Nilsson -- Coconut (1972)
The Edgar Winter Group - Frankenstein (1972)
Short list? I bet we could come up with hundreds of titles, but I'm trying to stick to the cream of the crop. Which is hard... but fun!
It's a rolling short-list LOL. Like, the next 5 I want to see nominated. When those are done (either by me or someone else), then I think of 5 more. I have to wait out timing bottlenecks, so this method keeps me in the game, so to speak, until I can post again.

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
I think it's b/c a live version can be very VERY different from the version that charted. People have in mind "oh, I know that song" and then hear a live version and think WTF?
That's precisely the reason. The videos are there to either refresh your memory of the song or to listen to it for the first time. It has to be the studio version, unless a specific published live version is being nominated. The only one off the top of my head I can think of is the live cover of "Because the Night" by 10,000 Maniacs.

Think of it as creating the ultimate playlist from your CDs. (Remember those?)
Why, yes I have over 500 CD's and just to be a stinker, a shitload of them are "Live" albums!!! LOL LOL LOL
Seriously, I always felt "live" versions were better in most cases, than the studio version. Longer and more creative. That's why my music collection has an inordinate amount of "Live" albums.

Classic James Bond....
Shirley Bassey - Diamonds Are Forever (1971)
Karen Carpenter had one of the most beautiful voices ever. Our list needs several Carpenters songs. Here's one:
The Carpenters -- Top of the World (1973)
Guys, I'm afraid I (though still technically a moderator) am still not fit to keep to the rules or even read them, or read the whole thread through. So I apologize in advance if I do it all wrong, because will have to do it in this one single post, hoping and praying it will be counted in
Bears second:
The Doors - Waiting for the Sun (1970)
Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song (1970)
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Have You Ever Seen the Rain (1970)
David Bowie - Life on Mars (1971)
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jean, you can only second one nomination at a time, so pick your top one.
Here are the rules in a nutshell: for threads #1-2 you can nominate and second if someone else has made one nomination or seconding, and for threads #3-14 you can nominate or second once two other people have made their nominations and seconds. This obviously doesn't apply to the very beginning of a thread.
Chicago - Saturday in the Park (1971)
