Down The Road Wherever hides at least two amazing songs in the bonuses that deserve to be on the main album, so it will go! Tracker — next for the same reason! :lol

Pale Imitation BEGS to be the last song on Down The Road and Heart Of Oak BEGS to be the last song on Tracker. But we got bonus tracks instead, well, ok...

I treat the four bonus songs on Tracker as part of the main album as they are a continuation - I always buy delux versions.  Anyway I voted DTRW purely because it contains too many songs that I don't like very much. I agree about Pale Imitation and the other bonus songs, but they weren't included on the main album, they are separate.

I listened to the latest two albums this morning (along with AC's Backstory) and changed my mind upon my order.  Tracker is now numero uno on my hit list; such a dull list of songs.  DtRW has some really good songs. 

Trapper Man - such a good song with even his vocal sounding energetic
Nobody Does That - nice funky number like he's never released before
Drovers' Road - quality man
One Song at a Time - Classic
and all three bonus tracks are fab.

So vote Tracker - right!!! ;)

I listen and enjoy the whole of Tracker, including the bonus songs, but on DTRW I can only get as far as OSAAT without my mind wandering!  Drover's Road is my favourite.

For me it's goodbye Down The Road Wherever.

DTRW contains instant classics (One song, Trapper man, Drover's Road, Matchstick Man). But for the most part it is way too cheesy. Out.

Yes, there are lots of great songs on DTRW but, I really can't share Mark's passion for brass instruments be it on the album or on the tour. Terrible! So, good bye DTRW!

BTW, Tracker is one of my favourites.  ;)

You can see already my reaction seeing Privateering gone, that in my opinion is far far better than Tracker, also Crimson is far better for me than Tracker, total disbeleaf.

DTRW has become an 'Occasional' album for me unlike Tracker which I listen to a lot more.....

I really only listen to Drovers, OSAAT and the bonus material....Tracker - well I just can't fault it!! Lights of Taormina - well my lordies!!!!
