I'm gonna have to get back to you. I'll probably post my list in an edit.
If I seem to act unkind, it's only me, it's not my mind that is confusing things.

I remember – two days after my brother’s birthday, I was at this great record shop in Ottawa with my mom and him. And the day earlier, I had seen the MTV Unplugged CD in those “Used Blow-out” bins (you can always find something in those things), and then when he was there I showed him the CD. He flips for it, because (unbeknown to me at the time) this show is like great. So, fast forward a week. I’m struck cleaning up with my mom (boo at cleaning, yay to being with my mom), she played the CD. With this song, I knew it, but I didn’t know why. My mom isn’t a big Bowie fan, so I haven’t a clue why. Just one of those things that music inspires. (Still haven’t figured out why I know the song, though. I think I’m still partial to Come As You Are.)
Edit: I'm watching that Californiacation video – so stupid.

2. Fashion- David Bowie
3. Moves Like Jagger- Maroon 5
4. You've Got a Friend- James Taylor

7. Jungleland- Bruce Springsteen
8. Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying- Gerry and the Pacemakers
9. People are Strange- The Doors

19. Heartbreak Warfair- John Mayer

25. An American in Paris- George Gershwin
A lot of songs are left off there because I tried to give each artist about one song. And it changes a lot too.

Yeah Love For A Child is a really sad song, I do love a bit of Jason Mraz.
