Okay, here's the scenario:

For some inexplicable reason, you find yourself packing for a road trip (last minute notice). Clothes, HBA, and requisite stuff packed, you have about an hour to download your all-time favorite songs for a 14 hour drive (round trip). Now, since that'd be about 280 songs to get, the exercise here won't go that far. So, the challenge is - what are the first 20 songs you pull down from your music library?

Rules
1. No Googling (honor system) - just scroll through your own iTunes or music folder that ​you own
2. Only one song per artist (yes, I know, The Eagles, Steve Miller Band, Queen and a plethora of others make that a real challenge...)
3. Only 5 songs per genre (so 4 genres required)
4. Only 5 songs per decade (so you need to be able to go back about 40 years...)

Honestly, I just Youtube all my music now. But let's see if I can rattle some off from memory...

Dark Star- Grateful Dead
Talking Heads- Road to Nowhere
Van Morrison- Astral Weeks
Steppes of Central Asia- Borodin
Birth of a Dream (Become As Gods)- Nier Automata Soundtrack
Money Tree- Kendrick Lamar
Norf Norf- Vince Staples
Age of Consent- New Order
None Shall Pass- Aesop Rock
Where I Wanna Be- Shade Sheist et al
Lizard- King Crimson
Your Kiss- By Hall and Oates but the Bird & Bee cover
John the Baptist- Niko Case
Never Been to Spain- Three Dog Night
Just a Friend- Biz Markie
Four Strong Winds- By Ian and Silvia but I'd do the Joni Mitchell version
Shimmy Shimmy Ya- Ol' Dirty Bastard
Story of the Kalender Prince- Rimsky-Korsakov
The Only Moment We're Alone- Explosions in the Sky
Dead Flowers- By the Stones but the Townes Van Zandt version
In Uthenera- Dragon Age Soundtrack

Phew! May have cheated because I didn't check there are only five each in one genre (but there are a few genres happening here, especially if you wanna count subgenres). And I think that's twenty-one. But whateva, I gotta get ready for work! :)
