Well, I was GOING to say "I'll Make a Man Out of You", but SOMEONE (Til T-T) beat me to it.

Eh. I'm not a fan of Glee. I haven't heard a single one of their songs that I liked better than the original, and I've heard both their Season 1 and Season 2 soundtracks, thanks to a certain cousin of mine.

Let me introduce a new view to this thread: not pop, but Broadway. ; D I know a lot of people know Wicked and Sweeney Todd and Avenue Q, but there are so many great songs from more "obscure" shows. Let's see... (Of course, I'll add some from the mainstream shows to my list, because I love them, but I'm mixing it up.)

It Won't Be Long Now- In The Heights
Blackout- In The Heights
Enough- In The Heights
Carnaval Del Barrio- In The Heights

I'm Alive- Next to Normal (a favorite)
Make Up Your Mind/Catch Me, I'm Falling- Next to Normal (another favorite)
Superboy and the Invisible Girl- Next to Normal
Why Stay/A Promise- Next to Normal

On The Willows- Godspell
Alas for You- Godspell

Defying Gravity- Wicked
No Good Deed- Wicked
Dancing Through Life- Wicked (another one of my favorites)
The Wizard and I- Wicked

Close Every Door- Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

At the End of the Day- Les Miserables
Who Am I?- Les Miserables
Little People- Les Miserables
Do You Hear the People Sing?- Les Miserables
One Day More- Les Miserables
On My Own- Les Miserables
Bring Him Home- Les Miserables

One by One- The Lion King
Endless Night- The Lion King

Feed Me (Git It)- Little Shop of Horrors
Suddenly Seymour- Little Shop of Horrors

I've Gotta Crow- Peter Pan (another favorite)
I'm Flying- Peter Pan (favorite)
I Won't Grow Up- Peter Pan (again... favorite)

The Music of the Night- The Phantom of the Opera
The Point of No Return- The Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom's Lair- The Phantom of the Opera (This one is hard to find. It's the finale of the entire show, and doesn't show up on some soundtracks. I got it under this title from the Original Canadian Cast album, if anyone wants to listen. It's awesome.)

Pirelli's Miracle Elixer- Sweeney Todd
A Little Priest- Sweeney Todd
City on Fire!/Final Sequence- Sweeney Todd

Jet Song- West Side Story
America- West Side Story
Gee, Officer Krupke- West Side Story

I'd Do Anything- Oliver!

...and I just realized how massive that list is, so I'll stop. xP If anyone tries and likes stuff on that list and wants similar recommendations, I have loads more. That's only thirteen shows, so...

Edit: Fixed so it's separated by show, instead of one massive block of songs. ^^

I love all of those less 'main-stream' titles :3. But by far West Side Story and Little Shop of Horror's are my favorites out of those! As for Glee - I'm a fan, but that's about it.

... Don't like Avenue Q, but I do like Repo! The Genetic Opera. Heh. Sorry if I turned this into a favorite Broadway Shows thread..

Just gotta say, all the music from the musical Grease is a-mazing! ;D

[verence]

Eh, Grease has always been more "meh" to me. Like, if there's a musical everyone knows, that's it, but it's not one of the better ones, I think. Like, there are so many shows that deserve more recognition but don't get it, and then there's Grease...

Part of my bitterness is that our school is doing Grease this fall, even though NOBODY wants to except the director. So of course, even though she lets us vote, she still picks one nobody chose. But I didn't like it anyway.
