I'd have to say I have a few faves among his songs. I was introduced to GL in 1994 by a boyfriend of mine who played "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" for me. I felt such a connection w/the song and didn't know why till we were watching a documentary on the 20th anniversary of the sinking. Lo and behold, it turned out that it sank on November 10th---MY BIRTHDAY! Since then, I've loved that song. I also like "Sundown", "Carefree Highway", "Summertime Dream", "The House You Live In", "If You Could Read My Mind" and so many others...he just seems to speak directly to you!
