B was the correct answer, here is where they used all the songs...
Exodus Honey - Aluminum iMac ad and the intro when you load OS X Leopard for the first time.
Perfect Timing (This Morning) - Used in all the iPhone ads.
and
Reach for the Sun - Used in the "Buy a VW Bug, get an iPod" ad

Current Standings.... I'll give 4 News Weather now another point for saying where Apple's 200th store was
beanboy89 - 5
Victor - 4
Stephen - 5
4 News Weather Now - 8
Gil - 3

Next Question:
Who was Apple's CEO before Steve Jobs?
A. John Sculley
B. Gil Amelio
C. Michael Spindler
D. Michael "Scotty" Scott

Bouns points if you can tell me where the CEO before Jobs worked before Apple.
