Songs You Think Are Absolutely Beautiful

[starshine]

I really enjoyed reading over everyone's lists. Its so hard to list all the songs you really like cause its hard to recall 'all' the songs you like....plus its easy to forget some of them.....I'm gonna try but I'm sure I'll have to add more to it. But for this list I'm not gonna list Stevie or Mac......those are hard enough.......here it goes.........

Eagles: Hotel California/The Sad Cafe/Desperado/Dooling& Dalton-Despardo reprise/Tequlia Sunrise/Best Of My Love/Lyin Eyes/New Kid In Town/Wasted Time/Try & Love Again/The Last Resort/Seven Bridges Road-live/probably others....etc
Steely Dan: My Old School/Josie/FM/Hey Nineteen/Reelin In The Years/etc more will have to come back....
Heart: Dog & Butterfly/Straight On/Heartless/Even It Up/more....
Led Zeppelin:Going To California/Stairway To Heaven/Dazed & Confused/Communication Breakdown/....more...
Don Henley: The Heart Of The Matter/My Thanksgiving/New York Minute/The Boys Of Summer/End Of The Innocence/Talking To The Moon/Sunset Grill/Everything Is Different Now.....more....
K.T. Oslin: 80's Ladies/Do Ya/....
Steve Wariner: Life's Highway/Some Fools Never Learn/What I didn't Do/Starting Over Again/I Should Be With You/.....
Dolly Parton: Jolene/Coat Of Many Colors/I'll Always Love You/Here You Come Again/Its All Wrong But Its Alright/Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle To You/Potential New Boyfriend/more....
Pink Floyd: Comfortably Numb/Wish You Were Here/Run Like Hell/more....
Natalie Merchant: Wonder/Carnival/Break Your Heart/These Are The Days/Kind & Generous/Life Is Sweet/Ophelia....etc.

Ok theres more so I'll probably just add another post to this......this can take awhile ya know cause I know theres alot of solo artists and bands that I didn't write....so more will be posted sometime.......
