That's the cool thing about music - one man's masterpiece is another man's pile-o-crap. We're going to have to agree to disagree on what makes a great song there, Buffa. My greatest songs list would contain things like - Chicago - Ballet For A Girl In Buchanan Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Tarkus (the entire side 1) Just about anything by Bruce Hornsby Pat Metheny Group - The First Circle Chick Corea - Spain Probably all songs that you've never heard of. And I'm not sure if you'd like 'em if you did hear 'em. We're just gonna have to agree NOT to make mix tapes for each other!

But you DO realize that Terry Jacks didn't write that song, right? <LETS GET PHYSICAL, Olivia Nuton John> Ditto. <HEY MICKEY, Toni Basil> Ditto. <ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK, Muryhead> Ditto. <FRIENDS IN LOW PLACES, Garth Brooks> Ditto.
Originally Posted By LoyalOrderWaterBuffa sorry to tell you but ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK and HEY MICKEY are great music, always will be so what is your problem Mr. Dabob2? Why do you give me such a hard time every day I come here. Cant a girl come on here without having her choices picked apart. and for your information every time I go to Disney World I play HEY MICKEY on my personal music player to get me in the mood to meet the real Mickey. One time I sang HEY MICKEY to the real Mickey Mouse and we have video tape to prove it. So there!

Originally Posted By Dabob2 oh never mind Mr.Dabob2 because I misread you. I hope you forgive me and we can get past this> Thanks for that. As I think you understand now, I was only pointing out that none of those songs were written by the singers. I myself found "Mickey" pretty irresistible at the time, and Friends in Low Places is one of the best country songs of the past 20 years.

After being stuck in a car listening to a station that had it on constant rotation (family vacation) I just can't stand that song anymore. And I actually like Garth Brooks, not love mind you, but most of his stuff is decently good.
