I really never liked EBYT all that much, so I can go with just about any of those songs. Hell, I liked every song on Synchronicity better than EBYT except for Mother.

Hijack: Is Mother the worst song by a good band ever? Gee, I wonder why Sting wrote all the songs...

Johnny Cash:

X - Hurt, Folsom Prison Blues, Boy Named Sue
Y - Jackson, Sunday Morning Coming Down, Daddy Sang Bass

it's interesting that you say that. he actually wrote the bold songs, but all of the songs in Y are covers, with the original being a lot more well-known than cash's. Hurt is an outlier because it's most recent.

he did not write boy named sue.
