What are your favorite C's songs that other C's fans usually don't like?
"Goofus" and "B'wana She No Home".

8-)I do like Goofus too and I have heard of but not personally listened to B'Wana She No Home. I never was that crazy over the old song Jambalaya...the old Hank Williams version, but after hearing it once or more the C's version...I like it I think because of the softer harmony on the chorus...and of course because of the C's...!...their Midas touch...

For me its Crescent Noon. I am not sure why this song is in the least liked catagory I think its a beautiful song. I am not sure of the criteria for least liked songs or which songs are in that catagory. Perhaps Rick can clarify this maybe with a list or something.

I am not sure of the criteria for least liked songs or which songs are in that catagory. Perhaps Rick can clarify this maybe with a list or something. Here's a brief list. This list is compiled from the voting polls on the Carpenters Online trivia, etc. page, which is found at: www.carponline.bravepages.com/page%203.htm. (give this page about a minute and a half to load - it contains a lot of information and takes it's own time) Since the albums "Voice Of the Heart" and "Lovelines" aren't in the polls I added a few songs from those albums based on what I observed from discussions on this forum. Following is the list: These could be considered some of the Carpenters' least liked songs - but this is only subjective. Notice there aren't any songs from "Horizon" here. What's The Use Your Wonderful Parade Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing Help Another Song Saturday Druscilla Penny Flat Baroque Piano Picker Crystal Lullaby Heather Jambalaya Sandy Goofus Breaking Up Is Hard To Do Man Smart, Woman Smarter B'wana She No Home Somebody's Been Lyin' At The End Of A Song Prime Time Love Slow Dance Regardless, I still love all these songs. They are all quality music with excellent vocals and spectacular musical performances. |

I have to admit I was surprised to see some of the songs on this list! While I can understand why Druscilla Penny might be there (although I have always liked it) I simply don't understand why another song is on there which I have always loved and Heather is absolutely the nicest instrumental Richard ever did in my opinion! Jambalaya is so much fun and a BIG IMPROVEMENT on the Hank Williams original so I can't understand that choice either. I have also heard Rode Ode panned quite often -- another all time favorite of mine because it really touches that part of me that has always felt "outside" and "misplaced" - like I am far away from home.  |

Of course this list was made from the way people have voted only on this website. Though over 400 people have voted on these polls, so this is a small representation of what fans like and don't like by the Carpenters. After posting this list I have to say I also like "Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing", I really like Karen's drum work, and also the fact that it's written by Neil Young, an artist you generally do not connect the Carpenters with. "Jambalaya" has also always been a favorite. Same with "Prime Time Love". |

OK of this list its Crystal Lullaby and Another Song love Karens drumming in the latter song even if it isn't at the top of my most loved Carpenters songs and the former is an underrated and often overlooked gem on the Song For You album. I agree all in the list are good songs in one way or another (after all the are Carpenters songs)

Crystal Lullabye has always been
a huge favorite for me and then
its segways right into another
great power ballad Road Ode, which
segways into A Song For You reprise
which is so hauntingly beautiful!
All three of these songs really
touch my soul musically. I can't
imagine how they would come in so
low in a poll.
It is interesting to note that there is not one song from Horizon
on the list. I wonder if this makes
Horizon there #1 album? And to think Richard thought it was weak.
