Actually philipy, this was my non-transcendence challenged list...
Music is a tricky thing, everyone has their own tastes.
Ooops.... :)
Yes, there's not many things that absolutely everyone likes.
Yep... that list is "transcendence challenged". :)
The only thing on it that makes own my "essentials" list is Clapton's Wonderful Tonight.
Btw... I wasn't saying they were bad. Just not must-haves.
No worries! You can't always get what you want.. But if you try sometimes, you just might find you get what you need.
"You are so Beautiful" by Joe Crocker
"More than Words" by extreme
"Vincent" by Don McClean
"Killing me softly" by Roberta Flack
"The Boxer" by Simon and Garfunkle
"Desperado" by the Eagles
"What a wonderful World" by Ray Charles
"Papa was a rolling Stone" by the Temptations

No one will love every single thing on them, but I'm sure everyone will discover some magical songs, including some that had their heyday before they were even born.
There's too many great ones there to mention my favorites, but to pick a few at random....
Imagine, John Lennon
Stairway To Heaven, Led Zeppelin
For What It's Worth, Buffalo Springfield
You Can't Always Get What You Want, The Rolling Stones
Losing My Religion, R.E.M.
Lola, The Kinks
EDIT:
Oh, talking of Lola... there is a song which certainly should *not* be on every iPod in the world.
But it should be on yours... and on those of all other sci-fi loving geeks....
