1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: "The Wreck of the ''Edmund Fitzgerald''", which Lightfoot considered his best song, was not only recorded on the first take, but it was ''the first time Lightfoot and his backing musicians had performed it together''.
2* GrowingTheBeard: Both figuratively and literally after "If You Could Read My Mind".
3* MoodWhiplash: The rocking, insightful, and politically charged "Black Day in July" on the album ''Did She Mention My Name?'' is followed by "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4anIKs8Svko May I]]", a honkytonk-sounding tune with eccentric lyrics.
4* SignatureSong: A four-way tie between "If You Could Read My Mind", "Sundown", "Carefree Highway", and "The Wreck of the ''Edmund Fitzgerald''" – at least outside of Canada. Back home several candidates like "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" join them.
