[f.Christian]

On my short list ...

Emotions --- Barry Gibb.

It´s over and done,
but the heartache lives on inside (yeah yeah)
and who is the one you´re clinging to,
instead of me tonight.

BRIDGE

And where are you now,
now that I need you,
tears on my pillow,
where ever you go go,
I´ll cry me a river
that´s leads to your ocean
you´ll never see me fall apart

CHORUS

In the words of a broken heart
it´s just emotions, taking me over,
caught up in a sorrow, lost in the song,
but if you don´t come back,
come home to me darling,
don´t you know there´s nobody
left in this world to hold me tight,
there´s nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight,
goodnight (4)

I´m there, at your side,
a part of all the things you are,
but you have a part of someone else,
you gotta go find your shinning star.

In the words of a broken heart
it´s just emotions, taking me over,
caught up in a sorrow, lost in the song,
but if you don´t come back,
come home to me darling,
don´t you know there´s nobody
left in this world to hold me tight,
there´s nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight,
goodnight

[KansasCanadian]

I see a general theme there....

[Lijahsbubbe]

Mine are so cliche', but here goes.

I Left My Heart in San Francisco. Tony Bennett

Everybody Love Somebody Sometime. Dean Martin

Summer Wind. Frank Sinatra

To Sir With Love. Lu Lu

These songs remind me of a time when grown ups wore pants and dresses. When adult conversations were mysterious and you had to sneak around to eavesdrop. When there was a distinction between adults and children.

I know, I know, it was far from a perfect era, but these songs bring back those images.

[AWCreamSoda]

wayyyy too easy - No satisfaction by The Rolling Stones is THE number one song of all time, hands down.

[freedumb2003]

GFR: "Closer to Home"
Spanky and our gang: "Lazy Day"
Dire Straits: "Brothers in Arms"

CF: Thanks for the ping

[habs4ever]

It woulld be a gross injustice if Right Said Fred's epic "I'm Too Sexy" is excluded...along with "Disco Duck" ;-)

[sell_propaganda]

Stairway to Heaven
Freebird
Green Grass and High Tides
Won't Get Fooled Again
Hey Jude

No wait, that's the 1977 list.

[csmusaret]

You've Lost that Lovin Feeling.

[sweetliberty]

Spirit In the Sky - Norman Greenbaum (?)
Old Time Rock and Roll - Bob Segar
Wipe Out - (was it the Safaris?)
Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman? - Bryan Adams
God Bless the USA - Lee Greenwood
Devil Went Down To Georgia - Charlie Daniels Band

There are so many, but those are a few that immediately popped into my head.

[sauropod]

I'm a guitar player. Hendrix was the greatest guitar player of all time. Whaddya expect? ;-)

[AMDG]

Van Morrison - 'Jackie Wilson Said'

[bannie]

The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy - Andrew Sisters
Beach Boys
Mama, He's Crazy by ?
Don't it Make My Brown Eyes Blue by Crystal Gayle
(almost) ANYTHING by Dr. Hook
I Talked to the Man in the Moon by Twitty

...Where to end???

[Mike Darancette]

Suzanne - Cohen.
Tambourine Man
Michelle - Beatals

[MeekOneGOP]

A little different, but how 'bout...

Oh Danny Boy...Jim Reeves

[RecentConvert]

This is not fair since there are way too many songs that I love.

Off the top of my mind:

Amazing Grace
The Love Song (title could be wrong)

[tomkat]

Layla - Derek and the Dominos

[newgeezer]

Whatever the Number 1 song is, they don't play it 6 times a day on the local "classic rock" station.

(Two or three decades to work with, and they have a playlist of maybe 200 songs?!)

[Consort]

The Best of Vaughan Monroe.
