Top 10 Songs Glee Should Sing

There have been only about three episodes this season that I have truly loved and that's because the music and the storylines have worked well.  I'm of course talking about "Grilled Cheesus," "Duets," and "The Substitute."  Those three episodes worked for me because they showcased multiple characters, a lot of well-chosen music, and gave us consistency in character, unlike a few other episodes this season that shall remain nameless.  Despite my gripes, Tuesdays are always days I eagerly anticipate because I know between 8 and 9 I'll be happy.  Even on a bad day, Glee consistently makes me smile. 

However, what would make me even more happy is if Glee did songs of my choosing.  Here's a wish list of the songs I want the Gleeks to sing, and honestly, I'm surprised they haven't yet!  These are in no particular order: 

1.  "Blinded by the Light" by Manfred Mann

I see this as a group number, led by the boys and Will especially, but an interesting surprise would be a strong female vocal starting it up.   

2.  "Baba O'Riley" by The Who

How have they not done this song?  Seriously!

3.  "Seasons of Love" from Rent

Mercedes will kill the last note and I see this sending us into the holidays with a lot of heart.

4.  Anything by Coldplay

I'm picturing an angsty montage.  "Lost" would work.  So would "In My Place."  If we have a deeper voice, I would love to hear "Yes."   

5.  "Under Pressure" by David Bowie and Queen

Would have to be the group number at the end.  The whole gang would start the song like they started "Don't Stop Believing" with a little acapella action.    

6.  "Policy of Truth" by Depeche Mode

If they did this song, I can't imagine it being done without a serious modern update, but with lies spreading like wildfire in high school, I can't think of a more appropriate song.  Anyone remember when they used it in an old episode of 90210?  I just seriously dated myself...

7.  "Time of the Season" by The Zombies

Bonus points for combining the song with Melanie Fiona's single that samples it: "Give it to me Right."  If the mash-up happens, it has Mercedes' name written all over it.  If not, I see an amazing montage-y group number. 

8.  "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson

Someone sings, Mike Chang and Brittany S. Pierce dance.  Done and done.  I know they're doing "Thriller" for the Superbowl, but I'm greedy.

9.  "Creep" by Radiohead

I'm picturing an amazing solo by Artie for this one.  He does melancholy so well!


10.  Anything by The Smiths

Artie, Rachel, and Kurt perform an anthem for the lonely.
