Dilemma #1

[-macphisto-]

You are introducing yourself to a complete stranger. You can only hand them a CD with up to 3 songs on it. You cannot communicate with the stranger in any other way. No words, no body language, nothing. Just the CD. Assume that the stranger is a generic person of sound mind, old enough to think abstractly, but otherwise undistinguished.

What songs would you put on the CD?

There is only one more rule....and it is to prompt faster responses:

If someone posts an answer before you get around to it, you cannot use any of the songs they pick...you must come up with original songs just for you.
