| 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.

| Title | Artist | notes | |
| 1. | I Got The Blues | The Rolling Stones | one of my all time fav songs |
| 2. | Yer Blues | The Beatles | i'm lonelyyyy.. wanna die |
| 3. | Love In Vain | Robert Johnson | another all time fav. one of the best love songs ever. stones did a great version too...the blue light was my blues, the red light was my mind. |
| 4. | Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again | Bob Dylan | there are too many dylan songs to choose from for this list |
| 5. | High Flyin Bird | Jefferson Airplane | got those sit down, can't cry, oh lord i'm gonna die blues - not the original but i love it |
others would include many songs by dylan, and almost the entire repertoire of muddy waters and robert johnson

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...
