Do you have one?

Post by phtnt »

OK this is a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyway because I just can't help myself. Does anyone have an all time favorite Buffett song? I can't even answer this one myself. Everytime I think this is my favorite, I hear another one and think,no this is my favorite.

Actually, I DO! It's between two, which sounds contradictory, but there is a reason. One is "Banana Wind". I absolutely love the song. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT. But it lacks Jimmy's lyrics which tend to take me away when I need it. So, because of that, my (other) favorite song is "The Weather Is Here..." It's the most classic example of escapism I know of, and for that, it is my all-time favorite Buffett song.

It's really hard to say, but if I had to just pick one to listen to, it would probably be One Particular Harbour. Very tough question though

I never was able to answer this question because there ARE so many to choose from.
Then I heard "Far Side of the World."
NOW I have an answer.

Good response to a question with no answer. I'm not sure why I even asked. Like I said, dumb question, but it does make you think :-?

My all time favorite is Come Monday. I have to admit, it may be because I have loved it for so long. In concert, there is nothing like One Particular Harbor...

I'm still waiting for that perfect love song from Jimmy. Nautical Wheelers and Come to the Moon are the closest I have.
I wanna go back to the Island...

See you in Boston, September 2nd!

My favorite JB song seems to change from week to week. But when I really think about it, Boat Drinks always seems to be the one that gets me in a great mood. So, although I usually have a "Song of the Week", Boat Drinks is probably my fav. :lol: :lol:

One Particular Harbour always gets me going :lol: But I also love JB's slower songs like Changing Channels and That's What Living is to Me 8) In the City is also a BIG fav!!!

One Particular Harbor (on Feeding Frenzy). Nothing gets my blood pumping more than those steel drums at the end and Nadira's voice. Jimmy's lyrics just sum it all up at the beginning and bring it home. This song will lift your spirits even on the most down days, and just pump you up when you wanna let lose and have fun.

A favorite? I have lots, but really not just one. For the past year, Cowboy In The Jungle, School Boy Heart, early long time favorite Banana Republic. This is the problem when you start naming them, Last Mango, then Pacagoula Run.............................it never ends. A good problem to have. Thank you Jimmy.

I don't know that I have a favorite JB song - different songs for different moods.

BUT, we did name our daughter Delaney!
:D

couldn't agree with you more nw, i possibly think it may be one of his most "pumping up" (for lack of better words) song he has....

Best Buffett ??

Tin Cup Chalice works for me no matter what mood i'm in, so i would have to say thats my favorite.
I hope that all the greedy bastards in the world
Come back as lobsters.
You know that life at the bottom of the food chain
Suits them well.
I think that all of the evil people of the world
Come back as horseflies,
They want one last bite before they're sent to hell.
