Welcom from me as well Jennifer !

I'd add to your list, after a quick read of the reccomendations above, all good:

Cold On The Shoulder - classic 70's, much
like Sundown feel in some ways -its great

A Painter Passing Through among best newer
millenium Lightfoot - Title song is killer

Summertime Dream - 2nd to last of classic
70's period - intro some electric subtleties

Note: his voice changed a lot after around 85?
recordings before East of Midnight versus
after are surprisingly different than the
70's - a very defining peak to some in
his career- all "periods" have strengths

I to agree with Brink TOO; if only 1 album - Songbook 4 CD-set - the 18 unreleased songs are treasures and you see the whole snapshots of his life's work. - I like Dream Street Rose, too,

Question is, which do we NOT like ? LOL -

My favo(u)rites: Sundown, Don Quixote, Cold on Shoulder, If You Could Read My Mind, Songbook
