Excellent list.
As for someone's comment about judging Big Yellow Taxi from a 30 second snippet, that's really all you need to discern whether a song is good or not.

That one was pretty good, but nothing moves me like the Clapton/McCartney version from Concert for George.

I agree that Clapton did a great job on this one, but GNR's version just seemed somehow more memorable. Maybe it's just because I grew up with GNR. My mom used to be a big fan.
On another note, Warren Zevon did perhaps the most poignant version of this song for his final album, The Wind.
