Somebody To Love is one of my favs, Darryl!

Here's my nominations:

Daniel - Elton John

A very moving song

Soldier Blue - Buffy St Marie

And Daniel is my favorite Elton John song after Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Dappled ! You have my vote on it.

Once when I was helping on a "Themed" radio program for a 'middle of the road' AM station, we were trying to find 45 minutes of Sisters And Brothers songs. We were stuck for one, so we finished up using Daniel (My Brother..).

I think bazooka insulted our Original Australians by comparing them to Jethro Tull Katie ! A didgeridoo would be much more painful than a flute if used incorrectly. Although the flute does put one of Ian Anderson's feet to sleep. He has to jump around to get the circulation going in it.

Nominations:

Dancing in the Moonlight - Toploader

I was made for lovin' you - KISS
