W.S Wolcott Medicine Show or The Weight for examples ?
Thanks for adding Santana.
I have to speak up for Little Feat picking "Dixie Chicken" almost at random.
Anybody who partied Bangkok, Saigon or Vientiene in the early 70s has too many memories associated with Cracklin' Rosie to let that Neil Diamond song be on the 10 worst. It's a combination of Proust's cookie crumbs and Pavlov's bell <g>

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
