Another musical challenge

I recently wrote a blog about making mix tapes, for those who want to submit playlists (that is: a list of songs), feel free to do so in the comments.
The playlists should be about 10-15 songs, and a few suggested themes are below. Maybe we can have a listening party sometime soon?

Politics and the pulpit
You’d have your political and perhaps protest songs here, or if the political sphere is not for you could also consider songs which belong in the church.

The Sad Sad songs
Compile a list of your favourite depressing songs; or the sad songs which cheer you up.

When I’m Gone
The songs you would like played at your funeral.

Lyrical Dreaming
In this one, I’m thinking the songs that contain your favourite lyrics.

Fresh / Old Tiners
Make a list of your favourite new songs, (new purchases or discoveries) or the songs you don’t grow tired of (your old faithfuls).

Like yesterday
Music is often a trigger to help us recall our memories. Create a list of songs which remind you of memorable moments in your life.

Love!?
The eternal theme, use anything here, you favourite love-songs; break-up songs, songs of longing.

Guilty Pleasures and Hidden Treasures
Songs which are your guilty pleasure; (songs that “you shouldn’t like”, but do) and the songs which you consider the undervalued gems in your collection (the Hidden treasures).

I'll give you a chance to comment, then I'll post one of mine.
