Favorite Christopher Cross song? (Cheese alert!)

[phillybri]

I know the cheese alarms are sounding at full volume right now, but goddammit, he's got a few good tunes!

Any takers?

1. Where's "Ride Like The Wind?"

:shrug:

[phillybri]

4. There you go!

Good catch...

[CatWoman]

10. damn

I selected "sailing" before seeing the addition of "ride like the wind".

I love the ending of that song!!

[tsakshaug]

2. Except for sailing....

and the Arthur song...I don't know any of his stuff.
So sailing is his "best"

[NightTrain]

6. Trust me, you ain't missing much.

I always found his singing voice rather annoying.

[CatWoman]

11. you're such a fucking grump!!

:D

3. <sigh> Memories

of the sun setting while making your way casually back to the port. Calm seas, light breeze, a large jug of an inexpensive (cheap) Chablis hanging by a rope into the cold lake Superior water...listing to "Sailing" on the FM radio. The sound of wind in the sails and the water slipping easily past the hull.

God I miss that..............

5. Was never caught between the moon and New York City

and I never 'got' Christopher Cross.

[tsakshaug]

7. all I really remember

was his album had flamingos on the cover.

and he was proud that this was a stage name or somthing stupid like that

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

8. Another one to include, if you can:

"Forever" (with Alessi)

[bbernardini]

9. Christopher Cross can tear it up on the guitar!

Check out the solo at the end of "Ride Like The Wind" on his live DVD. The man can play. My wife and I drove about 4 hours each way to see him last summer and it was worth every minute. (Keep in mind that I'm normally a Frank Zappa kind of guy, if that means anything.) Heck of a nice guy, too. We chatted for a few minutes after the show, discussing the state of the concert industry post-9/11.

12. "Laura" used to make me cry

when I was little. I heard it on the radio a few years ago and chuckled remembering how tragic and deep I thought it was. SO cheesy.

[NightTrain]

13. It made me cringe!

14. The easy-listening death song genre

The Titanic song, "Wing Beneath My Wings," etc. Yecch.
