Alright, I'll be the odd man out on this one. I couldn't possibly do without "Waiting for You." 15 years after first buying it, it's still my favorite album ever. And it just doesn't get the love it deserves. When I found out it was out of print, I bought two extra copies. Having somehow lost them both (I later recovered one), I downloaded the album from iTunes (it's still available there!).

I get the impression Gord knows that it's a great album, even if it doesn't get rated among his best. He still plays the title track and "Restless" at every show, and if I recall, I think he played half the album at the recorded/televised Reno show.
