My Guantanamo Bay Playlist

Apparently, one of the ways that interrogators at Guantanamo Bay "didn't torture"detainees was by blasting (un)popular tunes into their cells.

Ever since I heard about this on the radio (I believe Wait Wait only mentioned Celine Dion,) I wondered what my personal playlist'o'torture would be. I've kept this list tucked in my mind's back pocket for at least two years and I think it's high time I make it more official.


I don't mean to offend those who do like any of these songs. I'm not implying that fans of these songs have poor taste, all I'm saying is that these are songs that, for whatever reason, are capable of driving me crazy.
