Wichita Lineman
Pick your poison
Favorites, I like the original, but the Sammy Davis version linked below is good, and of course Johnny Cash makes it his own in a way that none of the others could. Least favorites, Tom Jones is trying way too hard to ham it up, and Stipe isn't really doing anything at all with it, mostly just phoning in a copy of what Campbell was doing.
