 Yes, this is a tough decision and I want to think this one out a bit - so I will come back with my choice and comments on some of the selections in this poll.
I love Karen's drumwork. She was outstanding in her style. Her style was intricate with heavy influence from early jazz progressions. |

Another Song was my winner here dispite some tough competition. Karen simply lets loose and really demonstrates her great drumming ability on this song. Karens drumming is harder and more complex than on any other Carpenters studio recording I would love to see this performance live.

I had to go with "Another Song" also. What a poerhouse song. The entire song is musically outstanding. This shows the Carpenters' versatility as musicians. They were much more than just your average pop group. Karen really go wild in her understated way on the drums here. What a great performance.
Though, I chose "Another Song" i must make worthy mention of Karen's drums on: "Please Mr. Postman" - the rhythm is driving on this song and Karen's drumwork made it even more exciting.
"This Masquerade" Karen proves that you do not have to thrash and bang (though, I do enjoy this technique on many of my rock and roll favorites) to be interesting on the drums. Karen's work here is intricate and refined. Karen was an outstanding drummer.
"Flat Baroque" - This quaint instrumental is a great vehicle which shows off the great musical talents of Karen, Richard and the other musicians who performed on the song.
"Your Wonderful Parade" - I almost voted for this song. Karen's drumwork is excellent. Great job Karen. |

I'm not sure what year this recording is (Karen is wearing yellow), but I love to watch Karen's eyes as she is playing a more complicated section/transition while singing on a 'Rainy Days and Mondays' recording.
