Thanks for this article Brett.  Funny that they choose
such diverse Joni songs.  Me thinks that Song for Sharon or a selection with a few 
Canadian mentions would be their pick.  Don't get me wrong, the title song from 
Hissing, which just happens to be my fav collection of songs, is a pretty darn cool 
choice.

Also like the way they try to use a Stevie Wonder reference to explain the theme of 
the song.  This is just a slice of suburbia, so only a song in the key of a mood.

MY NEXT QUESTION....

>The five worst Canadian songs

#1
>Seasons in the Sun
>
>Terry Jacks, 1973

Does anyone on the list like this song?  When it came
out in '73 I was in grade school still, and all the
kids adored it.  I found it grating and offensive to
the ears.  

If anyone does actually appreciate this song please
explain the attraction!!!!
