Re: most beautiful haunting melodies you ever heard?

Burt Bacharach (and even more the combination Bacharach/David) is such an exception of songwriting talent that nearly all other songwriters look pale in comparison. Lennon/McCartney, Brian Wilson (sometimes, not always), Antonio Carlos Jobim, Joni Mitchell - they come close, but that's more or less ...

Seriously, currently I check this forum once a week, and I'm glad it exists and I enjoy reading it. But anyways, I hope I can contribute a lit...

If you click on "Moderator: Mark", you get to the profile page. There you can see that Mark's last visit was "Sat Aug 14, 2010 10:06 am". He probably didn't notice this crappy spam attack yet.
