West Texas Highway
I was first introduced to this song by one of my favorite performers, Lyle Lovett. I can't find his version anywhere except on my ancient CD, but these "guys" are pretty good (in quotes because the acoustic base player is obviously female, but everybody is called "guys" these days, especially by wait staff in restaurants, and TV reporters. Tough for an old geezer like me to comprehend, but I try to keep an open mind).
Mark Knopfler : So Far From the Clyde
Mark is one of my all time favorite performers, and this obscure song is probably my favorite of his. It captures what makes him great. Take an obscure topic and create a great song with interesting lyrics. He's done this so often. Unfortunately, this video is somewhat bogus because it's from his "Brothers In Arms" video in Berlin a few years ago. But the video of the ship dismantling is accurate. I think the song is superb, and is Mark at his best.
One of the best bands. Ever.
In reply to David S. Wallens:
Thanks, David. Looks like a great band, especially to see live. And this is what I love about this thread. (It's my favorite thread on the entire forum). We can learn about new bands and new music that we ordinarily might not know about. (Old or new). I love music, and I keep saying this ... I've learned a lot here! Special thanks to Karl LaF and Toyman!

Five Eight is awesome, and I'm not just saying that since I know the guys. I have been a fan since freshman year of college--back when wishbone Hondas were brand-new. Check them out. Killer, honest rock. In fact, I just made plans to see them again.
Eric Burdon: When I Was Young
He's approximately my age ( but I look better 
), and his parents experienced WWII in the UK, which was pretty horrifying, and that, therefore, influenced his youth, no doubt. Hence the theme of this video. But regardless, his music was genius in the sixties, probably more so than the Beatles or the Stones.

When did Rob Zombie start trying to channel Les Claypool?
I haven't really heard any of his music since... uh... Hellbilly Deluxe.
And now I'm going to have Demonoid Phemonenon stuck in my mind. Thanks.
(no, really, thanks! that one rocks)

I would have to second this Gary. A majority of the music I listen to now came from this forum!

Townes Van Zandt: Pancho and Lefty
This classic has been covered by many great artists, but the late, great Townes Van Zandt wrote it. In this live version he's accompanied by the late, great Guy Clark on six string. This is my favorite version of this great song.
I was just listening to this while mowing the yard, until the mower broke.
