Well, at least I Used to be a Country Singer is getting some votes. I love that and he gets bonus point for finding a song that no one would have picked up otherwise.

No such thing as a bad choice in there.

I think the fact that I'd heard a couple of versions of Me and Bobby McGee before Gord cut it may slant my thinking. it's good but might not make my top list. The first time I heard it was by Roger Miller.

Changes is up there but (he says ducking) no one did it better than Phil Ochs.
