Ten Great Songs, One Great Name!
"I Want You" I think would be a possibility.

Do you mean ten different songs with the same title, or ten covers of the same song?
I know of only three songs that have "I Want You" in the title. I think ten covers of the same
song (Willie & The Hand Jive, Louie Louie, Johnny B. Goode?) would be a funny April Fool's set.

The general idea is ten different songs with the same title.
If there is a cover version that is significantly different than the original, I would consider it. An example of what would not be acceptable would be playing both the Wings and Semisonic versions of "Jet".
Lightnin' Rod:
One of my favorite song categories is songs about being a rock star, or, in the case of Eddie Money, wanting to be a rock star. They aren't usually great songs, but they do have a twisted authenticity to them -- after all, you should write about what you know.

A small selection of some of my ideas for fantasy 10@10 theme sets... not all of them have been
filled out with ten songs.
prog rock: ELP, Yes, Gentle Giant, (early) Genesis, King Crimson, Curved Air...
jazz fusion: Miles Davis, Weather Report, Jeff Beck, John McLaughlin, Billy Cobham, Chic Corea...
songs that prominently feature a particular instrument in the melody, bridge, solo, etc.
pop flute (easy)
pop oboe (moderately difficult)
pop french horn (hard)
goofy dance music: Walk Like An Egyptian, Rico Suave, I'm Too Sexy, Macarena, Mambo No. 5...
Gil Scott-Heron tribute: musician, poet, visionary
pot - Rita Marley's "One Draw"... I thought of good clip for this one, but then I forgot what it was...

I just compiled a set of ten songs in my head -- I'll probably have this done sometime tomorrow,
unless I come up with some other numbers to chose from. Wonder how this one will turn out...
"Ten great songs, one great instrument!" ;)
