Hah, I just noticed the question.

The answer to that question. For most music fans I'm sure that changes all the time. And this has for me as well regarding GL over the years. With such a huge back catalog and all...

Since this is off-topic, I'll try to keep it brief.

So, the song I was wondering if I ever had talked about was from SHADOWS, and is, I'll Do Anything. A song I used to like just from tone of the arrangement, if nothing else. But many years ago bits of the songs came to represent a bit of sadness for a doomed relationship I once had. If I listen to it in that frame of mind, it has a very different feel to it.

However, having listened to it so many times over the years I came to appreciate what I called "arrangement" above, and it is very interesting. Pee Wee jumps back and forth from pedal steel to dobro, the other instruments are immaculately recorded and well placed into the stereo image. Really this harkens back to the excellent arrangements found on SUNDOWN and COTS.

So, it has come to have meaning for me both on a technical level and on a very personal level. In recent years, this is the GL song I have played more than any other.

Anyway, back to topic. I hear that Firefox is poised for a bit of a boost in popularity, with the upcoming changes to Chrome that will disrupt ad-blocking. Makes me glad I've avoided it over the years.
