Though it may not get as much buzz as other radio shows, "Imus In The Morning" has been successful for years and in that time the host has always made music an important piece of the program.

Imus has never been shy about sharing who his favorite performers are, having many of them on, and playing their songs liberally.

Over the years, however, the host has also asked a number of his famous guests to name their favorite five songs, which he shares on his website.

The list is extensive and includes everything from politicians, to fellow talk show hosts and media personalities. Here are a few examples:

Comedian Bill Engvall listed his five favorites as:

"Tiny Dancer," by Elton John
"Don't Fear the Reaper," by Blue Oyster Cult
"Suite Madame Bleu," by Styx
"Celebrate," by Rare Earth
"The Weight," by The Band

Barbara Walters shared hers:

"I Won't Send Roses," by Mack & Mabel
"We Need a Little Christmas," by Mame
"This Nearly was Mine," by South Pacific
"Let's Go Fly a Kite," by Mary Poppins
"Some Enchanted Evening," by South Pacific

And, perhaps most surprisingly, Donald Trump actually showed some guts with his:

"Eleanor Rigby," by the Beatles
"Crazy," by Gnarls Barkley
"Paparazzi," by Lady Gaga
"Money, Money," by the O'Jays
"Rock n Roll," by Neil Young
