Re: Top 3 Gord recordings?
 
Mine are partly offbeat songs, with no thought given to everyone's response to my choices, but based on what I keep repeating over and over:

In no order:

1.Is There Anyone Home (In That House Made of Stone)
2. Beautiful - was Merry and my song as a couple
3. Too Late for Prayin'

Cheating:
2.9 That Same Old Obsession
2.91 Your love's Return

alternates - if the others get a flat or something

1a Now and Then
1b All The Lovely Ladies (as fezo says) In Their Refineries Tonight lol

steveo, the top 3 survey closed (as advertised) this past Sunday night - if you had got your entries in then TLFP, TSOO, YLR and NAT would have made the final poll

...as it stands, All the Lovely Ladies is still in the running and you labeled it as 1b so i figured it's still in your top 3 and no need to boycott, lol

btw, Beautiful was a Billboard charter so not elgible as per originally stated jj guidelines

BillW...I really wanted to choose 2nd Cup of Coffee as it's right up there with my 'standard' faves Ordinary Man and It's Worth Believing...I also love the On Susan's Floor track

I wasn't clear but when I said Gord song recording, I kinda figured this implied that folks were to choose Gord only songs, oh well:) ...I should have known that corfidians are always looking for loopholes...and BillW is no exception, lol

note: you still have time to choose DQ in the final poll, Bill

Sorry jj, I guess I wasn't paying attention, LOL. Loopholes are a beautiful thing indeed !

2nd Cup of Coffee would be a great choice as well. DQ is such a good album. Makes picking favorites harder.

1st: "Shadows"
2nd: "A Lesson in Love"
3rd: "Restless"
Found it hard to leave out "Much to My Surprise" and "End of All Time".
And, as others have said, the list could change tomorrow.

Going back to my top 150 list for "my top 3" here. ;)

Mine are :

3. Seven Island Suite from the Sundown LP.

2. My Love For You (From "Harry Tracy")

and #1 still is, "End Of All Time" from "Harmony".

I knew they released Shadows & Salute, but hadn't seen the other two. After 35 years of Gord records, tapes, & cd's, some of which I bought two copies of (& never took the wrapper off one copy), I still don't have everything. I copied "Affair on 8th Ave." from vinyl, but it did have scratches. Tried copying the tape version this morning, which is a little better. I never emailed a recording before, but if that works I'll send it. I do remember having a s**t fit when I saw they left that off the CD. Ended up yesterday making "one" Gord favorites CD. I wound up putting 20 songs on it before I ran out of room.

At the moment, my favourite Lightfoot recordings, not including the ones that charted on Billboard, are: The Pony Man (Gord's Gold II version), Alberta Bound (Gord's Gold II version), and Too Much To Lose.
