There's so many songs that this always feels arbitrary, but I'll give it a try anyway. I'll also keep it to one per artist considering it could end up being mostly Radiohead and Beatles songs otherwise.
1. Bohemian Rhapsody- Queen
2. No Surprises- Radiohead
3. Strawberry Fields Forever- The Beatles
4. The Rain Song- Led Zeppelin
5. How Soon is Now- The Smiths
6. Gimme Shelter- The Rolling Stones
7. Beetlebum- Blur
8. Shangri-La- The Kinks
9. Teenage Dream- T Rex
10.All the Young Dudes- Mott the Hoople
