"Longer" - Dan Fogelberg could fill the Final Four. I've said that about several artists, I know...
Elton.
"More Than Words."
"Angel" is pretty bad, but is a result of the economics of hip-hop, where instead of using many samples to create a rich sonic collage, artists license a single song and do a pseudo-cover. What led us to this sorry state? A lawsuit brought against Biz Markie by that rat bastard Gilbert O' Sullivan. "Alone Again" gets my vote.
Again, we start we start with two deserving songs. And while Dan Fogelberg does have some good material, Longer isn't in that class.
Elton John's done some good songs as well. Someone Saved My Life Tonight is not one of them.
Eternal Flame was only eternal in that I thought the song would never end.
Alone Again (Naturally), definitely. It's not surprising that he was left at the altar, when he's such a whiner about everything.
Longer.
Someone Saved My Life Tonight.
More Than Words: Remember, fellas; use a line that effectively says, "if you love me, you'd sleep with me".
Alone Again
#1 "Longer"
abstain on Elton vs. Orioles
#4 "More Than Words"
#5 "Alone Again (Naturally)"
