death from above better than clumsy and beautiful midnight? hardly
and sloan shows up like 4 times on that list, and pesonally I don't think they are that great., where's Burton Cummings? or the Guess Who?

Sloan doesn't write the best singles but they do write complete albums better than any other band in Canada in my opinion.

Also, I think Jagged Little Pill should be higher along with MGB and OLP. Some of the newer albums were a little higher than you would think.

don't you guys know, the purpose of a top 50, 20, 30 list, is for the writer or the person who is making the list to credit THEIR fav bands, and obviously the person who did this one is a retard, and doesn't know that canadian music extends beyond Sloan, and Matthew Good,.

He put K-OS joyfull rebellion at number 11, and yes it was a very good cd, but at number 11 of all time? noppe

Sloan I can see being on there, but they have zero Tegan and Sara, so obviously this list is very messed up. Whats with Billy Talent :wtf:

it's just one person's opinion. it means nothing to me, lol. i'm not a HUGE matt good fan, but beautiful midnight is really good and i don't see how it's number 50 whereas K-os and the weakerthans are under #20...

I've never heard any Sloan songs I don't think so I can't comment on them beating my favouritest album of all time (Harvest :drool:). And Blue is also an amazing album. I think Beautiful Midnight should definitely have been higher than 50 though - sooooo much better than Billy Talent.

the Billy Talent album is pretty good though. Not one of the top 50 Canadian album sof all time though.
Why aren't the Who on this?

So can we all agree that we disagree?

For the record....i was beat out by both Sooz and Me and my one man army, i guess that's what happens when you leave a window open and then reply. kinda wierd that we were thinking the same thing though!

It would be better if they published a top 50 according to Canadian or North American album sales.

i commend this list for not having any Avril Lavigne...
and for having the balls to put the weakerthans in the top ten




otherwise i really dont like it at all.

aaaaaaand tegan and sara are probably better than a lot of what's on there.
