After reading her(?) list, I think it would be interesting to know the percentage of songs on our lists were written or co-written by Buffett. This list is what - 20%? Off the top of my head, 8 were not, but I'm not positive. I'm wondering about my own list now!

Not sure what the exact criteria is for what exactly makes a Jimmy Buffett song a Jimmy Buffett song . . . but Banana Republics in the top ten?
Um, what next - Southern Cross or Brown Eyed Girl or Mexico?
THAT is a little disturbing.

the hit and run is as good as any religion around this time of year . . .

Southern Cross did receive a couple votes so far, and that's fine.drunkpirate66 wrote:Not sure what the exact criteria is for what exactly makes a Jimmy Buffett song a Jimmy Buffett song . . . but Banana Republics in the top ten?

The others that you mention...he has recorded on studio albums. We are ranking HIS recordings.
I'd have a problem if someone ranked "You Can't Always Get What You Want" or something like that...

Thats cool . . . I just lean way in the direction of songs Jimmy wrote himself based on things he knows and has experienced. Sort of a historical view of exotic places at more simpler times that have relevance in our own lives.
Banana Republics is a great song. I just feel that Jimmy has written more than enough himself and that those songs should be the focus.

And I'm sure many people agree....thus 9 of the top 10 (so far) are songs he wrote!drunkpirate66 wrote:Thats cool . . .
