The top 10, and a strong list it is, IMHO:
1. "Earthquakes," Moxy Fruvous
2. "East Side Kids," Yipes!
3. "Easy People," The Nields
4. "Easy Wind," The Grateful Dead
5. "Echo," Joe Satriani
6. "Effigy," Uncle Tupelo
7. "Eight Years Old," Ben Lee
8. "El Matador," Los Fabulosos Cadillacs
9. "El Payande," Lhasa De Sela
10. "El Satanico Dr. Cadillac [version 93]," Los Fabulosos Cadillacs
Also eligible: "East Coast Anthem," Good Charlotte; "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo," Steely Dan; "East Wes," Eric Johnson; "Easy Livin'," Uriah Heep; "Easy Way Down," Snowpony; "Eat It," Weird Al Yankovic; "Eclipse," Pink Floyd; "Eddie's Coming Out Tonight," Night Ranger; "Eden Reprised," Sunkings; "Ein Zwei Drei Fuck You / Julia Child's 'All Along The Watchtower'," Pat McCurdy; "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik," Orpheus Chamber Orchestra; "El Aguijon," Los Fabulosos Cadillacs; "El Carnicero De Giles / Sueno," Los Fabulosos Cadillacs; "El Condor Pasa (If I Could)," Simon & Garfunkel; "El Crucero Del Amor," Los Fabulosos Cadillacs; "El Farol," Santana; "El Genio Del DUB," Los Fabulosos Cadillacs; "El Nino," Henry Rollins; "El President," Drugstore; "El Scorcho," Weezer; "Eleanor," The Turtles.
A special honorary runner-up to "Ein Zwei Drei Fuck You / Julia Child's 'All Along The Watchtower'." It's not the best of the rest -- that honor would probably go to Pink Floyd or somebody -- but it's pretty good, and you gotta adore that title.

"Earth Angel," Death Cab For Cutie
"Easy People," The Nields
"Easy to Be Around," Diane Cluck
"Ecoutez Bien!," Eux Autres*

*This is, as far as I know, the only song on earth that begins by cheerfully announcing "Pamplemousse edition!"
**I love the lyrics to this one:
I've got a slot at eye-level
Like a speakeasy door
And I know you know the password,
'Cause I've seen you here before
I've got something sweet for you,
And I don't care if it is more than you deserve--
I've got a lot of love and a lot of nerve,
So baby, watch me while I take this curve.
***Bluegrass cover! And it's a duet!

Fred, out of curiosity, are any of this week's selection the result of earlier recommendations? I remember recommending the Beatles and Midnight Oil earlier, fr'ex.
