live)
Bob Marley - anything o.k Waiting In Vain
Joni Mitchell - The last time I saw Richard


I could go on forever

I'd have Madonna sing Hanky Panky in pig latin, with accordion accompaniment.

Madonna - Not a fan of her
Bowie - Lady Stardust
Bjork - Shhh... shhh... I don't remember what it's actually called, I love the video!
Prince - The Ride. He didn't play that at my show, and I love the song.
Frank Zappa - Peaches En Regalia
Victor Wooten - Amazing Grace
The Beatles - The Long and Winding Road
