Re: The Top 100 Canadian Songs of all-time
I'd add a few Tegan & Sara songs.

Re: The Top 100 Canadian Songs of all-time
Only this song deserves to be #1:

Re: The Top 100 Canadian Songs of all-time
Summer of '69 is ranked far too high considering the rest of the competition. What . . . no Prism?

Re: The Top 100 Canadian Songs of all-time
No Spirit of the west?

Re: The Top 100 Canadian Songs of all-time
So my theory is true - every Canadian chronically overrates The Tragically Hip. Any band that says their band name in one of their own songs should GTFO.

Re: The Top 100 Canadian Songs of all-time
The whoe top 10 should be Neil Young and Anne Murray needs to not even be on this list.

Re: The Top 100 Canadian Songs of all-time
Plenty of changes I'd make on that list. Seems like this list is geared more towards the hit songs as opposed to the best songs.
Bryan Adams - Summer of '69 is way too high on the list (I wouldn't even have it on a top 100). BTO, Men Without Hats, Cory Hart, Maestro Fresh Wes ? ugh Blue Rodeo - shouldn't be on the list, nevermind being ahead of their much better "Lost Together" Much better Tom Cochrane songs than "Life is a Highway". ie. White Hot. The list is missing Saga: <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SRqSXwsaHvE?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SRqSXwsaHvE?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Vs9JgSuz8t4?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Vs9JgSuz8t4?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> |

Re: The Top 100 Canadian Songs of all-time

Re: The Top 100 Canadian Songs of all-time
For me personally the biggest omission is Matthew Good(Band). I woulda thought "Apparitions","Everything is Automatic" or maybe "The Future is X-Rated" would certainly be in any Canadian top songs list. Certainly would be on mine.
Happy to see Sloan on there a few times though :up: |

As for the list, it's one person's opinion, and I personally don't think much of it. |
Re: The Top 100 Canadian Songs of all-time
They left this out:
I thought Sarah McLachlan would have been on there too. Well, at least they didn't include: Spoiler:

Re: The Top 100 Canadian Songs of all-time
How can you all forget Robin Sparkles:

Re: The Top 100 Canadian Songs of all-time
Almost every Tegan & Sara song is better than 1234. I never take lists seriously, but that they didn't even get one song on the list shows how criminally underappreciated they are.
