What are your three favorite Guess Who songs?

I think the Guess Who catalog holds up quite nicely after all these years. What are your three favorites?

Mine:
American Woman - great riff and lead guitar

Runnin’ Back To Saskatoon - Moose Jaw, Broadview, Moosomin too

Share the Land - Sentimental favorite, I remember buying the 45 when it was current
mmm

The one where they declaim the following lyrical sentiments:

"I gotta get a two-ton truck
I gotta get a two-ton truck
I gotta get a two-ton truck
I gotta get a two-ton truck
I gotta do it to a duck on a two-ton truck and fade away like Ron Rene
All right, all right

You got the magical mystery tour
You got the magical mystery tour
You got the magical mystery tour
You got the magical mystery tour

And Kurt is the Walrus
And Kurt is the Walrus
And the Walrus does funny things to the veins in his left arm
All right."

**American Woman

No Time

Key** (One of the utmost underappreciated songs from anyone…feel quite lucky to have heard it the extremely few times (as in just two-three, tops) on Music Choice’s Classic Rock station fifteen or so years ago.)

Star Baby
Undone
Share the Land

American Woman
Undun
No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature

I’ll go with “No Sugar Tonight”, “These Eyes” and “American Woman”.

I’m from Saskatoon, but I think the lyrics to “Running Back to Saskatoon” are mostly terrible. “Soil farmers”? “I been hangin’ around grain elevators”?

These Eyes

Stand Tall, but I think that was just Burton Cummings

Clap for the Wolfman

Rain Dance
8:15
Undun

Any song with Wolfman Jack in it is great. Did You Boogie With Your Baby? by Flash Cadillac and the Continental Kids and Hit the Road, Jack by the Stampeders also feature the Wolfman.

Undun
Hand me down World
No Time

These Eyes
No Time

Only two of their hits interests me.

“No Time” is easily their best song, according to the world-famous** Ponch8 Music Rating System**. No Time is followed by “Laughing” and “These Eyes.”

“No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature”

“Running Back to Saskatoon”

“Laughing”

Star Baby and American Woman because those are the only two I recall.

No Sugar/New Mother Nature

No Time

Star Baby

I remember Hit the Road, and I sure did enjoy The Midnight Special. :slight_smile:

Tough choice, but I’ll go with

Undun
No Time
American Woman

Honorable mention for “Bus Rider”; not a well-known track yet it did make the 1971 Best Of compilation (which was heavily biased towards what was then the band’s latest album, Share the Land). “I’m so awful goddamn glad I’m not in your shoes!”

I love the jazzy “Undun”, the nasty little ditty that is “Star Baby”, and their obligatory 60s/70s save the planet tune “Guns, Guns, Guns”.

It isn’t that I don’t like the big hits. I do. I just want to throw a shout out to some of my less well known favorites.

“Undun” may not have charted all that high, but it’s still a great song.

“Stand Tall” was indeed a Burton Cummings solo hit.
