House Of The Rising Sun, The Animals
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m starting to think that we took a wrong turn with regard to popular culture at about, oh, 1968 or so. And I don’t mean the sex and the drugs; that’s fine. It’s just that people got so damned sloppy about things for a while.
If you liked that version, I think you might dig this one.

…YOU ARE CORRECT.
Is that link to the Andy Griffith cover?
There are very few rock(ish) songs before 1967 that I really like. This is one of them.
There’s plenty of fine music that came out post-68 (Exhibit A). It’s just that you mostly won’t find it if you go looking in the top 40 :-p
