"The Essential Timothy Tunes"--Help so I don't go insane!!

[AEW21]

As I shared in the Milwaukee concert thread, my sister left the show utterly besotted over Tim, or as we know affectionately refer to him in texts, as "TBS." Only issue is that the only two songs she has featuring him on her iPod are the usual suspects--"I Can't Tell You Why" and "Love Will Keep Us Alive." And they're beautiful songs, but if I have to hear them again while driving with her, I'm going to strangle myself with a string from Tim's bass.

So I'm hoping you girls can recommend songs (preferably on iTunes) that show the range of TBS' abilities, and of his career. From Poco to the Eagles to solo stuff, share the essentials and the deep cuts that MUST be heard by any self-respecting TBS fangirl. Sadly, I don't know if she'd appreciate tracks featuring backing vocals or merely bass work, but if there's one that must be heard, pass it on.

I'd love to give her a list of perhaps 10-15 songs (don't want to overwhelm her) to broaden her horizons, so pass them along!

Here are my three faves - none are from his solo albums - the others on this thread will provide their faves from his solo albums. I think these 3 would be widely considered "essential"...

Poco's "Rose of Cimarron" - TBS at his most epic!!!!!!!!!! Your sister will never be the same.

Poco's "Keep on Tryin'" - Maybe his most well-known Poco song

"So in Love" from the Fast Times at Ridgemont High soundtrack - just for something a little different

All on iTunes. Enjoy!!!

Oooh, I just thought of another interesting one - Beach Boys' "Caroline No" - TBS fans, essential in the top 15 or no??

I never knew he was the one singing that version of "So In Love"--seen "Fast Times..." millions of times--wow! Too cool! Love it.

I'm going to get a great education here, too!

I love his most recent solo album Expando. I think every track on the album is good. It's quite different from his other albums.

I love Expando too, and would recommend Parachute and Friday Night, both on ITunes.

[Troubadour]

Can I add 'Downtime' to that list? One of my favourite songs from Expando.
