Rooster_Ties Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) Similar to the 1 album - 1 artist, the essentials thread, this is for favorite/essential TUNES. NOT recordings of tunes per se, but the compositions themselves (as compositions). Name an artist, and name ONE tune written (or co-written) by them that is your choice for THE best (or YOUR favorite) composition in their entire book.
