My Favorite Blank

I have come to number 9 on the countdown this week. This is a band that has a continent’s name and is known world-wide. The song has a simple 1 word title, but it’s probably one of the first songs you think of when you hear this group’s name.

9th Best Rock Ballad of All Time

That is a good song!

Europe’s Carrie makes the 9th best song on my countdown of the top 10 rock ballads of all time. This is a nice song to hear and I think most people that is my age remember this song. It was released in 1986 and you can still hear this song being played on the radio 22 years later. A song that can stand the test of time makes it quality material for any countdown. The song Carrie was on the album The Final Countdown and it was a huge hit for the band Europe that is from Sweden.

So now we have 20% of the top ten countdown in place with Cinderella’s Don’t Know What You Got coming in at number 10 and Carrie by Europe is number 9 on the best rock ballads of all time. Make sure you check back soon and see what the number 8 rock ballad of all time will be. Feel free to chime in and let me know what some of your favorite rock ballads of all time are.

The countdown is on to find the top 10 rock ballads of all time. Those great songs from the 80’s and 90’s that still makes us want to crank up the radio when we hear them. A rock ballad is that one song you can identify a rock band or singer with. The ballad is like their theme song or it can be the first song that comes to your mind when you hear the singer or group’s name. I love a lot of the rock ballads that have came out over the years and this will be tough to get the top 10 of all time in this countdown. I’m sure I could pick 50 great rock ballads and I will still leave one off.

So to get the countdown started I will start with number 10 and work my way up to number 1. I will release a new ballad every few days and you can chime in and let me know how I am doing with my countdown to the greatest rock ballad of all time!

10th Best Rock Ballad of All Time

For anyone that was around when this song came out can remember just how popular it was. If you ever had the chance to attend a Cinderella concert you would get chills just listening to the piano that would start this song off. It’s truly a classic and I think it will be one rock ballad that will always be associated with the group Cinderella.

So number 10 is in the books and I have 9 more great rock ballads to come, so stick around and see which one I will name as the greatest rock ballad of all time!

I see American Idol has a special two hour show on tonight with their final 12 contestants for this season. It’s really boring to watch if you ask me. Remember when MTV use to show videos? Remember when they use to sing on American Idol? Well these days you can’t watch music videos on MTV and you can’t see the amateur singers, singing on American Idol. I could care less about most of the stuff they show on American Idol and they spend 20 minutes of talk and letting the judges talk for every 2 minute singing performance you get to hear. It’s really not worth watching American Idol anymore and I can’t wait until someone gives the same product with more singing. When that occurs, there won’t be any more high paying advertisers looking for spots on American Idol anymore.

I really do like seeing the singers, but just way too much talk for my taste!

This is true and due to a fight the superstar rocker had in Georgia at a Waffle House last year, he will be spending his time working at a local Waffle House in Georgia. Kid Rock will go on stage in front of thousands tonight in Atlanta, but he will first have to make sure that everyone gets their hash browns scattered, covered and smothered. That’s Waffle House lingo for the different ways they prepare their hash browns. I really like the food at Waffle House, but it’s hard to find good cooks and good service. You always take a gamble on the service that Waffle House has on staff; when you do decide to go in for a good meal there. So Kid Rock won’t have high standards to live up to and I’m sure he will do just as well as any of the other workers they have at our Waffle Houses in Georgia.

I would really like to go there and see all the commotion that his appearance is causing. I’m sure many fans will be driving a long ways today, just to get a bite of food and see the talented Kid Rock. He’s a special talent that is out there today and so many of his songs are felt from the heart. He has an interesting blend of gospel, rock and rap music, but he has that magical ability to make it all sound right at the end of the day.

I’m sure Amen will be performed in Atlanta tonight as that is the latest tune Kid Rock has out right now. He has a lot of other great songs and he’s one artist that can really get a crowd going. So much energy in his music and the way he performs is what makes Kid Rock the hottest musical talent on the scene today. He has a wide-range of audience from young to old, women to men and people from all sorts of professions. Kid Rock’s popularity is still going up and I’m sure his sentence to do community service in Atlanta, for Waffle House, will make him that much more popular.

Amen by Kid Rock

A Whole New World by the Young YouTube Sensation Alex

So what did you think of Alex’s performance? Here is another version of the song A Whole New World.

Nick Pitera Sings A Whole New World

Alex’s video was a video response to Nick Pitera singing A Whole New World over at You Tube. Is Alex’s version better than Nick Pitera’s version or just as good? Obviously Nick’s voice is amazing at how he can change levels in this song and might have the advantage, since this song is usually performed by a man and a woman. If you think you have heard this song in a movie; then you’re right! This was the popular song from the movie Aladdin and was being played on all the radio stations when the movie Aladdin was being seen in theaters.

How do you think the You Tube Sensation Alex would do against fellow YouTubers? There is a post on the blog Single Source Writing that has You Tube Members singing A Whole New World. Listen to 5 other performances of people giving their own version and style to this great song A Whole New World. You can also be treated to a 6th performance as Alex’s YouTube Video is over there too!

Please be sure to vote on the best performance; from the YouTuber you liked best. Which member of You Tube done the the best job on this song? Did anyone do a better job than the Young You Tube Star Alex?

Single Source Writing is a blog that has been keeping up with Alex and tracking her latest singing performances through the videos she uploads at YouTube. This young teen from Mexico has been posting her videos for the whole world to see. She has started to gain a fan base from her exposure on You Tube. She has come a long ways from a few comments to each video; to now dozens and dozens of comments and usually you can find Alex replying back to a lot of them.

So what does Alex want to do when she grows up? It’s not perfectly clear right now, but Alex does want to play a part in the music industry. She has the talents for singing, the passion for picking strings on the guitar and a desire to compose music too. She is talented and smart enough to probably succeed in any one of these areas and maybe more than just 1. The future remains bright for this rising star from You Tube and I’m sure Alex will succeed in which ever direction she eventually chooses.

It seems high school has got her thinking more and more about being in a band. Alex has also performed in public places at her local home in Mexico State, just outside of Mexico City in Mexico. I’m not sure if Mexico will always be able to keep her there as one day you could easily see her in the USA or overseas in a place like Europe performing on stage or in front of a television camera. The world is just now slowly learning about the YouTube Sensation, but the powers of the internet and You Tube has gave this talented teen a world wide audience that grows more each day. If you would like to keep up with Alex or just see more of her great videos, be sure to check her out at Single Source Writing.

A star in the making to be continued…

I haven’t heard anything lately from Travis Tritt and was wondering what he is up to these days. If you know anything about the counrty singer Travis Tritt; then please be sure to leave a reply. I like a lot of Travis Tritt songs and he is from Georgia which is another plus for him!

Tell Me I Was Dreaming

Do you have any favorite songs by Travis Tritt? He has a lot of really good songs. Here’s A Quarter might be the one he is best known for. You can hear him on this YouTube video of the song that he said got it all started for him.

Song That Made Travis Tritt?

I also like that song Anymore by Travis Tritt. Some other songs you might of heard before are T-R-O-U-B-L-E, The Whiskey Ain’t Working Anymore, Put Some Drive In Your Country, Where the Corn Don’t Grow, Best Intentions, Foolish Pride and Drift Off To Dream.

I just wasn’t aware of anything new he might have done or any new albums that might be coming out from this country music superstar. So any Travis Tritt news you might have, be sure to pass it along!

The day has arrived for me to reveal the top 5 song of all time by Garth Brooks. I have been going through the best Garth Brooks songs of all time over the last few weeks. I have finally reached the top spot on the countdown. You can go back and review what songs I listed as Garth’s best five ever!

Top Garth Brooks Song

Was there ever any doubt that this song wouldn’t be number 1?

I recently saw Garth Brooks here in Atlanta, at the NHL All Star game. He was here watching some good hockey while raising a lot of money for charity. Yes, the Dance is the song everyone will always know Garth Brooks from. In the video for the Dance you can see people that lost their lives early, who probably wouldn’t have changed a thing in their lives, so they wouldn’t have missed the dance they did in life. People like the NASA astronauts that lost their life when the space shuttle Challenger exploded over the Florida skies, Lane Frost the rodeo sensation and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., all were in the video by Garth Brooks song the Dance. You could even see the late John F. Kennedy featured in the video, who was another great American that lost his life way too early.

Garth mentions at the end of the video if anything was to ever happen to him; that he would like this song to be played for him. I’m sure Garth has many more decades on this planet, but when ever that time does come, I’m sure people all over the world will get a good dose of the Dance.

The Dance is a great song and its a song that will live through the ages. There will always be room for a song like this in our lives and this song will still be heard after everybody that heard it originally is long go. Let the Dance live in your hearts and if you have never heard this song before, go back and really listen close to the lyrics. The Dance is the top song on my Garth Broooks countdown and it would be number 1 on anybody else’s countdown too.

Be sure to check out the rest of the songs on my top 5 countdown for Garth Brooks. All songs can be found under “Favorite Singer” here on my blog! See if Garth’s latest song More Than A Memory made the top 5 countdown!

Have you guys and gals been watching American Idol? Has anyone caught your eye as the next American Idol? I’m sure you have already had a few laughs. Be sure to let me know who you think is doing really well on American Idol or who has cracked you up the most. You can become a star if your singing is too bad, just ask William Hung. He did that Ricky Martin song “She Bangs” and people are still talking about that 4 years later!

2004 American Idol’s William Hung

Now that video brings back a few memories. There’s a Princes Leah singer that will be giving William Hung a run for his money. Now one of the talented singers that has stuck out in the 2008 American Idol is Kristy Lee Cook. She has those 3 names like the famous killers of our time; Lee Harvey Oswald, John Wayne Gacy, O J Simpson. I don’t know if Kristy’s self defense tactics has made her a killer yet, but she is going to kill the dreams of many American Idol hopefuls. She is the early favorite and I would imagine that she makes it to the last 4 or 5 singers, that are left in the competition.

Amazing Grace by Kristy Lee Cook

Let me know who you like so far in the American Idol competition. I’m sure who ever wins this year; there will be millions and millions of people all over the world tuning in to watch. Idol still has those 3 famous judges in place Paula, Randy and some guy named Simon.

The top 5 countdown of Garth Brooks best songs is getting close to revealing the number 1 song of all-time by the country music legend. I have arrived at the 2nd spot on the countdown now. So I don’t think too many will complain that this Garth Brooks Classic is truly his 2nd best song that he has ever performed. Turn your speakers up and grab your friends around the computer and sing along, to the 2nd best song ever by Garth Brooks!

Garth Brooks 2nd Best Song

They might just want to call this the party song! I have found my self many times at a party or in a club and this song comes on and just everybody in the house will sing along to it. The lyrics are catchy and repeat their self enough, so that you remember the lyrics after only hearing the song a few times. I guess some people could consider Friends In Low Places as the Redneck National Anthem!

Friends In Low Places is the 2nd best song ever done by the superstar of country music Garth Brooks. I can’t think of another song that deserves this honor more. I believe a lot of people can relate to this song and I’m sure we all have a few friends that are in low places. Heck, some of us might just be the friends in low places and this song speaks directly to us!

A quick review of the countdown and you can see the 5th Top Song, 4th Top Song and the 3rd Top Song by Garth Brooks. I have included songs like Rodeo, More Than A Memory and If Tomorrow Never Comes in my top 5 countdown of Garth Brooks songs.

Do you have a favorite Garth Brooks song? Please feel free to share your top Garth Brooks songs or comment on the way I have ranked them so far. Have you ever seen Garth Brooks in concert? If Garth decides to hit the road again, what city or cities do you think he must go to? I know the folks in Atlanta, Georgia would turn out by the thousands to get a chance to see Garth Brooks in conert one more time. He showed us all in the last few concerts he did in the Midwest that he has a heart and will give people what they want. I believe if enough fans get up in a certain city or section of the country, they could land a Garth Brooks concert. I do know that breast cancer is very close to Garth Brooks heart right now and anything that would support the fight against breast cancer would have Garth Brooks attention. Just let me know what’s on your mind!

I have arrived at number 3 on my Garth Brooks countdown and I’m trying to name his top 5 songs of all time. This is very hard since Garth probably has 10 to 12 really good songs, but I think I have a good canidate for what the number 3 best song of all time is from Garth Brooks.

3rd Best Song by Garth Brooks

Do you agree that’s the 3rd best song ever by Garth Brooks? Is this song in the top 5 or top 10 of all time by Garth Brooks?

I can remember when this song came out and everybody was a Rodeo Cowboy then. Garth shed some light on the rodeo industry and this was a great song for all the guys that do the rodeo. It took me awhile to learn the lyrics of this song and there are a few tricky ones in there, but finally my cousin at high school gave me the written lyrics to this song that she had written her self. So I finally knew everything that Garth Brooks was saying about the rodeo. Even the part when he’s talking about the white in their knuckles and he’ll win the next go around.

Rodeo by Garth Brooks is a great song and it has the right tempo to get any good ol’ party started on a Friday or Saturday Night. I think Garth had a few more songs that he sangs that can get a party started off on the right foot. You will have to stick around and see if one of those songs or something else; makes the final two spots I have left in my Garth Broooks countdown of the 5 best songs ever!

Garth Brooks Countdown Recap:

5th Best Song by Garth Brooks

4th Best Song by Garth Brooks

Here is the 2nd song on my Garth Brooks countdown. I am going to be doing a countdown on the 5 greatest songs by Garth Brooks. I have already gave away the number 5 spot on the countdown, so now its time to see which song gets number 4!

4th Best Garth Brooks Song

This song has not been out long, but I think its one of Garth’s best five songs! I really wanted to include More Than A Memory and I think in time people will recognize this song as one of the best Garth Brooks has ever done. I really think the song has a good message and I’m sure a lot of guys can relate to this song. So More Than A Memory by Garth Brooks has to be a top 5 song in the countdown; on my countdown here at My Favorite Blank.

More Than A Memory was released as a single and it debuted at number 1, which was a record. You can find this song on Garth Brooks new cd The Ultimate Hits. So what are your thoughts on this song? Do you believe that More Than A Memory is one of Garth’s 5 greatest songs? Be sure to leave a reply and let me know.

So now we have the number 4 song on the countdown More Than A Memory and the 5th song on the countdown was If Tomorrow Never Comes. Stick around and see what will be the final 3 songs that get listed as Garth Brooks 5 best songs of all time!

I wanted to focus on Garth Brooks and was wondering what his 5 best songs were. So I am going to start a countdown on the top songs by Garth Brooks over the next few weeks. Garth has a lot more than just 5 great songs, so it will be hard to just come up with 5 songs for him. I would imagine that 10 different people could list their top 5 Garth Brooks songs and none of them would match. So I don’t think my 5 picks will be the same as yours would be.

5th Best Song by Garth Brooks

I really like that song.

This is one of those songs that makes us think about today. I think too many times we get caught up in what we are going to do tomorrow and we never do enough for today. Start making today last longer than you normally would, because you just never know when tomorrow might not come. So as the old saying goes “don’t put things off until tomorrow; when you can do them today”.

So this is my 5th song on the countdown with 4 more to go! Stick around and see what Garth’s number 1 song of all time might be!

There is currently a search under way to find the creators of this video below. The person that posted this on YouTube didn’t know where the original footage came from and now an intense search is in progress to find the makers of this video. It’s a story of two guys that are traveling from Los Angeles to New York and they have a camera mounted to the back of their car for the whole trip. Please watch the video below and any information you know about this video; then please relay it along!

MYSTERY VIDEO

Please reply if you have any knowledge concerning this video!

Now the singer you hear on the video is the daughter of Sally Struthers (Gloria -All In the Family) and her name is Sam Rader. She is a very talented musician that taught her self. Sam Rader began writing music in her early twenties and was inspired by artists like Paul McCartney, Lenny Kravitz, Fiona Apple, Radiohead, Tori Amos, Nick Drake, Beck, Jeff Buckley and Jason Falkner. She has now created her debut album Goldstar Galaxy and it includes 7 songs. One of the songs on that album is named “Grey” and it’s the song you hear in the video above. Sam has been playing to a loyal and devoted audience for the last 7 years and now you have the chance to listen to her music for your self. The lovely daughter of Sally Struthers is described to have a “sensual voice and distinctive melodies are as beckoning and satisfying as sun-warmed sand.” I like how they used the “sun-warmed sand” to describe Sam Rader and just hearing someone described in that way makes me want to hear their singing. If you would like to hear more of Sam Rader, you can order from one of the links below:

iTunes or CD Baby

Be sure to pass the word around and let’s solve the “Grey” Mystery! Let’s make sure we let the people know that their video of two guys driving from L.A. to New York is being shown all over the internet right now! They deserve the credit and to let them know just how rad they are!

I have been following one of the most brightest and youngest stars at Youtube. Alex is someone that wants to be involved in the music business one day. She likes to sing and play her guitar; along with composing music too! You can see more of Alex’s videos at my blog Single Source Writing. I have been keeping up with her over the last several months and seeing what new things she is currently doing. If you would like to learn more about the young Youtube sensation, just go check out my other blog.

Alex Talks About Being On My Blog

There are already 25 posts at Single Source Writing that feature Alex. She is a 15 year-old girl from Mexico and I think she really has a bright future. You can see her singing in a lot of her videos and also you can see other videos that capture the talents of the Youtube Sensation. I think it’s just a matter of time until we see her singing on a stage like American Idol or acting in a show on the Disney Channel. It should be interesting to see just where this talented teen from Mexico goes from here. I think it’s amazing at how the places that carry videos like Youtube or MySpace can display the talents of others, that might otherwise go unnoticed. Go see more of Alex at Single Source Writing!

I see that Guitar World’s 100 Greatest Guitar Solos is on a list now. I was surprised that Money For Nothing by Dire Straight was not in the top 10 on that list. I think that is one of the best guitar solos I have ever heard. It starts at the very beginning of the song and that’s guitar playing to me. Another song I like is Sweet Child O’Mine by Guns N’ Roses and that guitar is at the beginning too. I like both of those songs in the way they take off right from the start with the guitar.

Their top 10 list goes as follows:

1. Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeplin

2. Eruption by Van Halen

3. Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd

4. Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd

5. All Along the Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix

6. November Rain by Guns N’ Roses

7. One by Metallica

8. Hotel California by the Eagles

9. Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne

10. Crossroads by Cream

Those are 10 great songs and its hard to deny that any of those songs don’t belong on the top 10 list too. They are some really great guitar players that are playing those songs above and I think a lot of us would consider them the best of the best. You know you have to include people like Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix when the word guitar is just mentioned. Eddie Van Halen is certainly someone that can hold his own and is a hero to a lot of guitar players. You don’t drop too far down the list when you start naming guys like Slash from Guns N’ Roses, Jimmy Page from Led Zeplin, Kirk Hammet from Metallica, Randy Rhoads with Ozzy Osbourne, and David Gilmour with Pink Floyd. Some bands have two great guitar players and you usually have to talk about both if you talk about one. Joe Walsh and Don Felder are both great with the Eagles. I know many people love Gary Rossington from Lynyrd Skynyrd, but you have to include Allen Collins too from Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Who are your favorite guitar players? I know the list goes on and on and you can still talk about guys like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Chuck Berry, Dimebag Darrel, Eric Johnson, Ritchie Blackmore, Brian May, Mark Knopfler, Tom Morello, Marin Barre, Steve Vai, and Joe Satriani. Are any of these guys your favorite? Please let me know if I left off anybody.

The American Music Awards 3 hour show last night was pretty entertaining to watch. Chris Daughtry had a good night racking up awards and I really like the Duran Duran performance. While the room was full of stars like Miley Cyrus, Beyonce, Kid Rock, Amanda Bynes, Ferige and Rascal Flats, the brightest star shining was Carie Underwood. She won 3 awards last night and these awards are voted on by the fans, so they probably mean more to the stars than some of the other award shows.

Wearing an unusual white dress the young country star made her way up to the stage on 3 different occasions. Each time she spoke after winning an award, you could tell there was a genuine appreciation for the award she had just won. Justin Timberlake’s via satellite speeches were weak and you could tell that he could care less about the American Music Awards show. I think it’s that southern hospitality that Carie Underwood has, is the reason she is where she is at right now. I also think it will play a huge factor in where she goes from here. I think Justin’s popularity is going to take a huge backslide as his two speeches had very little motivation in them and the fact that he didn’t feel like this award show was important enough to be there for in the first place.

Congratulations to Carie Underwood for a job well-done and representing the other country music artists that are out there too.

I see two of my favorite things came together over the weekend. Kid Rock who was performing near Atlanta at a place called Tabernacles, decided to stop by for a late night lunch. It was at a Waffle House; which stays open 24 hours a day and at this Waffle House a man came in yelling at a woman with Kid Rock. Now the man left and went outside and broke a window with his fist. After the window got broken; is when Kid Rock and his people ran into the parking lot at this Waffle House. A fight then broke out and several people were arrested and this included the famous Detroit Rock Star. Kid Rock did make bail, but his mug shot is now being shown all over the internet and the news channels.

I like a lot of Kid Rock songs and wish I could have seen him at the Tabernacle. The event was sold out and went pretty late into the night. It was around 3 or 4 AM on Sunday Morning when Kid Rock and his people stopped at this Waffle House. The Waffle House is a great place to cure the late night munchies. They have more than just waffles and you can get hamburgers and chicken sandwiches, or you can eat the breakfast menu at anytime during the day or night. The hashbrowns are really great and you can add a variety of toppings to them. You can get them smothered, scattered, covered, etc…, that’s the fancy way of describing what type of toppings you want on your hashbrowns. The chili is world-famous and that’s one of the things that many will add to their hasbrowns. Maybe Kid Rock had a chance to enjoy his  scattered and smothered hashbrowns before he got taken to jail.

Ok, I finally made it to number 1! I haven’t heard any complaints yet, so maybe I got this Elton John top 5 thing down ok? Hey Elton……if you’re reading this and you see my top 5 songs for you, please let me know how I done? I would love to hear how you would rank your top 5 songs!

Now is there really any doubts to what Elton John’s number 1 song of all time really is? There should only be one song that you think of, when you hear the name “Elton John”. I think Sir Elton John made this song so good that it’s not only being played on the radio still today, but I would imagine I will hear this song on the radio for the rest of my life. I won’t bore you with any more details and I will just go ahead and unleash the best song ever by Elton John!

The Number 1 Song by Elton John

Did you guess the right song for number 1? Did I pick the right one?

Yes, that is Elton John’s number 1 song of all time. It was a song dedication to one of the most popular actresses ever in America. Marilyn Monroe is just as big now, if not bigger when she was alive. She’s a jewel in many American’s Hearts and all of her accomplishments still live today, much like Elvis Pressley. The interesting thing about Candle in the Wind, was how a British Singer thought so highly of an American Actress to sing this song so beautifully and passionately; the way Elton John sung it.

It gets even more amazing when this song got brung back to life. A song that was dear to so many Americans and helped them cope with losing someone like Marilyn Monroe; was once again the medicine for another country. This time the trajedy struck in England, where Elton John is from and it was when they lost Princess Diana to a horrible automobile accident.

That horrible day will never be forgot by the British or American people and still so many questions still remain unanswered about that horrible crash that took the life of someone so young and still had so much more to give to the world in Princess Diana. It was unthinkable to think Elton John could use Candle In the Wind and turn around the lyrics to pay a tribute to Princess Diana. Not only did he do it, but the song for Princess Diana is just as good as the original one. So when you hear Candle In the Wind and you hear the name Norma Gene; you can rest assure many people will only think of Marilyn Monroe and now Princess Diana.

I don’t know how you did this Sir Elton, but my hats off to ya mate! So no way do I leave this 2nd edition of Candle In the Wind off, without paying tribute to both women that this song deals with. I’m not sure that any one man has ever brought two countries more together; than this one song that Elton John did for an American Beauty and a Princess from England.

Princess Diana’s Funneral (Part 2 Candle In the Wind)

Well were almost done with the 5 greatest songs by Elton John. I have already done the fifth, fourth, and thrid best songs ever by Elton John! So now I get to put in the 2nd best song ever by Elton John. This is one of the first songs that come to my mind when I think about Elton John.

This song was on the 1972 Album Honky Chateau. In 2004 Rolling Stone made a list of the 500 Greatest Songs of all time and this song was number 242 on the list and it ranks 2nd on my list of the best songs ever by Elton John. The song has been in cartoons like Family Guy and Futurama, as well as other popular cartoons. A baseball pitcher that is popular in New York and Houston would have this song playing at the ball park, every time he got brought out of the game. So to bring back a little bit of that music from 1972, here is the final song on the countdown, before we get to the top Elton John song of all time.

2nd Best Song by Elton John

So there you have the 2nd greatest song ever by Elton John!

There’s no room now for anymore songs, except for the best one ever. That is what will be up next and we will find out which song goes to number 1 on the countdown! The pitcher that was mentioned above was Roger Clemens just in case if you were wondering which pitcher I was talking about. So hang around and see what song I give the top honors to for number 1. Feel free to tell me the way you would rank the 5 best songs ever by Elton John.

We reached the middle of the countdown for Sir Elton John’s top 5 songs ever! You can go back and see what songs finished at 5th and 4th on the countdown. It’s tough choosing only five songs to list from Elton John, but I am scatching my head and trying to get this thing done.

Number 3 on the list is big in sales and the movie it was associated with. This isn’t one of the older classics that Elton John sang, but it has to be included in any top 5 you would do from Elton John. This song was really big and even today this is probably one of the most played songs on the radio by Elton John. If your kids don’t know the song, I’m sure they know the movie. They would probably hear this great Elton John song and would say something like “hey, that’s from the ______”; and would name this movie.

3rd Greatest Song by Elton John

3 down and 2 to go in the top 5 songs by Elton John. This gets much harder with only 2 spots left, to try and put in the 2 best songs ever by Elton John. Stick around and see what song will be number 2 on the list next. Any thoughts or suggestions on what 2 songs you think are the greatest by Elton John?
