| My Favorite 10 Joni Mitchell Songs
Since I've got a Joni Mitchell theme going this week with my review of "Clouds", let's keep it going. This list was impossible to make, though. My top picks are solid, but after that there are so many songs to choose from that it pains me to leave some out. Oh, well. | | 10 |  | Joni Mitchell
Blue
"Carey"
I had to change this one several times. A great song, even though it meant I had to leave other great songs out. | | 9 | | Joni Mitchell
Blue
"A Case of You"
Another great one from "Blue". I only regret I have to leave the title song out. | | 8 |  | Joni Mitchell
Ladies of the Canyon
"For Free"
One of the things I always like about Joni is that she always recognized how lucky she was to be among the few who actually make a living playing music. In this case, she wrote a song about it. | | 7 |  | Joni Mitchell
Song to a Seagull
"Cactus Tree"
About a lady who has everything. And nothing. | | 6 |  | Joni Mitchell
Clouds
"The Gallery"
I think this might have been the first Joni Mitchell song I ever heard. She performed it live during a radio concert she performed with james Taylor. | | 5 |  | Joni Mitchell
Court and Spark
"Court and Spark"
A great almost-love song, but she just can't peel herself away from L.A. | | 4 | | Joni Mitchell
Clouds
"That Song About the Midway"
One of Joni's most beautiful vocals. "Was it hard to fold a hand you knew could win?" | | 3 | | Joni Mitchell
Court and Spark
"Free Man in Paris"
One of the great songs about selling your soul to the music industry. | | 2 | | Joni Mitchell
Ladies of the Canyon
"Conversation"
Another great song for Joni's vocals. What she does at the song as she repeats "He knows that what he'll find" give me a chill down my back. | | 1 | | Joni Mitchell
Clouds
"Chelsea Morning"
For me, this is Joni's most beautiful song. I love the images she paints with her words in this one. "Oh, won't you stay/We'll put on a day/And we'll wear it 'till the night comes." | |

01.12.17 | Among the songs I had to leave out were "Blue", "Blue Boy", "California", "Rainy Night House", "Tin Angel" and some of her best known songs like "Big Yellow Taxi", "Both Sides Now", "The Circle Game", and "Woodstock". | SandwichBubble
01.12.17 | What's your opinion on The Hissing Of Summer Lawns? Personal fav of mine | Yotimi
01.12.17 | yeah mine too | SandwichBubble
01.12.17 | @Yotimi I mean, Seagull to Hejira are all 4.0+ in my book, but Summer Lawns is just too damn good to ignore.
Gonna bump that album again today, since @Divaman's review got me in the mood earlier. | Divaman
01.12.17 | I've never owned "Hissing" Sandwich Bubble. I like "In France They Kiss on Main St.". | danielcardoso
01.12.17 | Really good picks man, 1 and 3 are some of my faves as well. Don't mind mentioning This Flight Tonight, so underrated. | DoofusWainwright
01.12.17 | I need to listen to more Joni | danielcardoso
01.12.17 | Pick up Court And Spark buddy, a little different than Blue but still really good. | TwigTW
01.12.17 | Hey Divaman, had a big Joni Mitchell day Yesterday listening to your list of essentials. So many great new songs to choose from, but for now my favorites are 'You Turn Me On I'm A Radio,' Free Man In Paris,' and 'Help Me.' Love her vocals. | Divaman
01.12.17 | Always glad to motivate people to listen to Joni. | NorthernSkylark
01.12.17 | Would prob add river to the mix | AngryJohnny
