Is There A Song You Like....

[megoapesnut]

Elvis (my favorite version)

Oh, yeah, ELVIS' version is the best. Good song

[Adam West]

Kind of a corny one but I always liked You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) by Dead or Alive and then Flo-Ri-Da had a remake and I actually like it.

[Sandman9580]

House of the Rising Sun.
I like both Animals and Frijid Pink's version

That's the one I was gonna say. The Ventures version from their "Live in Japan" album is a personal favorite.

Yep, that's pretty much it..

Oh, and adding "My Love" by Wings... Awesome Guitar solo..

Well.., don't know about anyone else, but there are songs that make me pause and stop.., and really can't do anything until the song is finished.

Y'know, the ones that make you totally stop in your tracks..

"Whiter Shade of Pale"
"Bridge Over Troubled Water"
"Jumpin' Jack Flash"
"Green-Eyed Lady"
"Tuesday Afternoon"
"Paperback Writer"
"Always Something There to Remind Me"
"Maybe I'm Amazed" (Live Wings '76 Version only)

..and a few more I can't recall at this moment.

House of the Rising Sun.

[Blue Meanie]

"If Not For You" Dylan wrote it and sang it...George Harrison did it and it was a hit...and Olivia Newton John did it and it became a bigger hit....all three versions are fantastic.

"Without You" Written by Badfinger and performed by Badfinger ...then performed by Nilson and became a huge hit for him....and then finally performed by Mariah Carey and it became a huge hit again...All three versions are great.

"Forever Young" Written and performed by Dylan and then became a monster hit with Rod Stewart...both are great versions of the same song.

"Jersey Girl" Great Tom Waits song and performed by Waits...but Bruce just brought it to another level.

[ScottA]

"Unchained Melody"
"American Trilogy"
"I Will Always Love You"
