KA-CHONK KA-CHONK!!! TAKE A LITTLE MUSIC SURVEY. After Pax's Beatles post a while back (and after that email survey Ms. Henri sent me), I thought I'd put a random group of musicians up here and ask which is your favourite song by each artist. After the name of each artist, I've put my favourite song by them and all you have to do is cut and paste, delete my choice, write in yours and leave your list as a comment.
