The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" - Gordon Lightfoot Maybe the best song ever written- the lyrics are never repeated, no chorus. great song. I have so many favourites, but this one is very good!

What's your favourite? Must be original and have great lyrics! Let's make this a fun one!!!!

Great choice for sure.

I have several and can't pick one over the other.

That said, the lyrics in the Eagles "Lyin' Eyes' song contain an enormous number of the things that deal with the human condition and all of the flaws and heartbreaks we face.

El Paso, Western Ballads, Crazy by The Love of God ; religious, Proud Mary, Rock, Kathys Clown. Early Rock, Money For Nothing, Middle Rock, Phantom of the Opra , Classic , I really like Edmund Fitzgerald too , a lot. But love most of Gordon Lightfoot stuff and songs like Southern Cross , Crosby , Stills , Nash and Young. The Ghetto by Elvis was pretty good too HallaujJah by Leonard Cohen was really great. Crazy, written by Willie Nelson and sang by Patsy Cline was great. But Best. Nothing else like Mary's Boy Child, by Pantatonics. All time best in the world.

God bless, Steve

Sounds of Silence was a big favorite of mine when I was in college, as was Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Poneys with "Different Drum."

That one still brings tears to my eyes fifty years later after a college flame dumped me.

I love Freebird and have seen it done live several times.

Seven Bridges Road by the Eagles is great and one of my all time favorites.

Anything that Bob Seger does, I like. Have seen him live and he puts on a great show.

Rodney Crowell has written songs for the Eagles and Bob Seger and I like Rodney. He is coming out with a new album in March. My son is on the album.
