I was over at The Heretik, preparing my selections for President Bush's iPod, when I realized I had entirely too many (some of them may be more appropriate for America's iPod, but hey, L'etat, c'est lui). So I will post the complete list here, and attempt to whittle down to a Top Ten for there and Agitprop's Presidential iPod Commission.
This is still not an absolutely complete list - some people already picked some of my selections, and some of them were perhaps too obscure to recognize - but it's pretty close. Here it is, in all its tedious alphabetical glory (I so totally suck at editing...):

Conratlutions. You are now a member of the President's iPOD Commission. Our Mission Statement is iPod, Therefore I Am TM
You have also just received A Special Invitation!
Thank you!
You can make a difference!
Wonderful! I love them all, but Jethro Tull's "Thick as a Brick", is a definite selection for his iPod.
Woohoo!!!
Hey, when do I get to do some grandstanding?
I loves me some grandstanding.
Agitprop would like to thank you for your noble service in the Presidential iPod Commission. Your valiant efforts have earned you a spot in the Rebel Alliance. What do you say we email President Bush our suggestions?
Changing the world, one iPod at a time
You forgot XTC's President Kill.... unless someone else noted it. I'll have to follow that link.
According to the Guardian, Bush has The Knack but no Big Star or Shoes on his iPod. Typical.
Blogwhoring makes me feel so dirty.... and it's making me thirsty.
Nothing's worse than an unsuccessful blogwhore. Try this: www.powerpop.blogspot.com
