Really interesting analysis on the one level, but it would have been better to wait until a topic has ran out of gas. Basing it on just 33 votes and one week's length, is hardly relevant.

Oh, should he have waited until a total of 50 people dropped their favorites?

I appreciate the tallying done by Tygrrius, and it's more interesting than random postings of YouTube video links.

This isn't a Taylor Swift discussion forum but one for a singer dead nearly fifty years. The relevance of this particular discussion is equal to any of the scores of similar topics posted here in the past two decades.

Which is to say, only relevant to this membership.

It seems odd you're suddenly finding the discussion worthy, whereas on the first page all you could manage was a joke list - as many of us could have predicted, as you were producing similar "joke" posts on similar discussions for the last twenty years.

Member with at least three or more login names across the past two decades here continues his off-topic attacks on posts I make.

He can't stop, won't stop.

Sorry, folks.

How The Web Was Woven

Pieces Of My Life

Great list! Mostly, though, I wanted to say, I'm glad you referenced the song that is your screen name. Otherwise, I would've had to ask.

[rlj4ep]

How The Web Was Woven
Lovin’ Arms
We Can Make The Morning
It’s Only Love
Pieces Of My Life

An interesting list...., I can honestly say that on any given day any or all of those 5 songs would be in my Top 10 Elvis songs of the 1970's. IMHO, "We Can Make the Morning" is an underappreciated gem..., it's too bad we don't have any other takes of this one.

Yes but the undubbed mix that we got on the Back In Nashville box set was really good IMO….and in great sound quality.

[Wayfarer]

Burning Love
Whole Lotta Shakin Goin On (unedited)
Fairytale
Promised Land
Way Down
TROUBLE
Always On My Mind

As Ciscoking said, it's one's own list. Long live variety and whatever soothes or pleases the individual's mind. Mine, at this moment, changed from yesterday and keeping my listening pleasure ever-young:

Snowbird
How the Web Was Woven
Talk About the Good Times
The Last Farewell
Love Coming Down

The pleasures felt will ebb and flow repeatedly!

[Ciscoking]

Amazing...thanks for all the nice inputs besides one or two who wanted to derail this topic...always
the same anyway..Just dont notice..its the best.
Glad this topic developped this friendly way ..
Thanks to all good members of this forum.

[Walter Hale 4]

As for me,

Bridge Over Troubled Water
Early Morning Rain
Tomorrow Never Comes
I'm Leavin'
Merry Christmas Baby (as in the long eight-minute version)
Burning Love
Promised Land
T-R-O-U-B-L-E
I Can Help
Moody Blue

plus two honorable mentions, if i may

.Always on my Mind (because Elvis was more of the King of the Balladeers, let's be honest)

.I've Got Confidence (because Gospel music, we know, was very important to Elvis and here he and the imperials sounded very inspiring)

[Ciscoking]

Accepted..

[midnightx]

How about one from each studio year?

Off the top of my head today:

1970
Life

1971
Miracle of the Rosary

1972
Fool

1973
My Boy

1975
Woman Without Love

1976
I'll Never Fall in Love Again

Tomorrow might be different. It's a mood thing.

Pretty hard to top that list of pure gold, but these are fine alternatives:

This Is Our Dance (1970)
Padre (1971)
Where Do I Go From Here (1972)
Love Song of The Year (1973)
Susan When She Tried (1975)
He’ll Have To Go (1976)

[Ciscoking]

You are allowed to add 4 more..but not by year.
Just pick whatever you like. I really dig
This Is Our Dance..Susan When She Tried and He'll
Have To Go...nice picks..thank you...mate.
Also John is invited to add to a few more.
John...your picks look unusual ..glad you love
these underrated gems anyway..great Johnny.

It's a shame they didn't work on it for longer. I think it's a decent song - certainly as good as something like It's Only Love - but the version we have is, to say the least, rather ragged, especially in the background vocals.

Tasty list there.

[Gary Crawford]

Burning Love
Promised Land
Way Down
Moody Blue
Always on My Mind
Stranger in My Own Home Town (1970)
I'm Leavin
Lovin Arms
Good Time Charlie Got the Blues
I Really Don't Want to Know
Merry Xmas Baby
Don't Think Twice It's All Right/I Shall be Released
Stranger in the Crowd
She Thinks I still Care (bluesy version)

I think the allowed picks are up to 14 now? This would be my list today but it could be different tomorrow. Yes' I sneaked in an extra in terms of a an informal in studio Dylan Medley! Cisco apologies for my joke list, hopefully not one that contributed to derailing the thread as it was meant tongue and cheek. These threads/topics are always of interest as it just illustrates how diverse our preferences are, yet there are a handful that the majority can not but like and have on their favourites list.

[Ciscoking]

All is fine ..my friend..great great picks btw...much appreciated..

Washed My Hand In Muddy Water
Burning Love
