None of them are that famous to be honest.

Tears for Fears' Shout is properly famous, surely.

Yeah I was just kidding man.  Grace Jones is very famous too IMO.

Johnny Cash. Hurt

The vocal performance was phenomenal but they missed out they key interval in the verse parts that makes the song what it is. Could have been a masterpiece but just narrowly missed due to over simplifying the guitar part imho.

Good shout. I forgot that one.

One of his lesser known tracks, but it's quality and has some rather impressive Trumpeting.

Not the Girl is definitely my favourite, and by a long way. Can't think of a single thing that could make it better.

Plus why no one say Hotel California yet?

Oh, I know: because it is deeply dull.

I strongly disagree, but how about this?  Within the next 24 hours you give us just one reason why it isn't a masterpiece.  If you manage to post just a single reason, I won't ask you to justify it but I will make you right.  However if you don't post anything I will take that as your acceptance that Hotel California is in fact great!  READY, STEADY, GO...

^ Wow. Still having a go, eh?
