Weekend Rock List: Ghost Songs

10/30/09, 4:50 pm EST

In what we hope will by law become a Halloween tradition, Jimmy Kimmel Live somehow managed to convince Ghostface Killah to tell a ghost story on television last night. The story itself wasn’t that horrifying, but as a tribute to Tony Starks and all those kids trick or treating on October 31st wearing a white linen bed sheet with the eyeholes cut out as a costume, this spooky weekend’s Rock List is dedicated to Ghost Songs. Tell us which tracks make you say “Boo!” the loudest, and on Monday we’ll count up the favorites. Until then, here’s just a handful of ghoulish songs we found on our iPod to get you in the Halloween mood:

• Bruce Springsteen – “Ghost of Tom Joad”
• Tegan and Sara – “Walking With a Ghost”
• Suicide – “Ghost Rider”
• Ghostface Killah – “Ghost Deini”
• Neutral Milk Hotel – “Ghost”

Plus, see spooky shots of rockers in their best Halloween costumes.
