Hillary's Choice Cuts contains songs that she told the New York Post were
some of her favorites, including the Beatles "Hey Jude", Aretha Franklin's
"Respect", the Eagles "Take It To The Limit", and U2's "Beautiful Day". "I've
got everything -- a total smorgasbord," Senator Clinton said, "I'm a child of
the '60s and '70s."
Barack Around The Clock contains music that embodies his cool jazz, Motown
roots. "I'm old school, so generally, I'm more of a jazz guy, a Miles Davis, a
John Coltrane guy, more of a Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder kind of guy," Obama
told New York City radio station Hot 97, "But having said that, I'm current
enough that I've got a little bit of Jay-Z, and a little Beyonce."
CEO of BlueBeat.com, Hank Risan, comments: "Of the leading Democratic
hopefuls, we can better relate to them not only as politicians, but personally
through their expressed musical tastes. Hillary and Barack have chosen songs
from artists that helped shape and change American culture. It's good to know
that our candidates are still listening."
