If you could choose your 10 all time favourite tracks to put on your own jukebox which would you choose?

I thought long and hard about this and my final list came down to what I would place on my own jukebox and knew I would select and spend my money on if I was in a place with a jukebox. Most of these choices make me want to dance or sing if I hear them, most of them are rocky and not so new, but they are what I enjoy.

Living On A Prayer – Bon Jovi
Born To Be Wild – Steppenwolf
Sweet Child Of Mine – Guns n Roses
Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen
Sex On Fire – Kings Of Leon
Pinball Wizard – The Who
With Or Without You – U2
Dance Away – Roxy Music
No Woman No Cry – Bob Marley
I Gotta Feeling – Black Eyed Peas

Do you agree with my list? What would you choose? Please leave your top ten list as a comment.
