If there were a sonic representation of the Chinese water torture, I'm certain it a would sound something like this whiney  performance.
I like  some of REM's offerings a lot, but this would also make an effective emetic.

I wish he'd stepped off that earthquake simulator before he'd started singing. That tremolo is seriously irritating. Mute and back after making a cuppa.

Shoot, Bill,  if you are going to present a 60's-70's era song featuring the words "Hurdy Gurdy," why not play "China Doll" by the Dead?

This blows...

Now how many songs can make a person want to do that?  Quite an accomplishment - especially just for recording some music 40-some-odd years ago.  Perhaps you should discuss this affliction with a mental health specialist...  If I had the ability to write songs that could make people want to slam their heads against walls I would go broke trying to keep up my supplies of pens, paper, and guitar strings.
