Hey,
I'm trying to download songs from Les Mis, and I want to get some opinons on which songs I should download. What are some good songs from Les Mis?

Ah, Les Mis, always a good musical. If you want familiar songs, I'd suggest "I Dreamed a Dream", "Red and Black" "Do You Hear the People Sing?" "On My Own" and "One Day More." If you want lesser well known songs, I'd suggest "Valjean's Soliloquy" and "At The End of the Day." The finale is also very good, even thought it's not technically a song but, well, a finale. There are so many good songs it's hard to decide, really!

If you want just three, cos I know downloading songs takes time!

1. On My Own
2. Bring Him Home
3. One Day More

They are the best ones IMO, but the list CherylA928 is the best if you want some more. But yes, the CD is a good idea.

Don't miss Phillip Quast's version of Stars. It rocks!

Oh, you mean from the Tenth Anniversary concert? Yes, Philip Quast's "Stars" is absolutely amazing. He does that song great. Ah...I nearly forgot "Bring Him Home". So many good Les Mis songs, it's hard to pick just one :)

Well, Philip is also on the CSR and Manchester recordings, but IMO his TAC performance was the better of the three.
