Settled, once and for all.

I only looked at the Top 20, but supposedly no Moxy Fruvous. (Two years ago, they would have been ranked #17.) Guessing no Thundermug, Fludd, or Viletones, either.

plenty of good bands in there, but the order is absurd

Another list: Toronto songs.

I count seven that I love; I'm probably unfamiliar with a quarter to a third of the list, including the song by the ILM poster. By including the Dan Hill and Parachute Club songs (both truly awful), among others, the implication is that these are the 100 songs most identified with Toronto, not necessarily the best. By including the Rolling Stones, the implication is they weren't too particular about rules.

More like 40% I've never heard.
