Maybe I'll wait a little bit more..., at least to let the chance to my friend Jim/JGH and some others great C's fans to speak out.
Even after showing the results, fans will still be able to give their *Top 10*..., I'll just keep the *Top 10* up to date... [glow=red,2,300][/glow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow][shadow=red,left,300]Roland C.[/shadow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow]

Hey Roland. Thank You so much for waiting for me! I can't tell you how happy I am that you kept me in your thoughts. My partners mother passed recently and we are still adjusting. The last 10 yrs of her life were really bad, so we have comfort in knowing that her pain is over.
My top 10 is always changing but I think these songs are constant.
1. SONG FOR YOU 2. BABY ITS YOU 3. ROAD ODE 4. YOUR WONDERFUL PARADE 5. MASQERADE 6. SUPERSTAR 7. KISS ME THE WAY YOU DID LAST NIGHT 8. LOOK TO YOUR DREAMS 9. LOVE MAKIN LOVE TO YOU (unreleased) 10. Midnight(unreleased)
Well thats my top 10 as of 6:30AM Friday. It almost impossible to choose, when every song is a treasure. JIM

Hey Roland! I see we are the early birds. Thanks again for waiting for me!!!!xxoo. I was wondering how your CD is gowing? I found your notaton method very interesting. Mine look something like this. Cmaj7 BbMaj7 G F E 4mes D 2me B A I put the chords on top and the inversons underneath. The melody stays in my headLOL! It really takes time to come up with good stuff but I like to experiment. The Key board was a challenge I spent my whole like paying the sax which is a one dimensional insturment. Much easier, very cut and dry. JIM

Tough to narrow down such an incredible collection of music.....I'll have to start with what I would consider the best song Richard ever wrote...
1. Yesterday Once More 2. This Masquerade 3. Maybe It's You 4. Only Yesterday 5. Road Ode 6. Touch Me When We're Dancing 7. All You Get from Love Is A Love Song 8. Superstar 9. Two Sides 10. Rainy Days & Mondays
close to the top ten......I need to be in love, Ticket to Ride, I won't last a day....and many others in my heart...

Hi Roland, this is neat. What are the numbers after each song? How did you come up with the top 10. Did each song listed get one point? Or did you start with 1 point for songs at #10 up to 10 points for songs at #1?

Post by karen69roland on Aug 29, 2004 12:37:30 GMT -5
Hi Rick...
The first number is : How many times the song was included in a Top 10. For example..., *Only Yesterday* was included 8 times.
The second number is : The total of the positions. For example..., *Only Yesterday* was on position 8, 2, 1, 3, 3, 1, 4, and 4 for a total of 26.
The third number is : The average position of the song. This is useful for comparing songs that were included the same number of times. For example..., *Only Yesterday* and *Road Ode* were both included 8 times, but, *Only Yesterday* had a better average position, 3.25 compare to 4.13 for *Road Ode*.[glow=red,2,300][/glow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow][shadow=red,left,300]Roland C.[/shadow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow]

I have come up with an alternate Top 10, I guess we can call this THE CARPENTERS ONLINE ALTERNATE TOP 10. I used a different point system than Roland. In the case of a tie I referred to Roland's list to break the tie. So here goes: THE CARPENTERS ONLINE ALTERNATE TOP 10 1. Only Yesterday 62 2. Road Ode 55 3. Superstar 39 4. Yesterday Once More 30 5. Two Sides 29 6. I Can't Make Music 29 7. Solitaire 28 8. Maybe It's You 26 9. This Masquerade 25 10. Rainy Days And Mondays 24 and... 11. Making Love In The Afternoon 24

What is your method of coming up with a top 10 Rick? Either way it looks like the top 3 are in a firm position no matter what method is used and a great top 10 no matter who does it or how they do it. Nice idea Roland!

Thanks enigma..., you're very kind.
I did it for all of us...
I hope those who didn't get the chance to show their Top 10(and the new members) won't be shy to collaborate.
Isn't this fun, Rick?[glow=red,2,300][/glow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow][shadow=red,left,300]Roland C.[/shadow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow]

Hi enigma and all! The point system I used is; I gave each song at #1 ten points on down to one point for each song at #10. I'm a stats person. I'm always on top of numbers, sales, anything to do with numbers and progression. I've also come up with the TOP 8 albums, according to THE CARPENTERS ONLINE ALTERNATE TOP 10 LIST. Here goes... The Most Popular Albums... 1. Horizon 124 2. Close To You 116 3. A Song For You 111 4. Carpenters 110 5. Now & Then 84 6. Passage 61 7. Karen Carpenter 57 8. Made In America 41

Hi Rick...
I just want to explain why I didn't use the method you use...
I think it's cool too, but, check this...
Let's says a song(A) was included in 9 *Top 10*(which is tremendous) at position #10... Another song(B) is included only in 1 *Top 10* at position #1.
Song (A) would have 9 points..., and song (B) would have 10 points, so, a higher position...
To me, this is not logical..., Song (A) should have a higher position..., because there's A LOT more people loving it.
Nothing personal...
Please don't delete this post..., I put a lot of love, time and positive energy into this site... I'm just giving my opinions like everybody else. [glow=red,2,300][/glow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow][shadow=red,left,300]Roland C.[/shadow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow]

Hi Roland, nobody is disputing you here. This is all for fun and entertainment. I think we can all share and enjoy each thread in the way that each of us percieves it. I enjoyed your top 10, and I am only elaborating on it. That's what a forum is all about - to communicate different thoughts and ideas. I think this is one of the best threads going right now, and I'm glad you came up with the idea.

You Know it does not seem to matter what method is used look at the lists they are almost identical. So a song is #5 instead of #4 no big deal they are still in the top 10 most loved Carp songs and the top 3 are identical so again I do not see a major difference with the different methods logical or not (I do not think Ricks method is necessarily illogical).
What is interesting about these lists is that they are almost identical to my personal opinions on the best Carpenters songs and albums. I have never been on to go with the crowd and I stick to my opinions and find I like alot of music that others would consider as Richard would put it ashtray material; just found it interesting that my tastes seem to reflect the majority; not used to that. Cool
KAC Fan 4 Life!!!!
