[Kensterberg]

Johnny Cash - you won't believe this ... The Wanderer (with U2)

Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water (there's a reason why this one is an old war horse now)
The Undertones - Teenage Kicks
CCR - Fortunate Son (dammit Tunes, you've got too good of taste!) ... but Lodi is right behind it.
Tragically Hip - Courage (great R.E.M. imitation IMHO)
Leonard Cohen - Bird on a Wire
The Animals - We Gotta Get Out of this Place
The Pogues - honestly can't remember the names of any Pogues songs right now ... so I'll substitute:
Black 47 -- 40 Shades of Blue
Joni Mitchell - not a big fan, but I'll say Big Yellow Taxi just to have something to fill in the blank.
