Pick Your Favorite Song by a Group/Artist

[Bigboote]

Wow, y'all have some good taste. I have a few alternative offerings from some folks who have been mentioned. Carly Simon, still from No Secrets (a great straight pop album):

 

[Bigboote]

Here's one from the Doors, from possibly the least-good album with Jim, but I think their best song:

 

[Kaizen]

Really liked her “Hejira”and “Hissing of Summer Lawns” albums.

Stevie Wonder is a toughie -- some good songs have already been posted. Superstition absolutely gets my wife's vote. I love that one, Living for the City, and a couple from Music of My Mind : Love Having You Around and Superwoman. But I'll pick something more on the obscure side, off Where I'm Coming From, just before he had full creative control. It still has strings and stuff, but is topical and he wrote all of the material. This one is a heartbreaker:

This is another topical song, from Steppenwolf. As with many of theirs, really clever lyrics.

Emmylou....oh yes:

 

[Kaizen]

 

[Scud49]

Tom Waits......."So we rode and we talked the better part of the night..."
Love this song, it really touches me:

 

[Scud49]

Soft, subtle, tender and beautiful - Stevie Wonder's - "You Got it Bad Girl"

 

[Kaizen]

 

[DefenseBB]

This is the song you wanted to dance to in HS 10 min with the lights down low

 

[Scud49]

Traffic - Steve Winwood & company: "40,000 Headmen" still one mysterious and beautiful song, almost 50 years on now:

Renaissance's "A Trip to the Fair". When Annie Haslam's voice comes in around the 3:30 mark its all over for me:

[Kaizen]

One of the best love song ...

 

[Bama fan]

I like Blue more than any other, but I just like Joni.

Speaking of George Harrison and the Beatles, there are so many songs of theirs I love, and this one is way up there:

It took over 160 posts before the first song by the Beatles or one of the individuals in the group. Maybe as Scud said there are just so many great songs that it is hard to pick one. It was late 1963 shortly after the Kennedy assassination when I first heard this. It cheered me up then and still brings a smile to my face whenever I hear it. I’m sure a few of you can still name the 5 songs that they sang on their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show.
(All My Loving, Till There Was You, I Saw Her Standing There, She Loves You and I Want to Hold Your Hand).

I like Simon but I love Garfunkel's voice.

Long, Long Time

Little girl with a BIG voice.

So young! The old Mike Douglas show in Philly.

My favorite Van Morrison song is "Into the Mystic"
