Now, I gather from that quote that the musicians are certainly Canadian, but I'm not convinced Viner is. Some other searches on Google don't reveal much, but none associate him with any other Canadian people or organizations (he was heavily involved in the MGM label). (His Nixon connection suggest American as well.) Also, the song "Apache" was wrriten by Jorgen Ingmann, who was European, and many (all?) of their songs are covers of non-Canadian music (i.e., "Let There Be Drums," "Inna Gadda-da-Vida").
Where it gets confusing is in trying to follow the M/A/P/L guide, as there are obviously no lyrics. But from what I gather (and again, I'm not confirmed on Viner) the breakdown is: Music: not Can-conArtist: Can-conProduction: not Can-conLyrics: n/a
The other possibility is that the records were produced *in* Canada, and maybe that's what matters.
If anyone else has insight here, I'd appreciate it. I really need to know whether or not hip-hop was invented in Canada, along with reggae (cf. Trooper).

Also, either "I'm a Stranger Here" or "Absolutely Right" by Five Man Electrical Band (but not "Signs").
Can someone recommend a particularly good Buck 65 track? I'm serious about compiling and distributing a CD from some of this list but wouldn't know where to begin with him (them?). Also, Voivod???

You know I'm teasing - I agree with most of it, generally. 100 songs really isn't enough to cover everything good.
Question to all - does Steppenwolf count as Canadian?

But it is Cancon if...It is an instrumental performance of a musical composition written or composed by a Canadian.orIt is a performance of a musical composition that a Canadian has composed for instruments only.In which cases MAPL be dammed.

I found a Watchmen album in there too - I don't even remember buying it! I wonder, is "Stereo" as bad as I remember?

I'd like to note here - not everything I've nominated here equates with my favourite songs by said bands. Especially that Blue Rodeo one. I guess I'm trying to interpret 'classics' at least partially in the context of 'had impact and importance', hence why I feel like I can't ignore something as archetypal as "Try".
Incidentally, last night when I said that "The Flag" was my favourite BNL song I actually meant "Wrap Your Arms Around Me" - blame the beer!

The last Crash Vegas album, Aurora, is absolutely fantastic, though their first two were unremarkable. Find Aurora, though, if you can.

When I was a kid my Dad was good friends them, and they were at our house all the time. They were really nice to me, but they (and all my parents friends) had a problem with accidentally passing alcohol/drugs to children. I really thought they'd faded to obscurity. Well, I guess they have, more or less.
