Good end cap from Kinsella there!
No, I think Read My Mind is probably the song that will go down in history as the best work he ever put forward. It's my favorite, but I like all his stuff so I'm not really biased here. Over time Edmund Fitzgerald is going to be more and more dated because almost no one from my generation knows what the ship is and if they know the song it's because it's the song Jack Black wants played at his funeral in "High Fidelity".
Read My Mind on the other hand has crossover appeal to dance/techno remixeseven though they're terrible butchery of the song. It also makes more and more appearences in modern film (Wonderland, We are Marshall). I was REALLY surprised that it didn't make the Rolling Stone 500 greatest song listand although I love the list, it lacked a Neil Diamond song and a Lightfoot song which were two really bad omissions. -

Best song Lightfoot or anybody ever wrote-"Early Morning Rain", best version of the song, Peter, Paul and Mary.
Best Lightfoot rendering of someone else's songs-tied for first place, "Susan's Floor" and "Me and Bobby McGee".
For that matter, Lightfoot's covers of those are the best there are.
Best sailing song ever-"Christian Island".
