    No can do. I know Steinbeck is beloved by some, and I respect it, but to me reading him is like watching paint dry.

    Keep Nos. 1, 2, 4 and add the following:
    The Animals "House of the Rising Sun" Not sure who did the original, but it's been covered by dozens before and after them.
    The Byrds "Mr. Tambourine Man" (Bob Dylan) - I love Dylan's version, but the Byrds do it better
