  1. Muddy Waters; Baby Please Don’t Go.
    Finally l stumble upon the quiz at the right time (somewhere bear the start). I saw Muddy Waters play at Melbourne Uni, that would be about 50 years ago.

Muddy was one of many artists who covered this fine tune.

It’s a traditional blues song that was first recorded in 1935 by Big Joe Williams.

*bonus trivia: Muddy’s real name was the elegant sounding McKinley Morganfield .

I’m moderately sure that #12 is the most commercially successful song of the batch, and nobody’s got it yet…

I thought it was Lithium by Nirvana but I don’t think it is.

Edit. Actually I was looking at the wrong list. Ignore that.
