Creedence Clearwater Revival - Before You Accuse Me: One of my least favorite track on the album (not an insult, given the competition), but it still trumps the Hill song.

Beastie Boys - Rhymin' and Stealin': Beastie Boys get my vote, despite having what might be the most overused sample in hip hop.

Bruce Springsteen - Johnny 99: "Man in a Shed" is one of my least favorites from Nick Drake, while "Johnny 99" is one of the few songs on Nebraska that I can really get into.

Arctic Monkeys - Perhaps Vampires is a Bit Strong But...: Neither song is a real standout, but I love the overall sound of Whatever People Say I Am, and this song captures that sound very well.

Gram Parsons - In My Hour of Darkness: I prefer the Bee Gee version of "More Than a Woman", but Parsons' haunting cry for help would have trumped that version as well.

Pink Floyd - Goodbye Blue Sky: It pains me to reward The Wall, but of the two songs this one is more intersting

The Beatles - Any Time At All: A great song by the Beatles

Bjork - Like Someone in Love: New York Dolls can't hold a candle to Bjork

Goodbye Blue Sky sounds a bit like Ruby Tuesday IMO.
I feel like that
