   The one that HAS to be on that list IMO:   
      
   44. From Small Things Big Things Come - Dave Edmunds (1980s?)   
      
   And a lot of blues songs (of course):   
      
   45. Louis Collins - Mississippi John Hurt (probably 1928 and 1966 or 1967)   
   46. Frankie and Johnny - various. I believe Mississippi John Hurt's version   
       is called Frankie and Albert.   
   47. Stagger Lee - various: Mississippi John Hurt, Taj Mahal (1969),   
       Lloyd Price, Dr. John (1972) etc. Aka Stack-O-Lee or the like.   
   48. C.C. Rider - various: Big Bill Broonzy (1930s?), Mississippi John Hurt,   
       Jerry Lee Lewis (1950s) etc. Aka See See Rider, Easy Rider Blues or the   
       like. Taj Mahal's version (1968) is called E Z Rider.
