Grew up listening on the radio to their hits excessively so I took out the stuff on the Greatest Hits from the original albums they appeared on and numbered them differently so they would appear at the end of the songs. The other non-hits were very cool to hear all together without any familiar cringing I might do. Was surprised that my favorite song of theirs--and it was a big hit--'No Sugar Tonight' with the line 'Jaco says Yes and I believe Her" did not make the Greatest Hits album from 1977?? It is the first song in a 'Nature Trilogy' of three songs dealing with first 'New Mother Nature' and then we should 'Share The Land' and finally 'Godspeed Mother Nature" from 'Guns, Guns, Guns' and that's why I will always like this band (also appeals as I grew up a 'rink rat' as I came from a big family and thus we could never afford new pads and hockey fees every year so I hung out and taught myself how to play in 'pick-up games' with no pads..ha ha.

I grew up listening to this band, too, and I LOVE THEM! I agree about "No Sugar Tonight" being one of their best songs. The one that I always tend to associate with them is "These Eyes." I used to have a bunch of their vinyl albums, and there wasn't a single one of them that I didn't LOVE and play constantly. This music still sounds just as great today as it did when I was a kid!
DOwn already?

Links for the Guess Who are back up! Thank you Fervor Coulee! Helpful comments like that get filled next day!
Cheers!
Gosh I love this band, I guess it's cuz I gre up with them too. Much appreciated.
BTW, No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature WAS on their 'Best Of' album from 1971. The 1977 collection was Volume II. Generally I'm not that big a fan of greatest hits albums, but those two are very good.
Scotch that, Vol II was from 1973. The one yer talking about is obviously the last one on this list. They had too many great songs for a single album anyway.
REALLY nice, thanks so much !

Just to clarify: it was CANADA which enacted the Canadian Content law (often abbreviated as 'Can Con') through the CRTC (Canadian Radio/Television Communications Commission) to ensure that a certain percentage of radio and television content was Canadian in content, and thus allowed new and emerging Canadian artists to have a fair chance at exposure amidst all the established US and European artists who dominated the charts.
Interesting sidebar: Kon Kan, the Canadian pop/dance artist from the 80's and early 90's, derived their name from this commonly known law.
