Forgot about that one.
We are extremely unlikely to hear any Doughty on this #xpncountdown but I enjoy his versions of "The Gambler" (my No. 13) and "King of Carrot Flowers."

I think it's extremely plausible that we're looking at the top 5 right there. But my money is still on Buckley, since it strikes me as more cross-generation than the others.

Seeing Scott and Grant laughing together simultaneously fills and breaks my heart.
