I love the huge "NOPE" response!!! :D

I have never been a fan of "Canary Yellow Canoe" either but it isn't horrible. Let's not forget that it is an out take which means that even Lightfoot said "Ummmmmmm.......nah." I can't think of any Lightfoot tune that I actually hate. I do skip a few due to overplaying or I find them a bit boring. Still, that does not take away from the quality. The guy has written hundreds of songs and not one of them makes me say "Run for the hills!"

Now take a band like the Red Hot Chili Peppers. EVERY song is a piece of garbage.
