| Great Thread, I LOVE great Melody, So here's my five:
1] Don't let me be Lonely tonight- James Taylor, it's been covered by Eric Clapton and Michael Brecker. Is there a songwriter in the world that makes complicated stuff sound simple like JT?
2] Naima- John Coltraine, Just great melody!
3] James- Pat Metheny, He has so many great ones, but I played this one for a friend of mine from church last week who had no jazz background. His comment "it sounds like a great hymn",
4] Old Folks-Miles Davis, Great melody and sick trumpet solo!
5] Round Midnight- Thelonious Monk. Great lyrics, powerful melody line and extremely advanced harmonically like all Monk.
I love Steely Dan, Stevie Wonder and it was impossible to leave them out. For Stevie: For once in my life, and Steely Dan: Do it again . I concentrated on songs not solo wankers or great CD's. Too me what makes a great song is a melody that sticks. My CD list would probably be different, but how can you do a five best list? maybe a ten best next time?
