Books, Movies, Music & Entertainment - Your favorite Carly Simon song?

Carly is great. :)

Hard to choose, but Never Been Gone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdnUZD2aqSE) gets missed sometimes. It's simply beautiful.

You're welcome,............

why Airwick, how do you like, Do the walls come down? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZpmXkc85b4)

Oh Airwick, that's a GREAT one!

Have you seen this great mini concert (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYOL4vClXis) featuring, "Haven't got time for the pain"?

You strike me as having excellent taste in music...........

Airwick, not to upset you, but Carly Simon always reminds me of Carole King.

It's too late (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YzHfVaqP1s) being one of my favorites.

Who do you think is the best artist between Carole and Carly?

Who do you think is the best artist between Carole and Carly?

wow, what a super question,...

but it's not that hard, Airwick.

Both ladies are super duper talented singer songwriters with marvelous voices.

Carole's Tapestry is one of the greatest albums of all-time.

Carly, however, matched her song for song in the seventies and continues to write beautiful music.

So, my answer would have to be Carly for the longevity of her career.

Carole is great though,.... So Far Away (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urt2cy7AqFs&feature=related)
would be my favorite Carole song,......

uh oh. Airwick is now talking to himself! :eek:

Coming Around Again-Itsy Bitsy Spider

I-Like-To-Bike,

Other than your name being way too difficult to type, you have excellent taste in music :)

Coming Around Again (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNZ0ClNhOyg)

i'm just sayin' carole's a better songwriter and jazzman is her best song. carly's a better stage presence
and has a much better voice. i'd pay to see carly perform but not carole. now if carly has carole's songwriting ability (and her own) as well as that voice and stage presence all rolled into one, carly would
be better than even britney!:)

....... carly would
be better than even britney!:)

:twitchy:

East Hill, this calls for immediate bannishment for ooga-booga

Now to your premise,...

Carole's Tapestry is a work of art but she hasn't consistantly written great songs for decades like my Carly.

You are forgiven if you renounce your herecy.

Love of my life (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1BSJN_KoS8)

computer speakers at work are teh suxor. :(

Britney has nothing on my Carly,.....

All I Want Is You (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEathTWl7wI)

did i say britney? i meant lady gaga.

did i say britney? i meant lady gaga.

"report post" has been clicked,.......... :) I'm asking for at least a 3 week ban.

yes, my bad. i'll take whatever punishment you would like to mete out.
carly/carole/britney & lady gaga should never ever be mentioned in the same thread,
much less the same sentence. oops!

and where exactly does this leave joni mitchell? begging for scraps off the table?

Seriously, you can't be serious.

Carly has a career,.... Mitchell had a song.............

You can call me ILTB. Coming Around-Itsy Bitsy Spider was also featured in the movie Kramer vs. Kramer. Carly also had one of the best album covers, ever.

wouza,.... Airwick was apparently too young to understand and appreciate this when it was first released.

But not now :)

Definitely score another one for you, but Carole's version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jAXGgNW-4E) is much better.

We will have to agree to disagree about which version is better. My opinion is based only on the audio recordings, not video or you tube appeal.

IMO, Aretha is the one artist who could reliably cover a hit from another very good artist and make it all her own and make the song even better. Examples:

Respect (originally a hit by Otis Redding)
I Say a Little Prayer for You (originally a hit by Dionne Warwick)
You Send Me (originally a hit by Sam Cooke)
Gentle on My Mind (originally a hit by Glen Campbell)
Groovin' (originally a hit by The Young Rascals)
Tracks of My Tears (originally a hit by The Miracles)
etc.

Joni Mitchell? A hasbeen that never was................

Seriously, you can't be serious.

Carly has a career,.... Mitchell had a song.............

um...mitchell has both and she's an artist in every sense of the word whereas simon is closer to a performer. however...both have "had" other singer/songwriters. :) does that affect your scorecard at home?

No sorry,.... Joni Mitchell doesn't measure up on any level.

Make your case, ooga-booga. :)

well, carly's best album-no secrets-from 1972 is very good. much of her discography is spotty or
erratic. her best songs are outstanding. she seems to me almost a singles format artist vs an
album format where she was forced to "fill" the rest of the album with material not even close to the
quality of her singles. joni embraced the album format; not going for the home run but trying to load the bases. joni's stretch from 1970-1976 includes a remarkable group of albums-best known is
court & spark. 1975-1976 found her gravitating towards incorporating jazz/world music much to the
chagrin of (many) fans & critics. to roughly paraphrase rolling stone magazine, her album-the hissing
of summer lawns (prince's favorite album, btw)-was the worst album release by a major artist in 1975. i think they gave it one star. now, it's considered a 4.5-5 star album. she's was a bit ahead of her time and a little more outspoken than most of her fellow musicians then. she has collaborated or
played with jazz legends such as charles mingus, jaco pastorius, herbie hancock, pat metheny & wayne shorter-all giants in the annals of jazz. true, her best known songs to the public are probably:
help me-written & sung by joni
both sides, now-written & sung by joni but popularized by judy collins
woodstock-written & sung by joni but popularized by crosby, stills, nash & young
big yellow taxi-written, sung & popularized by joni but covered frequently
clearly, none of these equal carly's you're so vain in terms of sheer pop culture awareness but joni nearly always had the big picture in mind. carly never pushed the envelope of the singer/songwriter
genre.

plus...cheech & chong are on court & spark's last song-twisted. joni garners the hippie lettuce vote too!:p

If Ms. Simon would care to stop by and sing a song I would favor it.

You can call me ILTB. Coming Around-Itsy Bitsy Spider was also featured in the movie Kramer vs. Kramer. Carly also had one of the best album covers, ever.

Hit me!

No sorry,.... Joni Mitchell doesn't measure up on any level.

Make your case, ooga-booga. :)

If the lyrics and HARMONIES of "Help Me" can't phase you, it's time for the toe tag.

Carole wrote one of the best songs, ever. Even better when sung by the best singer, ever.

You just GOTTA love crappy European TV from the sixties! Why have a great shot of Aretha Franklin if you can mix an unrelated light with a halo in?

What could they have been smok--thinking?:twitchy::thumb:

(Reader's Digested) carly never pushed the envelope of the singer/songwriter genre.

Let The River Run was a pretty good try.

My Favorite song is Haven't Got Time For The Pain. This is a very interesting song.

+1 and welcome my good man,.......

you are aware that she has a birthday today? 64yo.

I'm really sorry it slipped past me. It was a very bleak day for others.

I hope she made the best of it and continues to with each day that follows :thumb:
