speaking of great songwriters ill take harry

He really is kind of odd to me this was really his only big hit. He has a lot of great songs. But I have to go with Tim McGraw on this one i'm no fan of country music but I am a fan of great songs, while both are great for the the appeal to Don't Take The Girl just hits home.

McGraw

Question: As the off season dwindles down I plan to have some sort of playoff to determine a song of the day winner. Do you all feel we should have each song selected or choose a winner for each week and have each weekly song enter the playoff?

Day 5:

Tim McGraw: Don't Take The Girl


Harry Chapin: Cats In The Craddle

I kinda knew my answer before listening but I listened closely to Don't take the girl for any reason to choose it. While this isn't my preferred genre, I can like any song from any genre and on that note, the chorus from Cats in the Cradle is too damn catchy to bypass.

Harry, and it's not close.

Is there a vote in there?

My vote is....neither?

Ok Cats in the cradle because it's been remade sooo many times.

 

[Southieinnc]

Is there a vote in there?

oh, yeah!


Chapin......

 

[BigKen]

No question, Chapin.

When ya comin' home Tom?

 

[YankeeRebel]

Cats in the Cradle is another one of those heard it to many times songs for me.

 

[Debbie Does]

"The cat's in the kettle at the Peking Moon" is one of the better song parodies on years.

Cats in the Cradle is another one of those heard it to many times songs for me.

My father abandoned us at 10 years old. We had just moved to California.
He told my mother he was going back to Boston. Turns out he moved across town and started another family.
Never heard from him again. He died while I was in the Army. He ain't coming "home"

That is a pretty kick ass tune. I am undecided at this point. SRV IMO is the best guitar player ever and easily my fave I am pondering this one.
