1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: ''Knives of Summertime'', ''Sick of Goodbyes'', ''King of Nails'', ''Rainmaker''... the list goes on.
2* CoveredUp: Notable in that ''two original versions'' exist from the same time frame: Cracker released their version of "Sick of Goodbyes" (co-written by Linkous and Cracker leader David Lowery) around the same time it appeared on Sparklehorse's ''Good Morning Spider'' album. The two versions are roughly the same in popularity.
3* HarsherInHindsight: His cover of Music/GlenCampbell's "Galveston" features the lyrics "Galveston, oh Galveston, I am so afraid of dying/Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun..."
4** And then there's "Pig". "I wanna try and die, I wanna try and die..."
5* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Gold Day.
6* TearJerker: Mark's death. Song-wise, "Sad and Beautiful World" definitely counts.
7** "Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain" will never fail to bring a tear to your eye.
