What tracks, covered by The Shadows, do you think are best?
A couple I like very much are:
- South Of The Border;
- Chattanooga Choo-Choo;
- In The Mood;
- Proud Mary;
- Pinball Wizard/See Me Feel Me;
- God Only Knows;
- Riders In The Sky;
- Classical Gas;
- Don't Cry For Me Argentina;
- Baker Street;
- Mozart Forte;
- Raunchy;
- Africa;
- Time Is Tight;
- Moonlight Shadow;
- I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me);
- Heaven Is A Place On Earth;
- Eye Of The Tiger;
- Crockett's Theme.

If I were making up a similar list, I would definitely leave out:

- Chattanooga Choo-Choo;
- In The Mood;
- Riders In The Sky;
- Classical Gas;
- Don't Cry For Me Argentina;
- Africa;
- I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me);
- Heaven Is A Place On Earth;
- Eye Of The Tiger;
- Crockett's Theme.

Well, perhaps I'd have marginal trouble making up my mind about the last two, but not about the others.

You just don't like these or do you think they are not the best ones? What other tracks do you think are good covers?

SUPERSTAR - rec. 1974, rel. 1977

I like "Stardust." "High and Mighty" and "Blue Star," too.

Sorry Jim - two of my all-time favourites are 'Don't Cry For Me Argentina' and 'Africa'. In fact I played them at a charity event this afternoon!
Chacun à son goût.
