There is, of course, no perfect song. Good thing, or there'd be no point in anyone writing any more.

Some of my favorites (long time and short):

Voices in the Hills (Dick McCormack)(If you never heard of it, lyrics were in the DT last I checked)

The Mary Ellen Carter (Stan Rogers)

Lock-Keeper (ditto)

Tonight We Ride (Tom Russell)

March of Cambreadth (Heather Alexander)

The Ballad of Charles Whitman (Kinky Friedman)(Possibly the song in the worst taste of any ever commercially recorded)

The Land (Kipling/Bellamy) (suggested subtitle: "A Concise History of English Real Estate Law")

Say Goodbye to Montana (Alex Harvey/Tim Rouillier)

But I have many more...
