My top three are
"Learn to Live Without" - IF/THEN
"Starting Over" - IF/THEN
and "Raining" - ROCKY

I think that the entire Beautiful soundtrack takes the cake! Carol King is probably the best song-writer ever!

Seeing as I'm pretty much only going from cast albums, I'd say "One Second and a Million Miles" is the best I've heard yet. That could change after I hear If/Then and the full Rocky recording.

Only going off the shows I've seen, and only original songs (sorry A NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN, "Eye of the Tiger" and much of BEAUTIFUL with one exception:)

"1650 Broadway Medley" from BEAUTIFUL
"Almost Real" "One Second and a Million Miles" and "It All Fades Away" from BRIDGES
"I've Decided to Marry You" from GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE
"Raining" and "Fight From the Heart" from ROCKY

BONUS: Zachary Levi's performance of "In Love with You" from FIRST DATE, which elevated a meh song to a showstopper.


Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

Anything from "Bridges," although I have a soft spot for "Another Life" -- the best song Joni Mitchell never wrote -- and "It All Fades Away." The "Rocky" score is wan, at best, and I haven't yet heard "If/Then" and the new "Aladdin" material. And as much as I love "Gentleman's Guide," nothing tops what JRB has given us this season.

Haven't seen Rocky or Bridges yet - so a little skewed

But I love Slay the Dragons and Be the Hero from Big Fish
Always Starting Over from If/Then
In Love with You (because of Zac Levi's performance) in First Date

Extra Cheat-anything from Beautiful because I am a fan of King, Mann and Weil


If I say the banana song from Bullets will I be killed???? JK
