Top 20 for me would be:
Today is mine
The moon's a harsh mistress,
I have you
Both sides now
Galveston (Live ballad version 1977)
I will be here (Somebody like that album)
Christian No
You might as smile
These days
Roll me easy
If these walls could speak
Sold American
The world I used to know
By the time I get to Phoenix/I say a little prayer
Houston(I'm coming to see you)
Walls
You're young and you'll forget
Rag doll
I'm gonna love you
Early morning song

Of course, I could keep going on for another 20.
One thing I will say, It is only with Glen Campbell, that I can honestly say that many of his live versions are just as good and in some cases better than the original. Gentle on my mind is a good example of that. I was blown away by his live version on the New Jersey album and when he has done it at other times on various youtube clips. With Leon Russell for example. Anybody else have live favourites?

Your Top 20 Glen Campbell Songs?

Post by Antonio87 »

Unfortunately cannot yet post my own list (because I just very recently bought the albums), but this is free for lists from other fans!

So, everyone post your top 20 Glen Campbell songs list! It would be very interesting to see the results, and see some strange new songs mentioned by others... 8-) Afterwards we could create a poll for the ten most mentioned songs.
