Pick Your Favorite Song by a Group/Artist

[Beemer]

The singer Dave Loggins is the man from Tennessee and she said come home - she's his number 1 fan. It's autobiographical.

Ah, now I get it! Thanks

 

[Beemer]

Carly has so many, but I pick this one

My favorite Carly Simon tune. "You're So Vain" isn't bad either!

 

[Kaizen]

My favorite Carly Simon tune. "You're So Vain" isn't bad either!

My favorite too ...

Joni Mitchell, Jaco Pastorius, and a young Pat Metheny on tour in 1979 - the song is "Coyote" probably my all time fav Joni tune:

 

[RockyMTblue2]

It's totally commercial but I love it:



And this version get's you to the heart of the matter: Carly Simon - Let the River Run (Live On The Queen Mary 2)

 

[Scud49]

Michael Franks - "It's Just Like Key Largo, Melvin Douglas and Garbo, Bogey and Lauren BaCall."
Pure class, pops, crackles, and all:

 

[Bama fan]

Almost as good as Linda's cover

 

[Scud49]

Joe Jackson - loved how he paid tribute to Glenn Miller's "Tuxedo Junction".
This one wins it as far as being my favorite Joe J. song:

 

[Scud49]

Mary Wells - MoTown's first superstar - and I always turned the volume up big time when this one came on:

 

[RockyMTblue2]

This guy sings so much fine fine fine. But this is his roots song: James Taylor Carolina In My Mind



The younger guy: James Taylor - "Carolina in My Mind "

This one by Peter, Paul, and Mary is seldom heard ,but very haunting and evocative.

Love the “Wedding Song”.

Joni Mitchell, Jaco Pastorius, and a young Pat Metheny on tour in 1979 - the song is "Coyote" probably my all time fav Joni tune:

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

 

[Scud49]

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

Yea, you bet - loved Hissing of Summer Lawns, Refuge of the Roads, All I Want, California, Car on a Hill, Help Me etc - so many...it was mighty tough to pick one.

Need some more early R&R. Buddy Holly had many good songs in such a short time. Who knows what he might have accomplished if he hadn’t died in that plane crash at age 22.

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:

 

[Kaizen]

 

[Bigboote]

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

 

[Scud49]

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:
