from folk to rock the house of the rising sun was always an impressive piece but this animals version is worthy of a thread if not a forum to itself...

Classic. One of the first supposed folk-rock songs. I think it sounds more rhythm and blues though. Meh... close enough really.

great song, one of the best of all time if you ask me.

Astounding song.

I always thought this was one guy, who was really old as well. Nice song, not the greatest ever, not even top 20.

Nah dude who sings it has a hollow old man like voice though.
For the record I don't consider this the greatest song just the greatest crossover though this is certainly in my top 10.

ok have a search on you tube for 'Nina Gordon Straight outta compton'. Its so so so so so good

this song is a classic.

I know I heard this song somewhere like in a t.v. show or something. Damn I forgot:(
