| Post subject: | Your Top 10 Fave songs– need a list from singers who are older than me! and country! |
Hello KSers! I've putting togoether lists of Favorite Karaoke Songs for when my friends go out on the town and when we throw karaoke parties. Just to give people inspiration, I've compiled 15 of my favorites songs and faves of a few my friends. But since we I grew up in the 80's (I just turned 30, and most of my friends are 25-32), our fave songs reflect this- heavy bias on 80s 90s hits. Would love some Top 10-15 Songs lists that reflect folks who know more about songs from the 60s, 70s, and any favorite COUNTRY songs are greatly appreciated! Also, let me know the name (or pseudonym) you want me to use, location, and age. Thanks! Raina PS. there are some of my faves: 1. Gloria, Laura Branigan 2. We Belong, Pat Benatar 3. You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me, Dusty Springfield 4. What I Did For Love, from “A Chorus Line” 5. Memory, Barbara Streisand 6. Since You’ve Been Gone, Kelly Clarkson 7. Voices Carry, ‘Til Tuesday 8. Torn, Natalie Imbruglia |

I like songs because of melodic structure. With few exceptions (regarding a couple ballad songs), not too into poetry, Just raised and bred listening to pitches; meaning Poetry, and Lyrics aint my thang, the lyrics of some of the songs I love would end up driving me to slit my wrists assuming I listened too closesly, Similary Country is often gorgeous too in it's composition, but MY GOD, that stuff can depress a bottle of Prozac... I listen to musical composition almost exclusively.. Keep this in mind because a few of you will say "Yech, that song is horrid, it's depressing"... Thing is, I still like the MELODIC composition Among these songs in no particular order Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody #2 (That dude could play rock) Brahms Wedding March (It's really ashame they had to apply it to such a depressing concept however, I know) Never My Love (Larry Ramos) Association Can't Find My Way Home Blind Faith Wond'ring Aloud Jethro Tull Ballad of Billy the Kid Billy Joel You Can Have Me Anytime Boz Scaggs Three Times a Lady Commodores (Lionel R.) The Wedding Song Paul Spooky (or whatever- Peter, Paul, & Mary) Lay Lady Lay Toneimpaired Dylan Ruby Tuesday Rolling Stones Mr. Tambourine Man Should've let McGuinn sing all his stuff "Dylan" This Is Your Life Commodores Mighty Love Spinners You can Close Your Eyes James Taylor Superstar Carpenters Souvenirs Dan Fogelberg Theme From Half Mountain Dan Fogelberg Angie Rolling Stones Angel of the Morning Whoever wrote it Comfortably Numb Floyd Kramer (HAHAHAHAHA---sorry) Share the Land Guess Who (Burton Cummings) See me, Feel Me The Who Long Long Long Beatles Dog & Butterfly Heart Don't Let me Be Lonely Tonight James Taylor Thank You Led Zep Wear Your Love Like Heaven Donovan L Love is Forever With You Billy Ocean You Could've Been with Me Sheena Easton Amanda Boston To The Morning D. Fogelberg Son of a Son of a Sailor J Buffet You Made Me So Very Happy BS&T Aint That Kindness Winter/Derringer All This Love DeBarge Newborn Friend Seal Kiss from a Rose Seal Shannon Henry Gross Chevy Van (I never would've thunk that song would grow on me, NEVER EVER) Somewhere In The Night (Helen Reddy version of B Manilow Comp) Ballad Of Curtis Lowe Lynyrd S I Love You Climax Blues Band MMMMMMM Crash Test DUmmies (easily one of the prettiest melodies written in a LONG time) Into White Cat Stevens Sorry I couldn't think of ten, but those are a few that came to mind. |

ha ha! I sang amos moses last year for the first time ever. I love that song. I'm not a very good singer, but I've heard it so many times I nailed it fairly close, plus Jerry Reed is easy to sing and I was kinda drunk, anyway, I got a couple cheers, and I don't normally get those (except when i sing cake). yee haw! |

thanks everyone for the lists! esp the one with hits from the 70s– we're always looking for new things to try, and these are sure to spark inspiraiton. I don't know this Amos Moses song but after all the endorsement, it'll be a must try. Thanks Topher for the most requested country list too– that totally helps. Country is really great to sing, and even though I'm much more of a pop rock and musicals person myself, and gonna have to do more research in that category! Anyway, I just love finding out what other people sing! It give me a peak into your heads! |

..... Each of these songs is usually sang every night, and if not I have never gone a week without hearing them!!! Does this mean "Picture" has been mercifully put to sleep? I will admit I don't hear it as often now, but I heard it again just last night. |

Oh, no....I didn't consider Picture a country song, though it does have those twangy guitars. That song is still performed nightly if not twice a night... |

By the way.... Raina? You said from "people older than you"..... but your age is not listed:) I'm most likely older than you, and I like alot of older country songs, so maybe I can help you out. I'll try to put my thinkin' cap on. (if I can find the dang thing) Places around here are pretty heavy on country music, so I hear alot of what's popular in that genre.
