Diane Birch is today's guest blogger for AOL Radio, sharing her favorite songs, a gamut of '70s and '80s classics, among other decades. With a recent debut album, 2009's 'Bible Belt,' the singer-songwriter showed us she can tackle soulful blues, heartfelt gospel, Motown stompers and folk rock. The Joni Mitchell look-alike reveals a song list full self-reflection -- praising the piano melodies of Elton John, funk disco of Prince, and even a track by America's favorite fab four.
