OK, let's say you were to burn a CD to give to someone in order to introduce them to a specific band. What songs would you use? The catch: you are limited to 10 songs.
Here's two to start:
The B-52's (no surprise):
1.Rock Lobster
2.Private Idaho
3.Mesopotamia
4.Give Me Back My Man (the Party Mix version)
5.Whammy Kiss
6.Communicate
7.Planet Claire
8.Love Shack
9.Is That You Mo-Dean
10.Pump
Red Hot Chili Peppers:
1.True Men Don't Kill Coyotes
2.Jungle Man
3.Fight Like a Brave
4.Under the Bridge
5.Higher Ground (awesome cover)
6.Can't Stop
7.Hump De Bump
8.This is the Place (from By the Way)
9.Californication
10.Warped

armeck, I like how you think
Linkin Park:
1. In The End
2. My<Dsmbr
3. Pushing Me Away
4. Easier to Run
5. Breaking the Habit
6. What I've Done
7. Pts.Of.Athrty
8. Valentine's Day
9. The Catalyst
10. Waiting for the End
I think that would show a good sample of the surprisingly large range of styles they've developed over the years, as well as minimizing the screaming and mostly-rap tracks that could alienate future fans just by default. And I think it's fitting that it begins and ends with those particular tracks

I would've replaced "what i've done" with either "iridescent" or "leave out all the rest" other than that i really like your cd there.
Relient k:
1, sadie hawkins dance
2, i need you
3, be my escape
4, part of it
5, nothing without you
6, from end to end
7, my girlfriend
8, in love with the 80's (pink tux to the prom)
9, must have done something right
10, pressing on
