The president has one. So does Mitt Romney. Last we checked on iTunes, so does Dale Earnhart Jr., Bill Maher, Jackie Chan and “Weird Al” Yankovic. We’re talking playlists, and, if you’re like us, whittling your list of all-time favorite songs down to 10 is more difficult than deciphering a conversation between Ozzy Osbourne and Gary Busey.
Now that our edit team has finalized its lists, we’re turning the turntables on our readers. Roll through your albums and iPods and share your all-time playlist with Boca Raton. Here’s some top 10s to get you started.
