Hour 2--Mystery Theme

Have a listen (when? why, at 9pm EST, of course) and see if you can figure out what these songs have in common. It can relate to title, or group, or subject matter, or the music itself...listen closely and contact me if you want to have a guess. (724-357-WIUP; or on AIM, keyword IUPRADIO, or mail me at mkloszewski@hotmail.com) I think it's fairly obvious, but then again, I came up with the theme...I shall reveal it at the bottom of the hour.
