Lew Bundles Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Let’s Pretend (sorry) that a friend of yours is sick of you waxing poetic about EC and finally relents and says to you, “Make me a CD of his stuff” and I’ll tell you what I think”… What is the WORST ten songs that you could compile for your friend to reaffirm his conviction that “EC sucks”… Don’t worry about the running order, just 10 lousy songs(there may be more than you think)… 1.) Everytime I Make Love To You 2.) I Could Really Love You 3.) Marathon Man 4.) Everything 5.) My Heart Stops 6.) Lost In The Shuffle 7.) You Need Lovin’ 8.) Reason To Try 9.) Spotlight 10.) As Long As We Got Each Other I realize that there are a few on this list that he didn’t write, but man o man, I hope my “friend” never hears them… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that song! You're gonna have to come up with another to fill the void. My list is filled with additional tunes to skip when playing an Eric Carmen "Marathon." Plenty to choose from. 😜 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew Bundles Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 While I dislike Marathon Man immensely, I edited out one of its double entries in the list and replaced it with Lost In The Shuffle(another ugh fest)… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 The only 3 I could bring myself to write down are: "You need some lovin", "Almost Paradise" and "Tonight you're mine". The worst of the rest of the catalog are at least good songs. P.S. one day Lew will have to answer to his God for listing "Everything". : ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Okay, I'll add, Living Without Your Love- that makes 8. This makes my list legit, since Boats Against the Current only had 8 songs hahahahahahahahaha! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 What am I missing? Both Lew and Craig have “Marathon Man” on their lists. Crazy. There isn’t my a single moment in the song I would change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew Bundles Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 I don’t like Runaway either…(I was afraid to mention it before…Thought that I might get my moderatorship revoked…) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Gosh, Doreen chose "Runaway" AND "Cartoon World". But at least, as opposed to Lew, she had the guts to post Runaway, and didn't post "Everything". But still, even the gulag is too good for her. Better she be banished off to "Lew's Lair". Heh. You guys deserve each other. : ) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Interesting to read everyone's responses once they let their hair down. Normally there is nothing but praise for Eric's songs- as it should be- he's a great songwriter who has more quality songs per album than 99% of the artists out there. For me, he has practically written the soundtrack of my life. To see so many of his songs make different people's 'bad' album is a little disconcerting. What I think is even more interesting is that I 'assumed' that because we all liked Eric's music our taste in songs would be very similar with regards to Eric's music, but that is obviously not the case. Some of the songs on a few of your lists have been an eye-opener. Carry on... PS- if Eric were still posting here, I doubt this thread would have gotten off the ground. Can I get an Amen?!? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Eric is secure, I'd guess it would interest him what sings are his fans' least favorite. It would me if I were him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Benfer Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Even though Marathon Man made my list, I don't really dislike it. I actually only dislike half the songs on my list. The REAL crowd murmuring would have started if I had listed my 11th song...She Remembered. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 MM and She Remembered are both also on my border list, on my least fave EC songs list, but given the greatness and consistency of his catalog, that certainly doesn´t mean they are bad songs, ...in fact they are both, overall, good songs, so I will not list them here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Now 'She Remembered' is being whispered. I'm not standing next to any of you in a lightning storm... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
