Pick Your Favorite Song by a Group/Artist

Sonny and Cher - heard "Baby Don't Go" this morning on Sirius sat radio. It tis' my favorite by them:

This is very good but my favorite Sonny & Cher song is "All I Ever Need Is You".

Joe Ely - country outlaw troubadour of sorts - he's had several tunes I've really liked over the years:

Bo Diddley - wow - check all the kids in the audience. From about the 2:00 mark onward, that's Bo Diddley at his best:

And the Outlaws.



Songs like these got me through the dregs of the disco era.

“Green Grass and High Tides” was the best live performance I’ve ever seen.

Don’t recall seeing anything by Lou Christie who had several hits in the 60’s. Lightnin’ Strikes was probably his biggest hit reaching #1 in February 1966.

A couple from the folk/college coffee house music movement of the 50's and 60's that I am fond of.

And then there is this gem. A lot of people covered this song, but I particularly like this version.

Santa Catalina - 26 Miles - I was just there in March, still quite the nice little island.

Steve Goodman- gone far too soon, a gem of a singer/songwriter - this song got a lot of airplay in the 70's:

Bad to Me - Billy J Kramer & the Dakotas - written by John Lennon/Paul McCartney:

Thanks @Scud49. The thread you started has now been going for a month with 1156 posts. A lot of good music here and I’ve enjoyed learning of some artists I wasn’t that familiar with.
We’ve included most of the British Invasion. Here’s a fun group that was part of the early wave of the British Invasion and had a couple of big hits here.

Then there is this modern young lady who does it so well:



Though I gotta say I'd rather have an artist's voice, true, without the studio boost everyone these days seems to get.

The Christian Adele.

Thanks Banta, I think it's been great for all of us to re-discover, or as you said, newly discover material we may not have been familiar with. You mentioned the Brits Invasion - I don't think I have seen any from the Dave Clark Five - they certainly were part of it. I always liked "Try Too Hard" from them about as much as any tune they put out:

Stanley Clarke, one of his instrumentals really does it for me - "Quiet Afternoon:"

Stanley Clarke was one of the talented musicians in the jazz/fusion band Return to Forever, which was founded by Chick Corea.

Return To Forever – The Romantic Warrior

 

[Cedar]

Stanley Jordan – The Lady In My Life

 

[Cedar]

Spirit – I Got A Line On You

Some great Traffic songs have been posted, but I haven’t seen this classic yet.

Traffic – The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys

 

[Cedar]

Kiss – Rock and Roll All Nite

 

[KennyD]

 

[Scud49]

This one is probably 35 or so years old now - one very relaxing and beautiful tune by a group called Martha and the Muffins, "Garden in the Sky":

 

[bantamlaker]

Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty was posted by @Slipperman. If you like Rafferty you know his other big solo hit was Right Down the Line but did you know before his solo career he had a hit in 1972 as part of Stealers Wheel ? I didn’t until I just looked for some other songs by him.

 

[Scud49]

Not sure if we have posted any fav's by the Kinks - so here's one I've really liked by them, "No More Looking Back", an ode to a long gone lover, who is still hanging around in your mind:

My favorite Carol King recording.
