I listened to CYC this afternoon. I'd forgotten how good it is. Well....
The thing is ... its a GL attempt at rock'n roll..nothing wrong with trying. The attempt does not make it bad. Heck the chord structure and rythym are fairly standard.

So are you saying you don't like all RnR songs.???

Or is it just that he's singing about a yellow canoe...

As I said before ..its a boat ...This is a boat song...like ...em...
Wreck
Triangle
Yarmouth
Christian Island
..are there any others to put along side Canary Yellow Canoe

Anyway IMHO ...CYC shouldn't be considered...you know why..

..off to the market in my Canary Yellow Canoe..(green jeep actually).
