Music is life. The songs and artists that we listen to both define us and are defined by us. Since we're music fans and playlist maniacs here at imeem, we think the same holds true for our presidential candidates, Barack Obama and John McCain.

So what did we do? We scoured the Interwebs to research each candidate's music taste. After finding interviews and articles from venerable magazines like Rolling Stone and Blender, we pieced together Obama and McCain's top 10 favorite songs as told by the candidates themselves!

What can you do with my favorite prez candidate's playlist? We thought it would be fun to put each candidate's list of top 10 songs into an imeem playlist that you can not only listen to it as much as you want, but also share the playlist with friends in the imeem community and post it as a playlist widget in your favorite social network such as facebook, myspace, friendster, or Hi5. You can blog it. You can twitter it. Play it loud so people can hear it outside your window on the street.

So let everyone know if you think Obama or McCain has the best playlist as the election draws near, and help decide which candidate will rock the nation...
