It's like Craigslist Hunt for music.

Task : Find a song that tells an interesting story as long as it's NOT a love story.

My pick is Gordon Lightfoot's 1976 hit, "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald." Lightfoot's epic recounts the the sinking of the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! on Lake Superior in November 1975. 29 people died the night that the ship ran into an unforeseen storm.

The Devil Went Down To Georgia? Also, there are no music videos for this song that are decent on YouTube.

As well, mad props for your choice.
