I'm making a W.Y. CD. What songs MUST go on it?

[the truth]

There's what, about 5,000 songs to choose from? I've got some that I want to go on it, but what MUST be on it? So far....

With a Little Help - Joe Cocker (believe it or not, can't find it on the newsgroups)
Turn! Turn Turn! - The Byrds
For What It's Worth - Buffalo Springfield
When A Man Loves A Woman - Percy Sledge
For Sentimental Reasons - Nat King Cole
You're All I Need To Get By - Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell
Someday We'll Be Together - Supremes
Sunshine Of Your Love - Eric Clapton
You Are Everything - The Stylistics
We've Got Tonight - Bob Seger
You've Got A Friend - James Taylor

Help! What else "should" go on? And what else "could" go on?

Oh, I found the titles on various Wonder Years fansites. I believe I did a google search and found the sites. It's been so long, I don't really remember WHICH WY sites they were.

It must have taken you hours to get that list - and it looks like it goes mainly in order from first to last song. The first scene in the Pilot is always one of my favorites. First we get the theme song, then we get to hear the first monologue of the show with the song Turn!Turn!Turn in the background (one of my favorite songs, by The Byrds, by the way).

Sorry - I only saw that episode once and that was years ago! Part of the episode did take place at a carnival - I remember a Ferris Wheel and other rides.

The way technology is improving, we might be able to cram all of that music on one disc in the near future.

Or just stick it all onto an mp3 player.
