The staff at Playbill.com decided to share a few of our favorite things from Rodgers' vast catalogue and celebrate the composer who gave us the scores to The Sound of Music, Oklahoma!, The King and I and Carousel, as well as trunk loads of American standards.

Playbill.com photo editor Matt Blank selects "This Can't Be Love" from The Boys from Syracuse. Here's Dorothy Collins (Follies) belting out the tune on "Your Hit Parade."

Playbill.com senior editor Andrew Gans picks Nancy LaMott's rendition of "I Didn't Know What Time It Was," which was penned for Too Many Girls.

Playbill.com staff writer Adam Hetrick couldn't make up his mind, so he's sharing a few: "The Carousel Waltz" (not to mention the musical underscoring when Carrie and Billy finally kiss after "If I Loved You"), "Something Wonderful" from The King and I and "You're Nearer" from Babes in Arms.
