WASHINGTON - Barack Obama and John McCain agree on Frank Sinatra.

The two presidential candidates offered widely different top 10 favorite songs to Blender magazine but shared the same appreciation for Ol' Blue Eyes. Obama chose "You'd Be So Easy to Love," while McCain liked "I've Got You Under My Skin."

In the September issue, on sale nationwide Tuesday, the candidates delivered their list.

McCain prefers ABBA's disco classic "Dancing Queen." Obama favors the hip-hop jam "Ready or Not" by the Fugees.

1. Before the partisan ABBA hate-fest starts... they are both reasonable lists

McCain's is a little older, of course. And both have some lame songs by good artists.

But let's please not start an ABBA bash just because of something McCain said.

I assure you that most ABBA fans are Democrats.

(Does McCain know their gay-appeal is on par with The Village People? Actually, I'd have expected IN THE NAVY to make his list.)

2. For once I agree with McCain

3. His list isn't too shabby, is it? Sachmo, Orbison, the Hag... nt
