Hey, what's your favorite Tanita's song?

[ina]

i just loooove "And I Think Of You", "If I Ever" and "Stop Listening" what about you?

[Hikka]

Stop Listening was the first song I heard from Tanita knowing it was her performing it and I was immediately in love with the music. I still love it a lot. (And a bit more.) Other good songs at the moment are We Almost Got It Together (I love the "yes, this girl is the swing" part of it.  ), Over You All and Feeding The Witches.

[bluedog]

My top 5  

1. Stop Listening
2. Twist In My Sobriety
3. If I Ever
4. Good Tradition
5. You Make The Whole World Cry

Wauw , that's a hard one for me ...
I have lots of favourite songs ...
But here are some of my top favourites ...
They are not in any particular order ...

- World Outside Your Window
- I Love The Heaven's Solo
- Hot Pork Sandwiches (acoustic version)
- Poor Cow (has me singing all the time  )
- Over You All
- Twist In My Sobriety
- We Almost Got It Together
- If I Ever
- Let's Make Everybody Smile Today
- He Likes The Sun

It was nice to see some songs in other versions
on the cd singles .
That's why I prefer the 'Hot Pork Sandwiches'
acoustic version on the 'Little Sister Leaving Town'
cd single then the version that's on the 'Everybody's Angel' album .

Do some of you own the live in Norway video ?
I watch it regularly ... I luv it ...

VERY difficult question.

Lately i've been playing IDWLAL (the single version).  When I play it loud, I just feel hypnotised.  It's wonderful  Have to be careful not to break the speed limit when driving, because it's so pacy and the groove seems to gorw out of nowhere.  great stuff.

i'd say about 90% of Tanita's songs have at one stage or other been my 'favourite'  

[PoorCow]

Although my initial response to the Cappuccino Songs album was lukewarm at best, I clearly remember I Don't Want To Lose At Love being one of the better moments, along with Amore Si and Stop Listening. Undoubtedly it is the one single that lent itself well to the remix treatments, especially the Asian Dub Foundation's version (I have yet to meet anyone who enjoys those Twist in My Sobriety remixes).

I Don't Want To Lose At Love is a peculiar song. Even after all these years I am surprised at how edgy it sounds.

Its good to hear that Tanita has at some point been recording something new. There's a glimmer of hope on the horizon! I have been a huge fan since purchasing her 1st album as a young teenager in 1988 and have followed her carrer with enthusiasm since. My all-time fave track is 'preyed upon'. Her vocals in this song are truly breath-taking and it is a fabulous song to sing. But I love everything really. Other strong selections for me include:  

You make the whole world cry
Feeling is gone
Sometime with me
And i think of you
Lilttle sister leaving town
Cathedral song
To drink the rainbow
Deliver me
Only the ones we love
Heal you
Woman who cheat on the world
I like this
Redemption song
Stop listening
I love the heaven's solo

In reply to PoorCow, I think the 'Twist' remizes were generally quite good, with the Phil Kelsey Vocal mix getting quite a workout on the turntable in its day! I agree that the Asian Dub Foundation version of 'I don't wanna lose at love' is a triumph.

Can anyone point me to a place on the web to download rare appearances/collaborations etc... without having to trade???

[PoorCow]

Well, I stand corrected on the Twist in My Sobriety remixes: someone does like them after all. I should have mentioned in my previous post that I can't pretend to understand the aesthetics of the dance music genre particularly well. I'm far to old and cranky to have spent much time in clubs. I do not doubt that these remixes succeed in the specific goals set out for dance music. Still, I can't help but think that many of the nuances that make Twist such an interesting song are bludgeoned by the incessant beat used in these later versions.

On the other hand, that version of Good Tradition with the wonky organ solo that was featured on the Still Listening single really impressed me.
