| Title | Artist | notes | |
| 1. | Hard Time Killing Floor Blues | Chris Thomas | from the o' brother where art thou soundtrack |
| 2. | Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again | Bob Dylan | |
| 3. | Cumberland Blues | Grateful Dead | |
| 4. | Ambulance Blues | Neil Young | i prefer the anthology version |
| 5. | Yer Blues | The Beatles |
other great blues songs: 'dreams' by allman bros, 'tombstone blues' by dylan. 'old brown shoe' by harrison, 'revolution' (white album version) by the beatles would be super high on this list, except they're not really songs about the blues, but rather bluesy songs.

ever heard the original of #1? skip james is amazing. if this list was just blues songs, his 'devil got my woman' would be #1 on mine.

ah good catch. no, I was gonna put old brown shoe, but decided later that it wasn't really a song about the blues

I think your note on 4 was meant for 5...? Either way, solid list.

wow it is 'of'! that's wiggity wiggity wack! i feel like such a goon!

yeah the list could be totally different if it were blues songs.. even harder.. that's why i chose to do songs about the blues.. narrows it down a bit. and it's definitely "suck inside of mobile".. as in mobile alabama I'm assuming..?

sorry i didn't see this comment until now! and i apologize for the confusion. yes it is indeed just songs about blues. i mean if it were just blues songs... (at least to me) it would be impossible to pick a top five. so i decided to go with songs about the blues (having the blues). i had a hard time with songs that are titled "something something blues," for example "turtle blues" by big brother and the holding company or "ventilator blues" by the stones. it is titled that because it is about having the blues i guess.. but doesn't explicitly talk about having the blues. it's a fuzzy line. sorry!

so this list has to be songs about the blues? meaning it pretty much explicitly has to mention the blues? what about songs like 'old brown shoe' by george harrison, or 'revolution' by lennon? those are both fantastic blues songs, but they're just bluesy, not actual blues songs...
