The version by The Ataris is great, but I noticed one deviation from the original: one line of the Henley version reads "I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac"; The Ataris changed it to "I saw a Black Flag sticker on a Cadillac".

Not necessarily a bad thing, but an interesting change.

Edit: I forgot to mention Tears by Rush... another favorite melancholy tune.

You ask me for a hamburger.
