I'd replace that one with Tristian Psionic's Red Dots.

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.
