The RIAA’s $220,000 Playlist: Just As Crappy As You Might Expect

One of our commenters asked about the songs that the major labels focused on in their successful lawsuit against Jammie Thomas; we found it (courtesy of Threat Level) and it’s reprinted after the jump. Behold, the songs that you may want to take out of your shared-music folder pronto:

• Guns N’ Roses: “Welcome to the Jungle”; “November Rain” • Vanessa Williams: “Save the Best for Last” • Janet Jackson: “Let’s Wait Awhile” • Gloria Estefan: “Here We Are”; “Coming Out of the Dark”; “Rhythm is Gonna Get You” • Goo Goo Dolls: “Iris” • Journey: “Faithfully”; “Don’t Stop Believin'” • Sarah McLachlan: “Possession”; “Building a Mystery” • Aerosmith: “Cryin'” • Linkin Park: “One Step Closer” • Def Leppard: “Pour Some Sugar on Me” • Reba McEntire: “One Honest Heart” • Bryan Adams: “Somebody” • No Doubt: “Bathwater”; “Hella Good”; “Different People” • Sheryl Crow: “Run Baby Run” • Richard Marx: “Now and Forever” • Destiny’s Child: “Bills, Bills, Bills” • Green Day: “Basket Case”

Note the inclusion of “Bills, Bills, Bills” on that list. Someone on the majors’ legal team has quite the sense of humor!
