_jr_ Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Ok, Songfacters...or in this case, Songfactors, I never thought I'd need help burning a cd, but I do. I want to burn one of mello stuff, all from the 70's. I know I could easily come up with 80 minutes worth of music on my own but I'd like to get some suggestions. Maybe you good people with impeccable taste in music can give me a few songs I may not have thought of otherwise. Here's what I have so far: I Can't Tell You Why ~ The Eagles Take It To The Limit ~ The Eagles Tuesday's Gone ~ Skynyrd Angie ~ The Stones One More Time ~ Skynyrd So, I guess I'm also kind of looking for a bit of a southern flavor, as well. Lay it on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Dave, great minds think alike... If you are downloading these, search "AM GOLD" and go wild.. Here is my contribution, more to come as they occur to me. Pointer Sisters, "Fire" and "Slowhand". Harry Nillson's "Everybody's Talkin'" Seger's "Against the Wind" Johnny Nash's "Hold Me Tight" and "I can See Clearly Now" Ken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 I agree, although I don't know what a shiznit is... Never mind the double cd set, toss it all on a disc in MP3 format and get yourself 4 hours worth of boogie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purecharm459 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Lets not forget The Carpenters! Specifically, "Close to You". When I was young, I used to hide their albums under my bed when my friends came over. It was definately not cool to admit one listened to the Carpenters. :happybanana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_jr_ Posted November 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Well thanks to all who contributed. I burned my cd last night, and listened to it at work today. Obviously, I couldn't use them all, and some suggested artist's songs, and I used the artist, but a different tune. All in all, I think it came out pretty good. It has a definite mood. Here's the cd, in order.: 1. Imaginary Lover ~ Atlanta Rhythmn Section 2. Against the Wind ~ Bob Seger 3. Drift Away ~ Dobie Gray 4. It Keeps You Runnin' ~ Doobie Brothers 5. I Can't Tell You Why ~ The Eagles 6. One More Time ~ Lynyrd Skynyrd 7. Just Remember I Love You ~ Firefall 8. Operator ~ Jim Croce 9. Night Moves ~ Bob Seger 10.Tuesday's Gone ~ Lynyrd Skynyrd 11.Classical Gas ~ Mason Williams 12.Helpless ~ CSN&Y 13.Take it to the Limit ~ The Eagles 14.Baby Come Back ~ Player 15.Angie ~ The Stones 16.Diamond Girl ~ Seals & Croft 17.I'm Not in Love ~ 10CC Comes in just over 78 minutes. I believe Classical Gas is from 68 or so, but hey, it's my cd, right? Special thanks to whom ever it was that suggested 'Helpless'. I'd forgotten what a wonderful song that is.
