this might be fun. (we do it occasionally in the "goddesses of rock in roll" yahoo group that i belong to, for different artists.) list your top 10 favorite herb alpert songs (in order). any era, any song.
the order is important as the higher up the song is the more points it gets. after new years i will tally them and post the results. wonder what single song this group as a whole, likes best?
also list comments if you want. (i'm sure it will be fun reading all you die-hards comments.) (i'm as die hard as they get)
i'll start with mine. (these are the way i feel today anyway.) as you all know they could change at the drop of a hat. (also if you want, i'm doing one on the sergio section too)
1. the charmer (for me, the definitive tijuana brass song. so charming and relaxed and fun and yearning)
2. the sea is my soil (love it for it's complexity. and it takes me to many places. oh when oh when will they release "warm?")
3. the love nest (i think herb alpert's 9th may be my favorite album these days. what a delight this song is. from the bette davis movie "june bride")
4. what now my love (a good example of herb covering a song, and making it all his own)
5. a banda (stunning. stunning and vibrant & unique)
6. bo-bo (deceptively simple. another "charmer")
7. and the angels sing (i love when it takes off in the middle)
8. mexican road race (herb rocks out. so cool)
9. mae (pretty so pretty. and grand. and fine)
10. casino royale (on other days, this could top my list)
