I'll make this simple. All GL songs but a very select few. I'm not saying I "hate" those few but they just don't seem (in my opinion) to match Gord's style. Some are the one's he didn't write himself like,"Pride Of Man". Some are the ones influenced by trying to sound modern or "hip". 1/2 of the "Endless Wire" lp is good the other 1/2 sounds like an unfortunate cross between Fleetwood Mac,The Eagles and Gary Wright. Lastly,some of the rock like songs on,"Salute" sound like they should have been done by .38 Special. I just prefer that Gordon either does Folk,Country or his easy-going brand of Jazzlike pop tunes. It's been Borderstone,outta here and A.B. !
