After listening to the samples my favorite will be 'Waiting For You' but I half to get it first.

My favorite album has to be "Waiting for you". I think it shows GL at his most introspective and initmate best. Its a very mature album with personal themes, and fabulous melodies in it that are so attractive while being so sad in many ways too. The opening two tracks and closing two tracks are my favorites here, but the middle section is excellent too.

My next choices would have to be:
2) "Salute" (I absolutely love the songs "Romance" & "Biscuit City").
3) "East of Midnight".
4) "Don Quixote".
5) "Sundown".

My least favorites are "Cold on the Shoulder", and "Dream Street Rose". I guess GL seems to be forcing it a bit there on COTS (IMO), while DSR has too much of a 'country' feel to it I think...

Carolyn,

You can find his music through any major music outlet, either online or regular store. The bigger the store, the larger the selection usually. Even Walmart carries the occasional Lightfoot album. CD Universe, Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com etc. all carry his CDs. And early next year, he has a new CD being released, "Twenty" which we're all looking forward to.

OH My GOSH!:eek http://www.corfid.com/ubb/eek.gif A thread I haven't been in!! Until now. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif Easy answer,"Sit Down Young Stranger" (or the other title if you like). This one's tops because while the other GL albums have songs I like a bit less than the others,there is no song on here that I don't like. Those of us the most familiar with GL know the songs on here and they pretty much speak for themselves. I prefer the real title because that's the way it was originally intended.

Borderstone (Hello! :) )

To me, taking the albums as a whole of the man, and not of the labels he recorded under, it seems that Sundown is the hands down winner for best album/masterpiece. It has the kind of consistent strength of Billy Joel's, "The Stanger" and The Beatles, "Sgt. Pepper's", with the one slightly weak song, The List. The Stranger has, "Everybody Has A Dream" and Sgt. Pepper's has, "Fixing A Hole". But Don Quixote is an extremely special album. There's magic and inspiration there. I'm partial to IYCRMM, because it was the first one I bought. That album shows an incredible growth in maturity and songwriting skill. He was no longer the boy in For Lovin'Me and Steel Rail Blues (even though it's a fictitious song), he was the man of IYCRMM and Your Love's Return.
