Surely to goodness Joni Mitchell can get a shout-out.

There's a lot of songs that I like that I don't even know are Canadian until way later on.

I decided to snub Neil Young instead.

Where's SoulAlive? I wanna see some votes for Remy Shand and Loverboy.

CinisterCee said:

Wait, did he compose "Heart Of Gold"? I love that one.

CinisterCee said:

Yeah, he did. I love that one too.
Before I put a pain-staking amount of time into my list, can I put a band that's only partially Canadian?

shockadelicaa said:

I wouldn't include Main Source on my list.

CinisterCee said:

Haha, wasn't planning on it.

But if I could I would just fill my list up with Joni, CSNY and the Band.
I realize as a country, we've made a really pathetic contribution to the world of music. Just a few really amazing artists and a bunch of shitty ones...coughAvrilandCelinecough

shockadelicaa said:

ga head girl, I wanna see that list.

Okay, well I'm not gonna do it in order...I'm too tired.

-"Ohio" by CSNY
-"Old Man" by Neil Young
-"Woodstock" by Joni Mitchell
-"The Weight" by the Band
-"Somewhere Down the Crazy River" by Robbie Robertson
-"These Eyes" by the Guess Who
-"Heart of Gold" by Neil Young
-"You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette
-"No Sugar Tonight" by the Guess Who
-"Magic Carpet Ride" by Steppenwolf (wow, I didn't know they were Canadian...someone else for me to be proud of, I guess )

shockadelicaa said:

Now that you mention it, sounds like one of those "mostly" Canadian bands.
