20. TAKE :: 126 songs
Inevitably, this was going to get silly quite quickly. There are so many "Take" songs of brilliance, its hard to know where to start.
So, I've immediately overlooked all of the superb mega-hits. But that's no reason why anyone else should.
Here are some of my favourites:-
Take Good Care Of My Baby - Bobby Vee Take Me I'm Yours - Squeeze Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand Take Me To The River - Al Green / Talking Heads Take These Chains From My Heart - Ray Charles
And, once again revealing my weakness for country-pop-rock songs, I've gone for a pair of tracks from the early 1970s. Both of these would undoubtedly be in my Top 100 tracks of all-time.
Take It Easy - the Eagles (can you believe this was never a hit in the UK ?) Take Me Home, Country Roads - John Denver (although I could easily have picked Olivia's version)

Well obviously as the number of songs increases, so do the number of great songs you want to show.
I love it when the really old ones also have videos..

Let's go back to 2001 for this one, credited simply to Gonzales at the time but he is also known as Chilly Gonzales and seems to have changed that credit to this song too Take Me To Broadway

I'll wait to see if anyone else posts my final song, which was a hit in 2004, not as high a chart position as it should have been but the band are well known and had a #1 single in 2006

Obviously this is a masterpiece (to me). Practically a Christmas song winning Eurovision.

By the time it made Bizarro, they'd swapped the last two words for an exclamation mark, but it's the Peel session twin guitar attack that remains the definitive version to me.

One of my favorite 1980's songs from one of my favorite 1980's albums…
Another song I like is "Take It to the Limit" by the Eagles, but I can't find a video of the studio version (all say it's not available due to copyright issues in the US…)

One of the highlights of Bizarro, lasts about 9 minutes.
Seems at the time I was one of the few who liked Bizarro a lot more than Seamonsters.

Nobody has yet even mentioned the song from 2004, nor the song from 1986 that was UK #1 on my favourite top 10 of all time, although it wasn't in my chart that week but a few months earlier.

A bit of a marmite song on here, but I'm pretty sure Berlin's 'Take my breath away' would be my #1, or close to it!

I actually thought when this thread started that 'Do' would be in here somewhere, and I would go with Do Re Me (So Far So Good) by the mighty Carter USM, making refererence to the fact that the Do here was a homophone but that this seems to be within the rules. Unfortunately, I had a busy day yesterday and on every count Earl Purple beat me to it, fair enough. Do is a funny one really, because as an instruction to dance it has appears at the start of a lot of very dubious records - Do The Conga, Do The Bartman, Do The Funky Chicken, there's quite a few of them and they universally refer to things I wouldn't want to do. Has anyone mentioned Do They Know It's Christmas? by the way? Certainly the best selling Do song, and not a bad one in my humble opinion. I'd also like to mention (some of which I know have already been covered)... Do I Love You? (Indeed I Do) by Frank Wilson Do I Wanna Know? by Arctic Monkeys Do It Again by The Beach Boys Do You Love Me? by The Contours Do You Realize?? by Flaming Lips Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful? by Paloma Faith My Favourite Do song by a long, long way though, and close to my favourite song ever, has to be this work of indie disco genius.

And now for Take, I don't have so many of these as favourites. All very good though (and in many cases very obvious) are...
Take A Chance On Me by Abba (Take A Little) Piece Of My Heart by Erma Franklin (often just referred to as Piece Of My Heart, but the parenthesis is on Apple Music and I'm pretty sure it is on my 7" vinyl copt from when it was reissued in the 90s too) Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand Take Me To Church by Hozier Take On Me by Abba Take Your Mama by Scissor Sisters
One I'm pretty sure no one else would post though, and one that pretty much sums up my feelings about the monarchy and this economic union which we Brits pretend is a country, is Billy Bragg with the excellent Take Down The Union Jack

Has anyone mentioned Do They Know It's Christmas? by the way? Certainly the best selling Do song, and not a bad one in my humble opinion. Do Re Me (So Far So Good) is completely legitimate, as the only grounds for inclusion / exclusion is spelling, and not meaning or pronunciation. And I agree, Do They Know It's Christmas never gets the credit it deserves for being a memorable, well crafted song.
