so many great songs, not really one best for me, but i ll mention a few i love and come to mind,
gentle on my mind (i like the elvis, and waylon jennings version)
carmelita by warren zevon (carmelita hold me tighter, i think i am sinking down, and i am all strung out on heroin on the outskirts of town.)
whisky in the jar by thin lizzie
memory motel, always loved that minor stones tune.
wild is the wind, lilac wine, great versions by nina simone.
a lot of dylan songs, senor, i shall be released, ALL OF DESIRE (sarah, romance in durango, one more cup of coffee (awesome song, your mouth is sweet, your eye are like to jewels in the sky, your back is straight your hair is smooth on the pillow where you lie, one more cup of coffee fore i go to the valley bellow), a minor gem, you are gonna make me lonesome when you go.
Hallelujah by leonard cohen.
ALL OF ASTRAL WEEKS by van morrison, esp. way young lovers do and madame george.
stars fell on alabama, billie holiday.
i must have been blind, tim buckley.
i 'm not like everybody else, kinks.
springsteen, atlantic city, fire.
plenty, plenty more.
Also, radar love, what a great song, one of the first tunes i ever heard that really made an impression on me, and dock of the bay is such a great, smooth, cool song.
