What would you put in? Rainy Day People? Carefree Highway? Early Morning Rain?

Which would you take out?

[preachermatt83]

Edmund Fitz is only one I've ever really cared abt.

Early morning rain. Just the name reminds me and every other grunt of "stand to" in a water filled fighting position and staying wet and cold for days on end. It might be sunny everywhere but it's raining in the field.

# 1 "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"
I prefer "Sundown" to "If You Could Read My Mind," but the latter may be the objectively better written song. "Early Morning Rain" is great and another personal preference over "If You Could Read My Mind."

Why is this a thread? Am I missing a joke? Yes, I know who Gordon Lightfoot is.

If you don't know the answer to that...you don't get it, or are too young to appreciate all-time-great music.

[RocketDawg]

1-2-3 in the order shown.

[dawgoneyall]

Song for A Winters Night....maybe because I learned to fingerpick it about a hundred years ago.

[Bothrops]

Edmond Fitzgerald is one of the greatest tribute songs of all time.

[GTHOM]

Whos Gordon Lightfoot

[Mutt the Hoople]

When I first heard The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald, I thought it was a song about some 19th Century wreck...turns out it was a song written less a month after it sank. My favorite GL song.
2) If you could read my mind.
3)Sundown.

[dawggoneit]

Yep 1-2-3 just like you listed.

[Bothrops]

Whos Gordon Lightfoot

He's a singer/songwriter from the 70's.

Yeah, I thought that too. I don't even remember it being on the news when the ship sank. Surely it must have been though.

This... but I think I'd put IYCRMM the solid #2

[parabrave]

Better Blinded by the Light version; Manfredd Mann or Springstein. I go with MM

[Noxdog]

Then the Wreck, followed by Carefree Highway.

Sundown has some of the greatest lyrics. Wreck is also great but I've tired a lil of it. Sundown.

So THIS is allowed her but EPL soccer isn't. OK.

[Noxdog]

Gordon Lightfoot may be Canadian but he is our Canadian, Dammit!!!

e p l?????????? What's that? Electro dance ? Oh I re read. Soccer. That's not American.

[bdfan09]

Ol' Dan's records is pretty damn good too.

[Dawgowar]

Okay, I call bullshit. I am old enough to remember riding in the car and hearing this on an AM radio station in my Dad's Ford Pinto. Lightfoot is the Canadian version of Slim Whitman without the yodeling! What next?? Which head banging Bee Gees song Didn't make you puke?

To each their I guess. Gordon Lightfoot though? Really?

[msstatelp1]

My favorite GL song is Don Quixote followed closely by Canadian Railroad Trilogy. I'm on mobile otherwise I'd link 'em. The ones you have are probably his most well known and are good choices.

Hahahaha I second this

[blacklistedbully]
