Songs that have stood the test of time.

Excellent songs: What Becomes... & God Only Knows

I've wondered why no country artist that I know of ever covered Don't Worry Baby. Its an early BB song but an indicator of greatness. 

Maybe its the currency of Glen Campbell but I've recently come to think of "Galveston" as a great song that evokes a place and period. Probably considered sappy or too pop for most.  Jimmy Webb could write a song.  

Hava Nagila of course. (We are, after all, talking about songs that have stood the test of time.) I have no idea what that song is about but I have danced to it many, many times. It's a mitzvah!?!

Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" is a great song and covered by many. But his "All Along The Watchtower"is more personal and subversive. Hendrix covered it best but there are many others....

I can't stream that song by Carla Bley. Isn't it some kind of anniversary for that song? BTW, I would be standing to listen to it. 

@martykl 

Todd Rundgren for sure!

Both great songs and DEFINITELY an artist I also considered. Can We  Still Be Friends or Hello It's Me. A song can be sappy and still be a great song. 

Thanks @czarivey 

I've added her to my listen queue. Seems like somebody I should get to know better. Thanks. 

Hey @thepigdog 

Found that song All Along The Watchtower on Tidal on the Nod To Bob compilation.

Another great version. Thinking it could've been on the The Departed soundtrack or inspired a Mumford & Sons version. Thanks for pointing me in yet another direction!

And, of course, Hallelujah. Why didn't I think of that? Great song no matter who covers it. 

Speaking of Dave Mason - it was his version of All Along The Watchtower that I remember hearing before I heard the Hendrix version -

how about "Feelin' Alright'? Great song.
