I've just done the same thing. I really have to think about this. lol
Maybe the best way to choose is to pick the 5 we wouldn't mind being stranded on a desert island with; the ones we imagine might get us through something like that. Think survival. :lol:

And with that, I've just chosen 2 songs. Imma bust a vein trying to pick the other 3. :bugeyed

FYI:

Motown Celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the Sound That Changed America
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ Author : Universal Music Enterprises

As an irresistible force of social and cultural change, Berry Gordy's legendary Motown Records made its mark not just on the music industry, but society at large, with a sound that that has become one of the most significant musical accomplishments and stunning success stories of the 20th century.

Diana Ross & The Supremes, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, The Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5, Lionel Richie & The Commodores, The Marvelettes, Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, Gladys Knight & The Pips, their music communicated and brought together a racially divided country and segregated society, around the world, touching all people of all ages and race.

No other record company in history has exerted such an enormous influence on both the style and substance of popular music and culture. With more than 180 No. 1 hit songs worldwide and counting, that influence is still being felt today, from pop to hip-hop, Motown celebrates the 50th anniversary of the company's founding...

From late 2008 to the end of 2009, Universal Music Group and EMI Music Publishing will mark the historic Detroit label's musical achievements with a series of initiatives. Notably, Universal Music Enterprises will issue monthly music releases in both physical and digital formats, with bonus tracks enhancing these packages. Details will be announced as each new package approaches.

Also upcoming throughout the celebration are releases of classic Motown Television specials in a series of DVD collections and "INSIDE MOTOWN", a multi-part documentary on how the company was built.
