These are the 10 songs Ken VanWinkle of Cape Girardeau wouldn't want to live without:

1. "Enter Sandman" -- Metallica

A timeless ballad of metal mayhem. The first album I ever had.

2. "Under The Bridge" -- Red Hot Chili Peppers

You can actually hear how lonely Anthony Kiedis is! I have felt like that before.

3. "Runaway Train" -- Soul Asylum

I like the lyrics, and it is hard to go back home sometimes.

4. "Lowrider" -- War

It's just cool. Great beat.

5. "Folsom Prison Blues" -- Johnny Cash

It's a classic!

6. "Yellow Submarine" -- The Beatles

I like it because it's catchy and fun.

7. "Friends In Low Places" -- Garth Brooks

It's raunchy and rude. I love it!

8. "Get Down With The Sickness" -- Disturbed

It is dark and disturbing yet truthful and very real about today's society.

9. "Jump Around" -- House Of Pain

Awesome party song, excellent beat.

10. "People Are Strange" -- The Doors

A strange song but insightful.
