It should be his Top 15 songs; they missed a couple.

Being in Michigan and surrounded by Yoopers when it happened, we’d vote for the Edmund Fitzgerald song.

“Critics” are readily criticized.

I agree. Bad ass breakup song - amazing melody, unsurpassed poetry and beautiful too. He’s one of few 70s artists my born in 1979 wife can tolerate. The high pitched voices of Neil Young, BeeGees, Andy van Warmer et al drive her mad. Gord had a manly voice to the nines.

Sundown was just huge. And it so fit in with the times.

The woman in that song was the same woman who injected John Belushi with his fatal dose.
No Early Morning Rain? Bogus list.

Gracious.... With an achin in my heart, and my pockets full of sand.. that’s the problem with trying to rate these gems. What a fantastic song. One of the first I learned to play on my old twelve string...( Not a Martin!)

No, they have Carefree Highway at #5.
To: MtnClimber
OOPS, I see Carefree Highway #5 got bumped over by an advertisement so I did not see it.
