>W.S Wolcott Medicine Show or The Weight for examples ?
Excellent examples, along with
Christmas Must Be Tonight,
The River Hymn,
When I Paint My Masterpiece, etc. etc. etc.
Not to mention, depending on your definition of Rock, we also have
Mr. Siegal and
On the Nickel (Tom Waits, as if you didn't know), and
Angel Eyes by the Jeff Healey Band (if you'll accept some blues leanings as a form of Rock).
And how about
Crying by Roy Orbison. Does that count as Rock?

>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>
Ok, I'll let you have that one, but I want to see the rest of them on the list. And if "I Am... I Said" doesn't make the list, I'll know the fix is in. ;)
