Why aren't the Who on this?

the fact that you think The Who are a Canadian band is ridiculous
and sad at the same time

sloan has some of the most critically acclaimed records ever
other than one chord to another which had huge sales and wasnt as critically acclaimed as smeared and twice removed

meh i was like "how can billy talent be better than clumsy?????"

and yeah i agree that some newer albums were way to highly ranked

and apparentl this wasnt just ONE person's opinion... Chart called lots of musicians and critics and their own writers etc etc. u'll know what i mean if you read the article

wow, then i don't know how to explain it.... i think it's nuts. there should be older albums on there too.

Oh and i forgot. Jeremy wrote the article for the #9 Canadian album of all time, which was The Band's self titled one.

there were other musician-written articles too

crazy..

i at least respect that it's not completely conventional in giving every spot the hip, guess who, and neil young.

and there's no Shania or anything either, which is cool

Canada always have the reputation to put some nobody at the top when it's time to make a chart instead of popular people. You may complaint about OLP (Clumsy) at #49 which myself think that it should be in the top 10 easily. I mean it's one of the few Canadian to sale 1 million copies in Canada and in the US. Also, wtf is Alanis doing at "Jagged Little Pill" doing at #47? This is maybe one of the best album by a female artist, if not the best. That's why it sold 30 millions worldwide! A record for a female artist and for a debute album (even if it wasnt her debute album).

Also, I'm sure this year, Adam Van Koerverden will win Lou March trophy (best Canadian athlete) instead of Steve Nash (Pro Basket Player).

yeah, I found it weird that Alanis Morisette was so far down, when on MuchMoreMusic on a list of the Top 40 albums of the past twenty years (in all north america) I think she was somewhere in the top ten.

Well if you were to base this on album sales then it would be Celine Dion, Avril Lavigne, Shania Twain and all that crap.

reza · Post by **reza** » 2/27/2005, 2:35 pm

Isn't Celine Dion the best selling Canadian artist?

Joe Cooler · Post by **Joe Cooler** » 2/27/2005, 2:38 pm

There were a few new albums up there that I thought deserved to be that high up on the list. Notably The Arcade Fire's "Funeral" and Broken Social Scene's "You Forgot It In People"

Long Jonny · Post by **Long Jonny** » 2/27/2005, 2:43 pm

broken social scene was in the list

Joe Cooler · Post by **Joe Cooler** » 2/27/2005, 2:52 pm

I know. I'm saying they deserved to be so high on the list.

reza · Post by **reza** » 2/27/2005, 2:53 pm

i concur!
