Thunder road - Springsteen (just childhood memories)

Murder in the red barn - Tom Waits

Bridge over troubled water - Simon and Garfunkel (this is probably my absolute favourite qua lyrics, music, timing, everything).
Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel

Excellent song and certainly better than BOTW.

I don't know about putting any of his stuff on such a list since he hasn't been at it too long, but Conor Oberst probably deserves mention.

That was another of the many songs H.W. Sr. wrote. Charley Pride did a great version of "Kawliga."

Cookie for you for good discernment of taste 🙂

I would also like to add The Rain Song (Led Zep) to my list, which I really should have remembered first time round (and which I can play too 🙂)

I love the sultans of swing. It's rare to catch that video but if you do watch his hands at the guitar solo in the end, it is breathtaking.
