Subject: Nilsson Poll
Written By: CatwomanofV on 05/02/04 at 6:32 pm
I am not going to vote on this one because there are too many. My favorites are The Puppy Song, Coconut, Without You, and You're Breaking my Heart (a song that you will NOT hear on the radio-especially after the FCC is cracking down on obscenities. ;))

My boys LOVED the Coconut song when they were little but I'll take "Without You" by him...NOT that sick version by Pariah Carey :P

Harry Nilsson did well in both the '60s and '70s. :o
I voted for Everybody's Talkin' but like all three of these...
1. Jump Into the Fire (1972) <== one of the best songs of the '70s ;D
2. Coconut (1972)
3. Everbody's Talkin' (1968)
:D

Good album (I've got the CD) with four great '70s songs...
Gotta Get Up,Without You,Coconut and Jump Into The Fire, but one awful album cover. Harry N. in his bathrobe. Is that the best he could do? ::)

"Without You" is one of the most heart grabbing. nerve stripping, overdosing songs I have ever experienced ...........and one of the best written and recorded by anyone, ever! Thank you Harry! :)

Even though they're all good, I'll be the lone one to say "Me & my Arrow"  I miss that guy, they don't write 'em like that anymore.

I liked Everybody's Talkin' the best, even though I never saw Midnight Cowboy :)
I also love the way Oakenfold sampled it in 'Starry Eyed Surprise'. I didn't even recognize it at first :o

I love "The moonbeam Song" I'm surprised no one elese has made mention to the 1980 movie Popey featuring Robin Williams and the Soundtrack done by Nilsson. They remade the moonbeam song into the sweepea lullabye.

Actually the late Pete Ham and late Tom Evans of Badfinger wrote and recorded it, then they gave it to Harry who won a grammy in 1972 for his version ;)

Yup, he did. That is why I listed "other" because he did so many great songs.

Cat, The Beatles were being intervieved around 1969 and they were asked who do you admire as a singer/song writer? without hesitation and in unison they blurted out...."NILSSON!!"
I like all of his songs, " Without You" was special for me.

"Without You" WAS there but a lot of polls got messed up when the board crashed a while ago. That's why "Everybody's Talkin" is on twice.
