My Ten Favourite Canadian Albums

cd

Earlier today, I wrote about my inherent disadvantage when compiling a list of this nature.  Below are my ten favourite Canadian albums of all-time, but you won't find Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Rush or The Guess Who.  You also won't find The Band, Leonard Cohen or Gordon Lightfoot.  I kept this list to actual albums I enjoyed and banned all greatest hits collections.

I'm listing these here in no particular order.  You may commence judging my ten favourite Canadian albums..... now.  If you're interested, I also recently listed the top 100 Canadian songs of all-time, and that list has lots of Neil, Joni, Leonard and Gordon.
