Yes well James Sorry to say that I for one do not recall such a thread here BUT there was time in this fair land when a certain prominent GL fan had on her magnificently cornucopial website a listing of every song recorded by Gord all nicely tabulated alphabeticlly and showing on which album(s) each song appeared on, plus clicking any song title would play a 30 second sample of the recording to refresh your memory.Sadly back in 2004 she decided to stop fighting the powers that were and took most of her website down, then revamped it and reuploaded it as a general folk music website with a special emphasis on Gord.
However the page in question lives on but now each song title links to a lyrics page only whereas the previous sample links were most useful
BUT there is website that has 260 audio samples it is called amazon .com!!
try
http://www.amazon.com/Gordon-Lightfo...5246702&sr=8-8
scroll down a tad and you should be able to see this
As an example of a sample go to page 5 and then click on Seven Island Suite a Sundown album page appears and then scroll down to see a play button:-
If having selected a song and opened the relevant page as in the example above you then click the "play all samples" button as indicated by the mouse cursor in that screenshot the sample of your selected song as featured on that page will play.
Unfortunately the 260 songs have been sorted in order of download popularity rather than a more logical and useful order such as alphabetically or by album so you have to hunt and pick and I do not know whether every song on the hallowed 20 albums is included. but it seems to me to be a viable alternative to the by album listing on
