The Top Ten

1 If You Could Read My Mind

2 The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

3 Sundown

4 I'm Not Supposed to Care

Normally I would say If You Could Read My Mind, but I'm Not Supposed To Care really deserves this vote. It gently injects the heart with such warmth and sincerity. It's so easy to believe that he wrote and sings the song just for the individual listener. Not a great many songs are able to do this. And that's what makes it special.
