a question

Here's a pop music question for you all. Don't think too much about it; just give the first answer that comes to mind. Results and the reason for the question to follow when I have enough data. Feel free to point your friends to this; I'd like to get as many answers as possible. UPDATE 10/18 9:00pm PDT -- voting is now closed. You can cast a vote if you're curious to see the answers, but it won't be counted in my statistical analysis.

And my superiors wonder why I feel the need to get rid of at least two thirds of the collection?
