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.) ---

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”? ---

“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.” ---

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. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-are-your-three-favorite-guess-who-songs/776900.md?page=2)
