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...
