I am a big fan of The Carpenters. I've got all their albums and listen to them regularly. Are there other fans out there?....if so what is your favourite Carpenters song?

Calling Occupants is one of my faves, along with For All We Know. Karen had such a soothing voice.

I am a really big Carpenters fan , it's nice to see a thread here about them.

Some of my favourites are Beechwood 4-5789, Prime Time Lover, Tryin' to Get The Feeling Again, Now, All You Get From Love Is a Love Song, Druscilla Penny, actually i could be here all day listing them .

I'm also a big fan of Karen's solo stuff.

Almost impossible to choose between Hurting Each Other and Superstar.

i love them. they had so many good songs, way too many to mention. i loved karen`s voice. someone mentioned `tryin` to get the feeling again` that is a hidden gem!

Probably an obvious choice, but I adore "Rainy Days and Mondays".

Solitaire, Superstar, Yesterday Once More and Sing are my favs

Jambalaya is my favourite.

Solitaire,Yesterday Once More,Calling Occupants,Top Of The World.

Loved Them For Years...Fav Songs, Now, Those Good Old Dreams, Sweet Sweet Smile,Only Yesterday,We've Only Just Begun,Superstar, I Won't Last A Day Without You, (They Long To Be) Close To You..

Close to You, Superstar, and Rainy Days and Mondays are my favourites

Rainy Days and Mondays
All You Get From Love Is a Love Song

I love their music but listening to it is always tinged with sadness because of Karen's tragic and untimely death. Don't think I could pick a favourite!

I adore them! Currently, my favourite is Only Yesterday

I urge people (who already haven't) to buy their 1975 album Horizon. That is sublime and possibly the best album they ever recorded.

Yesterday Once More is my favourite. I also love Solitaire and Only Yesterday... Being a Carpenters fan is not that clandestine!

Hurting Each Other is my favourite song from them.

Karen's voice was just magic.

Solitaire is such a lovely song and Karen's voice is so well suited to it, it makes it almost impossible for others to cover successfully. Oh, those low notes!

Superstar, Close to you, Calling occupants of interplanetary craft.

thank you for this thread!

Goodbye to Love is my favourite.

Mmm, have this song in my head now. Lovely song.

^ This.

Also like 'Calling Occupants...'

Dammit, I'm going to have to dig my Carpenters CD out now.

Another vote for Only Yesterday from me

In a word...yes

Love The Carpenters. I have everything they ever recorded. Karen had a voice of pure gold.
It's a shame they are still, to a degree, seen a sugar sweet pop. They released some very good songs. I wish I could get a hold of the Karen Carpenter film with Cynthia Gibb. I know I cry each time I watch it. such a tragic end to her life.
My favourite tracks are - Now, Rainy Days & Mondays, I Need To Be In Love, Only Yesterday, For All We Know, Eve, Where Do I Go From Here?, Two Lives

Masquerade is my favourite.

I don't think there's a Carpenters song I haven't at least liked. My favourite track tends to switch around but I'd have to say their cover of 'There's A Kind of Hush,' is my current favourite. Come December it'll be 'Merry Christmas Darling' - I love the 'Christmas Portrait' album.

I used to listen to 'Touch Me When We're Dancing' and 'Yesterday Once More' a lot when I was growing up because I had them on a mix tape.
