I'm going out of town in the morning, so I've been hovering, waiting for my results. I just couldn't wait to see them.

:bow: To you all! I love my final 10, but more than that, I'm impressed by the love you've shown for some of the more off the wall songs. I know I gave you some listening to do. Thanks for indulging my country leanings too, I'm pleased those songs got some votes! (BA, are you a closet country fan? :D )

Anyway, thanks. Y'all now know more about who I am than a lot of people do in real life. :bow:

That's a nice-un, and good to see Graham Parsons in there!

I'm especially pleased with this one. I personally think this is the way Wild Horses was meant to sound. It's at least as good as The Stones .... I know, heresy! ;)

I almost forgot ... Thank you Ron. Both for your kind words & all your time & effort.

Ain't that the truth? Some of those songs really speak to us as to how we feel, who we are, what inspires/motivates us, what gets us through, etc.

I mainly like the classic Country sound (not so much into the new stuff), so I love it when some of those artists make it onto lists. I'm looking back at phil's list and there were some solid choices there :headphones:

I was actually thinking the same thing listening to this version (I like the Sundays cover too). Though it is an intrinsically great song, I don't really care for the original. Apart from the chorus, it just doesn't sound "right" to me.

The Burrito's version actually isn't a cover, it's the original release. Fan's of the artists' argue over who actually wrote the song, Keith & Mick or Gram & Keith. I don't get into that argument, but I do think Gram's country influence speaks for itself. ;) Like I said, the Burrito's version sounds as though the song was meant to sound that way. To me anyway.
