I played her greatest hits CD (the first one, from 1976) for six hours straight. Is that strange?

I was surprised to learn that "You're No Good" and "Heatwave" are both covers; I've never heard anyone else sing them.

is that the one that goes: you're no good, you're no good, you're not good, baby, you're no good?

I'm trying to think of who did that song before. It's an R&B song I think.

Every song that Ms. Ronstadt put in the American pop top-40 is a cover, iirc.

"Different Drum"

I used to have such a crush on Linda Ronstadt.

From the looks of her recently, she may could put a crush on you.

I only know as much about her because my mom was a huge fan so we were treated to hours of Linda growing up.

Incidentally, I threw in for Silver Bells and Golden Needles. I'm suprised no one chose Desperado.

Linda Ronstadt.

As I donīt know her older Songs,
Iīd go for her Duet with Aaron Neville:
"Donīt know much"

Pity, you didnīt include it in the Poll,
but I suspect it hadnīt been out in 76
(came out later, second half of the 80s AFAIK)

Got a Presidente (at least in name) named Fox, another politician named Bartlett, a friend with last name of Nelson, another with last name of Spohn-Webber, all Mexican.

Not to mention Salma Hayek.

There are all sorts of non-Spanish last names of people here.

She was born in Tucson, Arizona; but there are Hispanics born every day in the States.

The songs on the poll are the play list on her 1976 Greatest Hits album -- which I probably could have made a bit clearer in my first post.

It's the only CD of hers I have, though recently I've been considering expanding my collection. Linda is one of the artists that saved 70s music.

Those of you who haven't heard of her -- DOWNLOAD SOMETHING! Maybe go to Amazon and play a few album clips -- anything from the poll will do, although my personal favorites are Long, Long Time and You're No Good. I'm sure you know her, you just don't know it.

I'm sure of 2 things.

1) They're jackasses.
2) No, they have no relationship with damned fine music.
