1. The Band - Up On Cripple Creek
2. Nilsson - Everybody's Talkin'
3. Genesis - Watcher of the Skies
4. David Bowie - China Girl
5. Fleetwood Mac - Seven Wonders
OK, they all feature human voices... they were all recorded before 1988... but I want something a bit more specific than that.
If you can solve it, supply one of your own.
2 of the songs I've never heard. 3 of them I haven't heard in many years. So, I am officially stumped.
They're all songs used in moviez
They each feature two parties with a disconnect. A difficulty communicating.
One party is isolated in some way.

No one has guessed the link yet. It may well be true that they have all been used in movies but that's not the answer.
So why don't you just tell us already, since apparently nobody knows the frelling answer?!
I suppose because I thought some people might find it fun? Members come from various time zones, it seems fair to give it 24 hours before giving the answer.
Hint: it's not so much the songs themselves, as their various contexts.
Don't you mean Foxtrot 3D?
Loss of...something.
Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.
Nope, nothing to do with loss. What poet are you quoting?
Each is supposed to be from the point of view of an elephant?
Dystopic futures and mythological pasts.....or something.
I expected better from you people.
The songs appear on the following albums:
The Last Waltz
Aerial Ballet
Foxtrot
Let's Dance
Tango In the Night
Has the penny dropped yet?
All the albums reference various dance steps.
What do I win?

So the songs chosen had no relevance aside from the albums they appear on. A bit of a wild goose chase...
Nothing, because when you see the titles all written down it's instantly obvious to anyone. Congratulations, you've done something anyone who can read could do!All the albums reference various dance steps.

Well, you're still kind of new here. Give it a little more time; you'll lose any expectations of us that you once had.

OK, Scott Balls can be said to have "got it".
And, to certain people who seem to have nothing nice to say in what was supposed to be a fun thread... thanks for nothing. If people have no interest in a thread, I don't know why they can't just stay out of it instead of spoiling it.

Wait, do you mean me? Read the thread title: "What theme links these five songs?"
Up On Cripple Creek is from The Band's second album, by the way - they just happen to do it live on The Last Waltz, so...
