Comment:

iTunes goes on a nationwide tour with our newest edition of the List: fifty songs, each with one of America's shining stars in the title. (Delaware? Check. West Virginia? Check.) The mix of artists is also impressive: Modest Mouse, Kings of Leon, and Sufjan Stevens show a little national pride, while Lynyrd Skynyrd, Johnny Cash, and Frank Sinatra add some seniority to the mix.
