^ I know enough to move this out of The Prog Lounge and into General Music Discussions.  (sorry, but that is part of what I signed up to when I became a mod). I know almost all of those. The one I don't remember hearing before despite having heard of The Singing Nun is Dominique.------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

I expected this one to come up, amazingly a No1 in the UK. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnzHtm1jhL4" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnzHtm1jhL4 |

I'm old enough to remember all sixteen songs, as well as Sixteen Tons - which wasn't on the list.

I am old enough to remember them all.  I had totally forgotten about 'The Singing Nun'!

Any radiohead who grew up in the 70s knew these numbers - they were standards on both AM and FM. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |

Yes I remember most of them. For progheads, check out the Neal Morse Band's version of MacArthur Park which you can find on Youtube.

^ I think I would go with Donna Summer's version which was surprisingly 'proggy'. She had a bit of a thing for electronica and prog it seemed, more interesting than your average soul/r'n'b artist. |

I recall all of them and once owned most on 45 rpm singles. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

I don't "remember" any of them as such, but knew most of these from oldies radio stations. I had to check 'Winchester Cathedral', 'Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye' and 'Green Tambourine'. Turned out I had heard the two first of these several times. But familiar as it does sound (being so instantly catchy) I might perhaps never have heard the latter song. I kind of loved it though. Very charming lightly psychedelic tune. I haven't been overexposed to any of these so I enjoy most of them really. Some of them are genuine classics. But I much rather listen to Dominique as well, over more than 90% of what's currently in the charts. It makes me smile. |

Then there's this version by Glenn Campbell with the songs writer Jimmy Webb conducting proceedings: Campbell does a great guitar solo too. ------------- I should have been a pair of ragged claws Scuttling across the floors of uncertain seas |
