The two songs of theirs I know best are "American Woman" (which Lenny Kravitz covered in 1999) and "No Time"; my pick is for "No Time."

American Woman and These Eyes

I voted for Undone but I also like These Eyes, Clap for the Wolfman, No Time, and Share the Land.






Cat

i like most guess who songs and my favorite is "these eyes."
i can't bring myself to listen to "american woman"because of
it's anti-american sentiment,though i may be the only american
to pick up on it seeing how popular the song is here.

They've got a couple of songs I like

Shakin' All Over from 1965 (original by Johnny Kidd in 1960)
Hand Me Down World from 1970 (the one I voted for)

"These Eyes" has always been my favorite Guess Who song.  8)

8) I pretty much like all The Guess Who songs...But..someone help me here...there was a movie that came out..in 1982..Melanie..that starred Glynnis O Connor...Paul Sorvino..Don Johnson..and..Burton Cummings..( as the has been druggie rock star)...Burton Cummings was Great in this flick!!!..I cant remember the song..its stuck on the TIP of my tongue...its the one at the very end..he wrote it for her..I tried to find the soundtrack a Loong time ago but gave up...Whats that song and does anyone know where I can get it!!!!!!

the song is called "something old,something new" and can be
found on his "sweet, sweet" album.quite a few other of his songs
were in the movie and they are also on the album.
i hope this helps.

I really like the Guess Who!  :D

I picked "No Time" - a long time favorite.  But major kudos also to the underrated Star Baby, Undun, Clap For The Wolfman, These Eyes, and Hand Me Down World.  Other good ones - I also like Share The Land, Laughing, Dancin' Fool, and Albert Flasher.  I originally liked American Woman, but I got tired of it  :-\\ (too much airplay) although I don't dislike it.

;D Loki 13....THANKS!!! I cant wait to get the CD.....

you're welcome,my wife has the album i am pretty sure it's the
one you're looking for.

I saw a guest viewing this thread, and I realized that I hadn't casted my vote yet. Once again, my pick is for "No Time."

updated chartography ...

They were still a one hit wonder in the UK with 'American woman' at UK #19 in 1970. 

Here's some trivia:  In Canada, they had 33 total hits, 29 which saw the Top 40.  With 22 of those overall hits between 1970-1975, they were the most successful Canadian band during the 1970s (just ahead of April Wine who charted 21 hits in Canada between 1972-1979)

More trivia:

Just after the success of 'American Woman', Randy Bachman left the group, and formed another band called Brave Belt, which after 2 albums would evolve into the great BTO (Bachman-Turner Overdrive).  In 1977, he left BTO for a solo career that didn't quite take off, so he formed another band called Ironhorse and scored a US/Canadian Top 40 hit in 1979 with the classic rock favourite 'Sweet Lui-Louise' and a minor 1980 hit with "What's Your Hurry Darlin", the latter of which remains his last ever chart appearance in the US Hot 100

Having lived in Canada all my life, I have heard lots of "Guess who" songs over and over.

My favorite "Guess who" song has always been "No time".  I also like "No sugar tonight" and "Sour Suite".
"Laughing" is a nice song as well. So many good songs here. I was never a fan of "American Woman". Sounds like there was too much hate in that song.

American Woman - it's the only one I know..but I do like it !

Lots of classics.....................But gotta go with These Eyes........Incredible vocal by Burton Cummings.
