I've particularly always like a painter passing through. When listening to the songs, there's this sense to it that makes you feel that even though Gord is old, he's able to look back on his life and know that he's lived life to the fullest extent, and he has no regrets. Not that he's done living, mind you. ;D

Right now, probably Shadows and Old Dan's Records.

Auburn Annie 01-27-2006 07:25 AM

The next one, LOL. Seriously? Probably Don Quixote.

Glenmark 01-27-2006 12:23 PM

Probably Cold on the Shoulder

The Gypsy 01-27-2006 05:03 PM

Summer side of life. How could it get any better after IYCRMM. SSOL is the album that kept me hooked.

Borderstone 01-27-2006 06:31 PM

Oh,boy! :rolleyes: & ;) at the same time! I knew this question would return someday! :D

It's not that easy for me James,one out of all?

The best I can do is a multiple 8 way tie:

Did She Mention My Name?

Sit Down Young Stranger A.K.A. "If You Could Read My Mind".

Summer Side Of Life

Sundown

Cold On The Shoulder

Shadows

East Of Midnight (all but 2 tracks)

Harmony

Shutup and Deal, I'm Losin' 01-30-2006 07:50 PM

Well I guess so it's better than a 20-way tie!

Janice 01-31-2006 05:32 PM

Summer Side Of Life, for me!

BILLW 01-31-2006 07:41 PM

DON QUIXOTE !

Bill :)

I'm one of those fans that owns collections. For years, I owned Gord's Gold and now I play "United Artists Collection" nearly three times a week. So, ..uh ..is that considered an album?

talbot10 02-07-2006 06:42 PM

That is a tough one! My to five are"
1) Shadows
2) Dream Street Rose
3) Sunday concert
4) A painter passing through
5) Salute

I'm relatively new to GL. I owned GG on tape about 20 yrs ago and lost it. I was young and restless and was more into the harder rock. I've mellowed into classical over the years but had some restless moods, like recently. I've found that GL is a perfect fit for me because of the mix he offers and the lyrics are a deep well to draw from. I've ordered all GL's original music cd's and so far I have 7 album's worth. UA,IYCRMM,SD,and SSOL. So far, I'll go with THE WAY I FEEL from the UA. A close 2nd and 3rd would be IYCRMM and SD. ...but I reserve the right to change my mind as new cd's pop in my mailbox...unless...IYCRMM? Ahem...Is there anyone out there who envies my situation? I mean...isn't it like being a kid again?

Welcome, Marc. Enjoy your new collection and keep buyin! By any chance are you going to make any concerts of Gord's this year?

Sheryl

marc in maine 02-28-2006 12:18 AM

Sheryl, hi. Yes, possibly. I'm trying to convince my wife to go to Concord, NH on Aug 4. That's her birthday! I might be blowing it though. She's not a music lover like me (her hobby is breeding labradore retrievers)and Ive been playing the heck out of GL in my house lately. I may be trying to ripen her too fast. I need to be more gental. What I'll do is pick my spots and just the right GL song to thrust little arrows in her heart. She'll drop like a late September apple and we'll be on our way. Should be easy with Gordon there and it worked with Alison Krauss!

Sheryl 02-28-2006 01:26 AM

LOL, Marc. Good luck!!

LSH 02-28-2006 10:05 PM

Waiting For You

<formerlylavender> 03-01-2006 07:07 AM

Don Quixote

SilverHeels 03-01-2006 07:52 AM

today - Don Quixote. :)

marc in maine 03-03-2006 04:58 AM

Just received yesterday: Summertime Dream cd
This could become my favorite. &lt;fitz, suppose to care, protocol, too many clues&gt; I need more time.

Sheryl 03-03-2006 11:31 AM

This is a hugely popular album, enjoy!

marc in maine 03-10-2006 12:03 PM

I finaly received Dream Street Rose, Shadows and Salute. I'm very impressed with the first two. There's not a song I don't like on them. They both make it on my top 5 list. I'm disappointed in Salute. I've read high reviews on this but I put it on my bottom 5. I now have all the original song cd's and only waiting for Sunday Concert cd. My overall preferences are starting to take shape!

brink- 03-10-2006 12:40 PM

I like Biscuit City and Salute the best from the Salute album, everything on the Shadows, and everything on Dream St. Rose - with a low mark for Auctioneer.
Sunday Concert is great too.

Shutup and Deal, I'm Losin' 03-10-2006 02:12 PM

I like Salute pretty good, except for Knotty Pine. I don't like All I'm After on the Shadows album at all.
