Default Out of the Cradle Poll

Album #3 time. I had to remove three songs to keep it at 10. Based on previous posts/polls, I omitted This Is the Time, This Nearly Was Mine, and Say We'll Meet Again.

OOTC isn't one of my favorite of Lindsey's albums (blasphemy, I know), but I went with Street of Dreams, Countdown and Wrong. What are your top 3?

your omitting This Is the Time makes it easier to choose for me, although if i had 4 choices i'd also add Doing What I Can.

love love love these songs:
Don't look down
You do or you don't
Turn it on

OOTC is chock full of fantastic songs. It's sinful.

And I never really liked Doing What I Can until I heard it live. From the album, it didn't stand out to me. Now, I count it as one of my favorites.

I'm going to omit UTS and L & O, but take those 2 away and Lindsey has a fine set of solo albums under his belt. The rest are incredible works.

UTS and L&O are two of my three favorite LB albums.

Well, the second song that came to mind as a favourite (This Is The Time) wasn't even included so...

Also, HAD to include All My Sorrows just because I just have an inevitable emotional tug whenever I hear that song. Always was attached to the Nick Drake, Joan Baez and Paul McCartney versions of All My Trials when growing up, so knowing Lindsey did the song as well pleased me a LOT when I first heard this album.

You Do Or You Don't
Surrender the Rain

Default Amazing album!

Soul Drifter - I want this song played at my funeral. It's just a simple, perfect, amazing song with positive lyrics. I love it tons.

Surrender the Rain- I like the carnival-like sound of this. OOTC is about renewal and new beginnings, especially after loss. It's such a positive album and all the songs are wonderful.

Doing What I Can - It's really difficult to pick fave songs on this album, but this is my ultimate favorite. It grabs me and I usually end up tearing up when I listen to it.

I just found this poll. It's weird I didn't answered when it was posted years ago.

I thought Soul Drifter would get more votes. Although the lyrics may sound a little sad, the melody conveys an optimistic message to me.

I only picked one song, "Don't Look Down", but just realized that I could have picked two others. My other two selections would probably be "Wrong" and "You Do Or You Don't". "Street of Dreams" is also one of Buckingham's finest compositions.
