 In 1998 "we've Only Just Begun" was inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame and in 2000 "Close To You" was inducted.
Which other Carpenters songs do you think have a good chance of one day being in the Grammy Hall Of Fame? |

Rainy Days And Mondays is a good choice. Everybody knows that song.

Superstar because it was nominated in the arrangement catagory (vocal accompanyment) even if it did not win. Also the parent album The Carpenters was nominated and did win a grammy. For these reasons and the fact the Superstar is often considered one of the best songs on that record I feel its only a matter of time before Superstar is inducted into the grammy hall of fame.   |

Enigma - very good reasons for "Superstar". I agree with you. It's a very well known and well loved song. It's one of the Carpenters' finest. I also feel "Rainy Days And Mondays" could have a godd chance.
A few others are "Goodbye To Love" and "Top Of The World".
I mention GTL because the song is very well known for Tony Peluso's guitar solo. This song is spoken about on many many web sites and by quite a few crtics to this very day.
TOTW is one of those songs which seems to have transcended the test of time. People really love this song. |

Rainy Days And Mondays is a good choice. Everybody knows that song. I agree. There are many Carpenters songs which should be in it , but I think this song should be in it first. Cheers, Ming |

 I have to agree with Roland - Yesterday Once More would certainly be one of my choices, and because not only is the song a wonderful, beautifully sung, meticulously orchestrated number, it came at a time when that was exactly what was going on in the music industry - I mean, it told the story of the fact that bands were dripping with nastalgia - many of them were doing some sort of nastalgic act in their shows, Carpenters being no exception - except that Carpenters took it one step further, they wrote in music and lyric what they were doing, and why. Beautiful song that I think should definitely be in the GHOF. My thoughts, Tim
