It is hard to pick favourite Stan Rogers songs -- there's just so many good ones! But here would be some of the ones that are near the top for me:
-Mary Ellen Carter, I am totally with you on that one, and also Barrett's Privateers and 45 years -White Squall (MAKES ME CRY) -First Christmas (...look, I love this one enough that I wrote FIXIT FIC for it, because it ALSO MAKES ME CRY) -Macdonnell on the Heights (idek why, I just love this story of a dude who did what he had to and saved the day and nobody made him famous for it but he was awesome anyways) -Northwest Passage (it is just so BEAUTIFUL) -Harris and the Mare (MAKES ME CRY, also makes me think. Because I'm pacifist, right, so the argument that there are times you have to fight sits uneasily with me, and yet THIS SONG) -Lies ("And laughs at how her mirror tells her lies" <3333) -Maid on the Shore (because it is HARD TO ARGUE with a song about an awesome lady outsmarting people)
And um I could totally keep going and list like ALL of his songs because dude I love them all so much.
