3. Hank Williams, “A Mansion on the Hill”
4. Patton Oswalt, “Here We Go”

6. Wilco, “Heavy Metal Drummer” This clip, from the Wilco documentary, “I Am Trying to Break Your Heart,” highlights Jeff Tweedy at his best. There is a fine line between genius and impenetrable, and Tweedy occasionally crosses it. Not here, though.
7. The Who, “Eminence Front” Needless to say, my iPod has its Eighties flashbacks.
8. Faith No More, “Easy” I can say without reservation this might be the best Commodores cover ever. Granted, the competition is about that of a Russian election, but still …
