Toronto Mike Can't do it - I'm a big Watchmen fan. I could bump the Mmm mmm mmm guys, possibly, but Superman's Song was pretty sweet... James Edgar The watchmen always seemed like they should be better to me. They just never quite got it right. Oh well if we all like exactly the same things.... Toronto Mike Just last week I mentioned April Wine is from Nova Scotia. Halifax, I believe. http://www.torontomike.com/2008/04/april_wine_you_could_have_been.html James Edgar I knew I'd heard that somewhere! See people do read your stuff. We just can't remember it. In my case it may be age :( Mike (Buffalo Boy) Sorry, I remember it from the Hips video I think they were playing Winnepeg and April Wine was playing same night Include solo artists and you get Chantal Kreviazuk, Holly MacNarland, Remy Shand (although he only had one album, he got me listening to rnb) & the big daddy of them all Neil Young. Toronto Mike No doubt, Neil's musical career began in Winnipeg, but I must point out he was born in Toronto and lived in Ontario until the age of twelve. :-) Anonymous altho myles goodwyn was born in NB, april wine was based in nova scotia before moving to montreal. yeah how come Neil Young isn't in the list?? or how about Doc Walker??

Hmmm, Bachman-Turner Overdrive probably deserves a spot in the top five. Let's bump Econoline Crush.
