A few notes:
Yes, #5 is a parody. Take that, Dashboard Confessional!
#6 is perhaps the best re-recording of a song by an artist ever. Two lutes instead of the original version, which was muddied by over-arranging and poor instrumentation.
If you don't understand #11, you may be too young, or you just didn't watch nearly as many reruns growing up as I did.
#15's album, Mermaid Avenue, is a worthy purchase. Woody Guthrie songs that he never recorded. Brilliant stuff.
