Best Don McLean Songs

The Top Ten
1 American Pie

I was surprised I haven't listened to this song yet until now.
I like the melody, the storytelling lyrics and the catchy instruments of this amazing eight minute rock song.

My personal favourite is "Vincent", but I was so surprised to see this at #2 that I gave it my vote. Songs like it don't come along very often.

A song dedicated to the day February 3rd 1959 the loss of legends Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper. Great Lyrics and melody, how Much better can it get?

2 Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)

This is one of those near perfect masterpieces - for subject and lyrics, melody and delivery

This manages to capture the intense beauty of Van Gogh's paintings.

This is truly so soft and beautiful. Wonderful song.

Absolutely amazing song
