1971-RCA/LEGACY
Produced By JACK RICHARDSON
1. These Eyes
2. Laughing
3. Undun
4. No Time
5. American Woman
6. No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature
7. Hand Me Down World
8. Bus Rider
9. Share The Land
10. Do You Miss Me Darlin’
11. Hang On To Your Life
12. Albert Flasher
13. Broken
14. Rain Dance
The original Best Of The Guess Who from 1971 is still the one to have. Other compilations cover later years (not the best idea), and include way too much filler. But this one, even with the three bonus tracks tacked onto the end, is still number one on the list. The period covered here is small (1968-70), and shows what a force this Canadian band was for a short time. Fronted by Burton Cummings and featuring the guitar work of Randy Bachmann, The Guess Who were one of the best singles bands of the time.
And the track list here bears that out. There aren’t a lot of bands who could boast a set like this. From “These Eyes” through “Hang On To Your Life”, recorded with Bachmann already gone, there isn’t a single weak moment, not a single bad track. The band soldiered on after this, eventually losing Cummings in the process before calling it quits in 1975. They got together (without Cummings) later in the 70’s and have continued on comparatively unnoticed…but the early days were magic. This is a perfect chronicle of that time, some of the best singles of the era. [First added to this chart: 02/12/2026]

2000-KRANKY
Produced By DARYL SMITH
1. Storm
2. Static
3. Sleep
4. Antennas To Heaven
The genre of Post Rock has been described this way. “Music using rock instrumentation for non-rock purposes, using guitars as facilitators of timbre and textures rather than riffs and power chords”. This is perhaps the best way to describe the sound of this Canadian band, and particularly their third album, Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven. The band, which was once a collective with a fluid membership, on this album utilizes three guitarists, two bass players and drummers, along with cello, violin and horns. Although Post Rock is directly influenced by the work of The Velvet Underground and Public Image, Ltd., there is little to suggest any direct lines to either band here. What may seem like just noise to some is actually a sprawling and breathtaking work by a band that has dared to be different and on the outside for what is now twenty years. The tracks are long…this is actually a double CD album with two songs on each disc. The first three are all within a minute of each other in length at just over 22 minutes, with the last one a virtual quickie at only 18 minutes.
Each track is broken into several separate parts, and the CD insert contains a fascinating drawing of how the entire album flows, with diagrams of how the intensity rises and falls. There are no vocals on the album except for pre-recorded spoken word pieces. But despite the length and sometimes airy atmospheres of the songs, this album somehow holds your attention. It manages to never become boring or stale. In short, it’s really masterfully done, managing to not be overdone or repetitious, but evolving constantly from one beautiful scene to another. This is not the kind of music the masses will enjoy…their albums have never sold well, and they’ve never had anything close to a hit song. But their fans keep them in business, enough so that they have, to this date, been able to release four albums and an EP. This is music for your adventurous side, and if you have the patience to handle the massive scope of the album, you will be rewarded. This is not rock…it’s post rock, at its absolute definition. A beautiful album, and a most intriguing band. [First added to this chart: 09/30/2025]

1999-RCA
Produced By JACK RICHARDSON
1. These Eyes
2. Laughing

4. No Time
5. American Woman
6. No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature
7. Hand Me Down World
8. Share The Land
9. Hang On To Your Life

15. Follow Your Daughter Home
16. Star Baby
17. Clap For The Wolfman
18. Dancin' Fool
The Guess Who has now been at it for 50 years. Starting in 1960 as The Silvertones, they have gone through more than 40 lineup changes, and there is still a Guess Who touring today. But in 1969-70, they were maybe the best singles band on the planet, with 8 US top 20 hits in a row. Those 8 are the first 8 tracks here. After guitarist Randy Bachman left in 1970, the hits started to dry up, and Burton Cummings called the band quits (albeit temporarily) in 1975. This album covers the period from 1968-74.
After track 9, the selection gets really spotty. "Guns, Guns, Guns" is pretty good, and "Clap For The Wolfman" is worthwhile for how catchy and weird it is. The rest of the later tracks suffer from continuous personell changes and the loss of Bachman. A better choice is The Best Of The Guess Who, released in 1971, which sticks to the better earlier material, and includes the terrific "Bus Rider". (There are more Guess Who compilations than there are albums the band actually went into the studio to record themselves).
The band name came from a single they released in 1965, a cover of "Shakin' All Over". The band name was excluded from the packaging, with only "Guess Who?" on the cover. Speculation ran wild that it had been recorded in a basement in Liverpool by at least one Beatle and one Stone, and it sent the band over the top. [First added to this chart: 09/27/2025]
