And as I've hyperbolically said elsewhere, 'Uncle John's Band' has the worst vocal arrangement of any song ever written by a nominally professional songwriter. Just atrocious. Ruins a very fine song. Truckin' is a dippy song too. (Is that Barlow's lyric? I'm not his biggest fan exactly.) Says nothing about the jams in either, of course!
I suppose you've covered yourself by qualifying this as "hyperbolically." but, um, wow. Just wow. I know that isn't any kind of argument, but I kinda don't feel like I need to make one here. Res ipsa loquitur and all that. Also, FWIW, Truckin' lyrics are Hunter.

What sacred cows shall we piss on next? Revolver? DSOTM? Or shall we mix it up a little and go with Kind of Blue?
