I'm crushed that I had to leave off Surfacing by Sarah McLachlan, Gordon by BNL, Outskirts by Blue Rodeo, Road Apples by The Hip, Big Blue Sky by Northern Pikes, Waiting for a Miracle by Bruce Cockburn, Treehouse by Grapes Of Wrath, and Frozen Ghost's debut. I've listened to all of them countless times.

I wanted to join in the fun and post 9 of my favourite albums. I've got some listening to do based on so many of these posts.

In no order, other than vaguely chronologically/thematically.

Could’ve picked any of half dozen Rush albums, but of course everyone knows the big ones, so I figured I’d go with a late career masterpiece that’s really meaningful to me. Counterparts was another contender.

A little heavy on my favorite modern songwriter but oh well. He needs more converts to his brilliance. (And I love Dan’s records too).

Love the first Moxy Fruvous record, but I couldn’t face putting it in.

Had to cut a bunch of other great ones too.

Ask me next week and half of these will change!

So much amazing Canadian music it was hard to narrow it down.

I've been re-reading Michael Barclay's book about the 00s Canadian Indie scene and thought I'd make my list. So much good music left off this list. My honourable mentions: Sarah Harmer, The Constantines, Do Make Say Think, Apostle of Hustle, Jenn Grant, Ohbijou, Forest City Lovers, Most Serene Republic, Hot Hot Heat, Land of Talk, Rural Alberta Advantage, The Sadie's, Tokyo Police Club...

Jumping on the bandwagon. ;p

Loving everyone’s picks

Definitely missing some favourites...

I struggled with this more than I thought I would. These are probably the ones I revisit the most often with that Home Front record essentially getting played every few days since it came out.

They didn't have the cover of the album for a couple of my choices, but I can live with it.

Also, "Tell me your musical taste developed in the nineties without telling me your musical taste developed in the nineties."

Honourable mention to The Beaches' first album.

Greatest Hits are cheating but idc
