favorite co-written song (excluding RD and CM cowrites)

[elle]

ok, the last of the polls before starting with the ones according to the topic / tone of the song. we need more discussion on what to include in those before actually starting them.

this current poll contains the rest of the co-writes we didn't consider yet:

Did You Miss Me (Buckingham, Kristen Buckingham)
Great Day (Buckingham, Will Buckingham)
I Want You (Buckingham, Fordyce)
Love Runs Deeper (Buckingham, Kristen Buckingham)
Say We'll Meet Again (Buckingham, Robert Aguirre)
Shut Us Down (Cory Sipper/Buckingham)
Stars Are Crazy (Lisa Dewey/Buckingham)
Come (Buckingham/Neale Heywood)
What's The World Coming To (Julian Raymond/Buckingham)

i realize some might take an issue with Buckingham family members co-written songs, but it seems that some of the Dashut co-written songs had similar level of contribution by the co-writer...

as we would like to be all-inclusive, for people not [that] familiar with some of the songs there will be some vids of the included songs in the subsequent posts.

[elle]

looking at this list, narrowing it down is pretty easy for me - i really like only Shut Us Down and Come out of all these.

i really dislike Did You Miss Me and What's The World Coming To.

somewhat indifferent towards I Want You (although the alarm clock sound is fun!), Great Day and Love Runs Deeper (although nice guitar solos!) and Say We'll Meet Again.

Stars Are Crazy you all know my thoughts on . still, here's couple of live version recordings from Saban:

I LOVE all these videos you've posted, Elle.

Here's another favorite of Shut Us Down from October 2011. The last few seconds are cut off...too bad. But still a really good vid.

I also really love I Want You Back on Mick's album. Yowza.

Michele

[bangdrum]

I agree with Michele.

[shackin'up]

Shut Us Down. Still brings me to tears. Especially live.

Come and Great Day get honorable mentions from the jury from the lowlands...

[McTrouble]

I voted for Did You Miss Me as it's one of my very fave LB songs.

Second would have been What's The World Coming To.

[Peestie]

It could have been a good few of these. I went with Stars Are Crazy because there's something very visceral about it. Come and all of the GOS songs were a very close second. And live SUD.

[bluefox4000]

I flipped a coin.....Cause it was between Come and Love Runs Deeper. Loves Runs Deeper won.

Since it wasn't listed, I went with the other song Stevie's vocal is on in the list, "What's the World Coming To". My favorite lines:

I can jump right off and fall right into the ocean
I can come right out and mean just what I say
But if I don't call for a reservation
They'll just turn me down
Turn me inside out

Would have loved to give Kristen props for her co-writes though. Nice work. Subtle, but nice just the same.

Stars are Crazy is also at the top of my list. And, I base my decisions on recorded versions, not live versions. Live my choice would be Shut Us Down, no contest. It remains one of my most memorable/emotional concert experiences.

since all BN stuff obviously completely slips my mind, CADreaming - would you be up for putting together a poll for LB stuff from BN era as suggested / discussed here:

i plan to collate all polls together in the end somehow, but we are obviously still discussing on what is the appropriate song grouping in all these starting-level polls.
