In my view, Lighfoot has written some of the most profound music/lyrics in three essential, and for this posting, rather broad, categories. Understood that his music has spanned a great deal of time that reflected upon some significant events in recent history. What would you think are the his top three songs in each of these categories: Environment, Futility of War, and for lack of a better term, Social Observations (commentary on social issues, of any kind, over the period of time he has been writing).
These are not my final answers, but, for the sake of examples and illustration:
Environment
Ode to Big Blue
War
Protocol
Social Observation
Black Day in Jul
