Great idea though! ;)

[Don Quixote]

Don Quixote

Second Cup of Coffee
Brave Mountaineers
Ordinary Man
Looking at the Rain
Alberta Bound

I really hate to put any of these songs toward the bottom of the list--the bottom 5 are just about as good as 2-6.

I'm not sure my mind is really made up on that list. However, I'm only keeping that list for now because I tend to replay Ode to Big Blue once or twice after the album is over. I usually point out what my favorite songs on an album are by trying to figure out what songs on that album I have the inclination to repeat.

[Shazia]

Alrighty; a few hours have passed and I have decided to swap Patriot's Dream with Ode to Big Blue. :D

[marc in maine]

I'm with you sister !!

I loved your selection list as well.

... save for their order :)

Mike since you are at the bottom of the world, you probably like it from the bottom up? ;)

[Winter's Claw]

I missed this thread the first time around--stumbled upon it searching the archives. My order:

1. Ordinary Man
2. Looking At The Rain
3. On Susan's Floor
4. The Patriot's Dream
5. Christian Island
6. Beautiful
7. Second Cup Of Coffee
8. Brave Mountaineers
9. Alberta Bound
10.Don Quixote
11.Ode To Big Blue

The hardest part was trying to decide where to put "Beautiful"--I ended up sticking it in the middle. "Ordinary Man" has always been favorite from DQ, whereas I've never liked the title track too much; it's a nice tune, but it doesn't do much for me. "Big Blue" I find to be not very musical.

[Kelly Davis]

This is a very underrated album.

1. Beautiful (I played this at my wedding. When I met Gord the first time, we told him this and he was moved. I asked him to dedicate it to my wife and I the next night for our 10 year anniversary(we saw him 2 nights in a row!!) and he did!!!! It was probably the most moving moment at a GL concert for me ever.
2. Don Quixote
3. Christian Island
The rest of the songs all fall somewhere even for me.

[BILLW]

1. Second Cup Of Coffee
2. Don Quixote
3. On Susan's Floor
4. Christian Island
5. The Patriot's Dream
6. Alberta Bound

If there was a higher ranking than 1 it would be Second Cup Of Coffee, LOL.

[fezo]

So tell me, Bill. How do you feel about Second Cup of Coffee? ;)

Great song. Don't blame you.

[Mair]

Do any of you feel anything?!?

Looking at the rain ...

You win ...

Isn't there anything else ?!?

[walls]

Favorite Don Quixote songs; again, a wonderful album, chop full of great tunes. After listing each song in various orders various times, I couldn’t agree on a ranking for each, there’s not a bad song in the bunch. Therefore, my listing is simply a list of all the songs on the album, with no particular order:


Looking At The Rain
Ordinary Man
Second Cup Of Coffee
On Susan’s Floor
Brave Mountaineers
Christian Island (Georgian Bay)
Don Quixote
Beautiful
Alberta Bound
Ode To Big Blue

You have to realize that I would put this list into two columns, Looking At The Rain through Brave Mountaineers and Christian Islan through Ode To Big Blue, in order not to demonstate any preference. Oh, I love them all!
