If I knew how to do the Poll thing ..I'd start a Poll for what is thought to be the least..but alas I don't...

APPT...seems to have a number of least favorites... maybe this is the least favorite album...don't know. (..but I respect joveski's remark about APPT)

Does anyone have the # copies sold of each album. .. ??

Summertime Dream or Sundown were his most sales ...weren't they??

Had a grin when i read about grabbing the remote to "skip" a song. I do that too..of course.
Doing the 'skip' play as your listening to an album is certainly a clue to how you much you like the song...
But depending on my mood ...I'll even skip songs like Beautiful ..
so its not a defining moment just a 'sign post' for me.

I have heard its said by pundits and critics that GL's best work was his first album. So many hits.

I used to think many years ago that GL had a formula for putting his albums together.. You know.. 2 soft guitar ballads.. one long repetitive sounding story song. ..A lite melodic one. That kind of thing. Then there were these ones I couldn't categorize... like Uncle Toad Said...Yonge St. They were always the ones I liked least.
