Davy Crockett went out to Houston to fight in the Alamo Old Will Travis never told him Texas was in Mexico Was a bloody mess, you know the rest ...
Since you've insisted we name one and only one, I will NOT mention Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks. Nor will I invoke Bruce Cockburn's Dancing in the Dragon's Jaw. You shan't hear me refer to Vixy & Tony's Thirteen or the Police's Synchronicity or the Kennedys' Stand, nor will you hear anything about the Beatles' Rubber Soul from me, huh-uh. Because I Follow Directions.
