Okay - I'm all for sharing and learning, so give 10 (or less) songs that you think others may benefit from hearing and that are readily available for download (either through peer to peer programs or on specific websites). Then, after listening, if you feel compelled, give your praises or pans of other's recommendations. Mine are mostly plain rock and roll, so I apologize ahead of time...
