No one has mentioned "Something Very Special" I always since I bought UA collection back in high school, skip past that song, I don't like the delayed guitar part. I used to not like "May I" but now I do listen to that one, "Did She Mention My Name" is probably my favorite UA album. Only other song I don't like is "Never Say Trust Me" from songbook. He should have kept that one unreleased. "Canary Yellow Canoe" kind of reminds me of CCR's "Travelin Band" but I think its an ok song to jam to. Just wanted to post this.

/Also to drift off topic, I think "Hotel California" is the worst song the Eagles ever did. Anyone else agree? / Don't even get me started on Hotel California! You guys were nary a gleam in your parents eyes when that came out. It not only sold millions in albums and singles....it also reflects the times as they were and not perceived to be. Disco was fun to dance to but it had no meaning as far as what the climate of the 1970's were like. I was just about 9 when it came out and have loved it ever since. Maybe if you completely understood all that the album is about,you'd change your tune. One can only hope and I'm sure you know I mean no offense to you by my reply. Later!
