Wichita Lineman / Fate of Man

Penned by Jimmy Webb specifically at Glen Campbell's request, this track is universally praised as the perfect synthesis of country storytelling and sophisticated orchestral pop. The lyrics detail the romantic isolation of a county worker, accompanied by a shivering, heavily tremolo-effected Fender Bass VI solo that mimics the sound of wind singing through telegraph wires. It is widely considered one of the greatest compositions in American popular music.
