One of the fun things about working for Diffuser is the opportunity to tailor my pretty broad musical tastes to fit their slightly narrower editorial sensibilities. There are lots of great songs for a “Mother” playlist, but picking the ones that were right for Diffuser? Therein lies the fun.

In no particular order, here are 10 tasty “mother” cuts that would’ve worked great for some other list. Feel free to add your own in the comments, and don’t forget to check out my Mother’s Day playlist on Diffuser.

1. “Mama I’m Coming Home,” Ozzy Osbourne
2. “Mother,” Pink Floyd
3. “Mother,” Danzig
4. “Mother Popcorn,” James Brown
5. “Tie Your Mother Down,” Queen
6. “Every Mother’s Son,” Lynyrd Skynyrd
7. “For a Thousand Mothers,” Jethro Tull
8. “Some Mother’s Son,” The Kinks
9. “Have You Seen Your Mother Baby?” The Rolling Stones
10. “Music For My Mother,” Funkadelic
