CanCon Song Dump #6

Published May 28, 2007 @ 17:33 in Best Canadian Song Search

canada My quest to come up with a definitive list of the 100 best Canadian tunes of all-time is the most exciting thing to happen to this country since Gaétan Boucher won silver at the Lake Placid Olympic games in 1980. I'll be dumping ten tracks every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday and then we'll see where we're at before the final list appears on July 1st.

Here's the sixth dump of Canadian gems.

The Headstones - Unsound
hHead - Happy
Holly McNarland - Numb
Hot Hot Heat - Bandages
Honeymoon Suite - New Girl Now
I Mother Earth - So Gently We Go
Ian and Sylvia - Four Strong Winds
Jann Arden - Could I Be Your Girl
Jann Arden - Insensitive
Jeff Healey - Angel Eyes

I always forget Hot Hot Heat are Canadian.

They sound so Brit Indie Pop.

Dude, you need some Bedouin Soundclash

I agree with Jason...you need to give a shout out to Bedoiun Soundclash and Mike I'm disappointed that you overlooked IllScarlett :(

1. I haven't warmed up to the whole Bedouin Soundclash thing (you might have noticed their big hit didn't make SLS)

2. I dig the illscarlett singles, but I didn't think they were "top 100 of all time" worthy...

I Mother Earth need some representation. Maybe one day we'll hear more from them. FYI "the quicksilver meat dream" was an awesome cd.

Remember, all these suggestions will result in additional songs being added to the final pool we'll select the top 100 from. DS and IS and maybe another IME song or two could be added.

Black Velvet and New Girl Now were both pretty good in their day, weren't they?

Used To Be Alright is my favourite IME track. If you were doing a list of the top Canadian Albums of all time, Dig would have to be on it.

Honeymoon Suite should be recognized just because they were big enough to do the final song to Lethal Weapon and as for Black Velvet....well I've never seen a stripper that I didn't like, dance to it.
