Just listened to the Dolly Parton version. Amazing! How did you find that? Mick, I was going to post the Led Zeppelin version, but when I went to youtube Dolly's version popped up in the search. Incredible, isn't it?

When I found the Dolly version, I was listening to a 1973 performance and Robert Plant was irritating me hugely with his posturing and dirge-like delivery. 2. The Devil Went Down to Georgia -- The Charlie Daniels Band

Geeeez ~ I had wiped that song from my consciousness! It's in the running for dreariest Beatles song, right up there with Love Me Do Can't agree with you there Mrs Orellana. Mind you, they didn't write it and George had lead vocal which may have contributed to your disappointment. However, for me, it reminds me of being a 15 year old at parties with girls and that's a good enough reason.. Love Me Do might not even be in my top 20 Beatles songs but still has a special place. When it came out it was totally different to everything else that had been in the charts for years and I loved the little harmonica riff that seemed so original and unusual at the time. Of course eventually it was superceded by numerous songs but still has it's place. So there.

As I understand it from the rules of this game you can have 8 songs connected in some way or 8 songs by one artist so for a change let's do the latter. 8 songs by Ry Cooder.
