The Weight Report Abuse
One of Rock's greatest songs. Is it Biblical? Either way, "take a load off, Fanny." Hudson's best organ work this side of "Like a Rolling Stone."

The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down Report Abuse
Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na! The horn section clinches the song. Frist person narrative song writing at its best.

Ophelia Report Abuse
where have you gone? Robertson's best song. Helm's best vocal. And Robertson's best guitar solo on "The Last Waltz."

This song captures the emotion of the band like no other. Ragtime Willie is a folk hero.

It Makes No Difference Report Abuse
Rick Dankos' best turn. Haunting lyrics that are some of Robertson's best.
