OK. Imagine you're established as a major name on the music scene, and it's your turn to make a "Back To Mine" or "Under The Influence". Obviously, a number of songs that would fit into a CD (I am keeping mine down to a smaller number of tracks, as two of them are "suites" that occupy half of the CD)

Starting off with mine:

Geir Hongro (Hongroe ;) ): Under The Influence

Supper's Ready - Genesis
From Me To You - The Beatles
Grass - XTC
Blashemous Rumours - Depeche Mode
Let's Go To Bed - The Cure
P.E.T.R.O.L - Orbital
Don't Hang Up - 10cc
Close To The Edge - Yes
Only You - Yazoo
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
Four Seasons In One Day - Crowded House
