Unthinkable to even consider putting it there.

I'll have to go ahead and totally disagree with you here, Hey Ya is a great song! Just because it may currently be overplayed on the radio and TV doesn't mean it's not a pop masterpiece (excuse the oxymoron). A lot of people dismiss Outkast as just another toss-off rap group, but really it's quality music made by real musicians. Also there's a lot of blatent racism in the music industry still, especially regarding innovation. Hey Ya has a complex beat and those subtle keyboard scales, frankly it's an excellent song.
I don't feel "Lose Yourself" is at all as good as "Stan" in the full unedited version, but Stan relies perhaps too heavily on the Dido sample to be considered an original.
The list is so obviously weighted towards 60s and 70s material that anything contemporary is going to be welcomed by me.
