581: Banjos, Banjos, Banjos!

Next to accordions, banjos run a close second as the most misunder-estimated instrument in popular music, but before you pick up a rock to drive that player of the snare drum guitar cross pollinated mutant into the next shire, take a listen to this countdown and I think you'll agree that they aren't quite as bad as their reputation carries. Don't throw stones until you listen to these countdown tunes:

10.  Bobby Banjo - The Clumsy Lovers

 9. All In The Name Of Love - John Hartford

 8. Hey Joe - Alvin Youngblood Hart, Guy Davis, Cassie Taylor

 7.  The Way It Goes - Otis Taylor and Keb' Mo'

 6.  The Boxer - Mumford and Sons

 5.  Long Walking - Beau Brummels

 4. Nowhere To Run - Pete Townsend and Ronnie Lane

 3. Wild Horses - Dave Grisman and Jerry Garcia

 2. Squeeze Box - Who

 1. Stop, Stop, Stop - The Hollies

Don't let Gramps get twisted until he hears this!
