I don't care for "Beautiful" either and I'm another female saying that. It just doesn't do it for me - it drones.

I definately wouldn't play "Canary Yellow Canoe" either!

I disagree with not playing the country sounding songs though. My mom always said that she thought Gord was too "sad" sounding--- so I played "Mama Says" and she loved that one.
I think picking the songs depends entirely on who you are picking them for.
