I think many of us have our personal favorites, even some songs that weren't hits. I agree with the first 5 songs, but am shocked that Song For a Winter's Night isn't in the list. I'd rate the fist three as: 1. If You Could Read My Mind, 2. Song For a Winter's Night, 3. Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Then Sundown, Canadian Railroad Trilogy and Early Morning Rain.
He has so many great songs that it's almost impossible to rate them after those choices!
