SO, it looks like the fave Gord recording is CRT (based on 25 odd voters)

seems like most folks like any CRT recording but I agree with fezo regarding Red's outstanding work in the former-most version

runners up are Shadows and SFAWN...both are fine choices, many years apart

I'll spare all yet another Poll but if we were to poll which of the Billboard charting songs (top 200) I would think we'd pretty much unanimously arrive at a top 3 of:

IYCRMM
Sundown
TWOTEF

so, I think if one were to introduce an alien to Gord music for say, a half hour you couldn't go wrong with combo of radio charting tracks as well as album cuts, ie. Sundown, IYCRMM, TWOTEF, CRT, Shadows, SFAWN

...and if those didn't turn their crank I suppose you could keep that one about the Yellow Canary in your back pocket

thanks for playing, all

ps) again, for those who missed the original thread, the Billboard #200 charting songs were:

Anything For Love
Beautiful
Sundown
Carefree Highway
Rainy Day People
The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald
Race Among The Ruins
The Circle Is Small
Daylight Katy
If You Could Read My Mind
Talking In Your Sleep
Summer Side Of Life
