Songs I Wish Rappers Would Sample

If I had a LP solely based on Raps over samples of songs, I would sample the following songs. If you don't recognize any of theses songs, look them up on youtube because chances are you will love the original versions, which make a remix much more likely to be awesome:

1. Alone-Heart (just the chorus like Lil Wayne did with Heart's "You Forgot About Love")
2. Ride Like the Wind - Christopher Cross
3. Higher Love - Steve Winwood (I'd make a club/dance remix and sample that)
4. Right Now – Van Halen
5. Your Love – The Outfield
6. Drives Me Crazy- Fine Young Cannibals
7. Back in Black - AC/DC
8. Photograph – Def Leppard
9. Learning to Fly - Tom Petty
10. Good – Better Than Ezra
11. Simply the Best – Tina Turner
12. What's My Age Again - Blink 182
13. Always - Blink 182
14. Hard to Concentrate - RHCP
15. Float on – Modest Mouse
16. Space - Something Corporate
17. Scars - Papa Roach
18. Stay with You or Here is Gone - Goo Goo Dolls
19. Come Together – The Beatles (Just the guitar during the chorus)
