I thought this was a neat idea. Put your Ipod or other MP3 device on shuffle and list the first 10 songs that it plays. Here's mine:

1. Run DMC-"King of Rock"
2. Susan Tedeschi-"True"
3.Warren Zevon-"Seminole Bingo"
4. John Hiatt-"Thing Called Love"
5. Cheap Trick-"Come on, Come on"
6. George Thorogood-"John Hardy"
7. Mazzy Star-"Before I Sleep"
8. Social Distortion-"Cold Feelings"
9. Foo Fighters-"Big Me"
10. Rose Tattoo-"Remedy"

Yeah I'm a big fan of both of your lists. I love the variation between classics (Cream is my favorite) and metal and country. Well played.

MCS your Foo Fighters/George Thorogood combo is also pretty solid. I'll have to give this a shot.
