Does it matter which presidential candidate's musical tastes align most closely with yours? If so, surely you saw this Blender article outlining the Top 10 favorite songs of Barack Obama and John McCain.

McCain's favorite song in the world is ABBA's "Dancing Queen," making me think the magazine had inadvertently phoned the office of Sen. Larry Craig. Nonetheless, I likes me some ABBA, so I won't give him any crap.

Barack's favorite was the Fugees' "Ready or Not," which brings into questions his musical tastes, period. Not a fan of that song, and I much preferred Lauryn Hill solo, such as her take on the song "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You."

Among the surprises in the Top 10 were how eclectic Barack's choices were, clearly trying to position himself as the musical progressive. To me, that's not a surprise. It's almost calculated.

Nevertheless, McCain's taste is better.

His No. 2 is Roy Orbison's "Blue Bayou," and his No. 4 is Merle Haggard's "If We Make It Through December," which is a brilliant song. Seriously, this is one of the great American songs of the past 50 years.

Barack's list features some Nina Simone, which is excellent, and some Rolling Stones, which is always a solid choice. However, my favorite song on his list is from Kanye West, "Touch The Sky."

In all, Barack's list is a tad "cooler," but McCain's list is surprisingly quality and classic. Edge goes to the senator from Arizona.
