In the selection of songs for the evening we will be influenced by a poll of most popular Leonard Cohen songs.  We initially set up a poll to rank the top 50 songs at http://drumz.best.vwh.net/mp/artists/leonardcohen/ but this is not ideal.  It is on a site we do not control, frequently returns server errors, and many respondents find that 50 is too many songs to rank.   If you have other suggestions of Leonard Cohen song polls or how we should select the music please write to leonardcohennights@hotmail.com and see also the suggestions from Werner Kehl.

Over a year ago on April 27, 2001 Glyn Pope started a long running thread on the message board of Leonard Cohen Files http://www.leonardcohenfiles.com/board/  "If you were only allowed one Cohen song to take with you to a desert island or where-ever, which would it be? "

The songs mentioned thus far on Glyn Pope's informal poll have been (87 suggestions so far):
