This is a tough pick especially with songs like "Rainy Days..." and "Superstar", but I have to go with "Please Mr. Postman" - the song holds fond memories for me and I love Tony Peluso's guitar and of course Karen plays drums on this one.

Hi,
I chose TOP OF THE WORLD because it was one of their most famous hits. My family adores this song and everyone knows the words to this feel good song. A catchy uplifting song.
My thoughts,
Cameron

I chose Superstar (surprise, surprise) for the same reason outlined on countless other posts. The others were good contenders I do love them all.   |

Wow! This must be one of the hardest polls of all time, it was difficult to choose between all these great songs.
I finally landed on Superstar, my ultimate favourite of them all. I just love this song, Karens reading and the history behind her performance on this one. It just doesn`t get any better than.
But Top Of The World and Rainy Days... are right up there with Superstar.

I chose "We've Only Just Begun" because this song is truly their signature. It has trancended time. No other artist would dare to remake it because nobody could top Karen's vocals or Richard's arrangement. There is a wedding chapel in Las Vegas named after this song - so people continue to get married to it 34 years after it's release! It is the perfect combination of artist, vocals and arrangement. I also think Richard's background vocals are the strongest on WOJB than any other song they ever recorded. It's just a gem!!!

I went with Superstar. It's a deep dark dramatic song. Karen really proves that she's more than just your average singer with superstar, and everything she ever sang.  |

Most definitely "Rainy Days And Mondays." It's my all-time favorite Carpenters song. |

Well..., my choice is *Yesterday once more*... I'm just so proud that it's an original composition and that Karen plays the drums on it. ;D I love you Karen...  Roland C. |
