I have TPOH on vinyl if you have anything which will play it. I only have mp3s of Platinum Blonde
For your disc you should also include:
Chilliwack - My Girl
The Box - Closer Together (Sass Jordan is of course the backup singer for this Montreal one hit wonder)
Jane Sibbery - Mimi on the Beach
Martha and the Muffins - Echo Beach
That's why I sold them. I gave away my turntable years ago and couldn't see myself getting a new one.
And for Jane Sibbery I would probably pick One More Colour (which I bought from her site).
If you go to her site, you can buy her stuff and pay either market price, self determined price, or free. Interesting concept.
The Box had a couple other hits - Ordinary People comes to mind.
Parachute Club should be on there, Rise Up or Feet of The Moon
Shawnski - I have heard The Donnas version. I believe they used it for a TV commercial for a while.
It's actually pretty hard to track many of these down. Some (like The Skydiggers early stuff - I Will Give You Everything) were for a Canadian label that went under so there are questions of who owns the rights. And as a result they haven't been produced in years. I need to get down to the used CD place and see what they have.

If you think you're gonna make me feel guilty for listening to Gowan and Hall & Oates regularly, you can f-- right off!
Yeah I was going to mention Gowan, I must have seen him 25 times when I was younger, everywhere from Ontario Place to Canada's Wonderland.
I also dig Styx...
Is GWAR a guilty pleasure?
NSFW
How 'bout some Barney Bentall?
Oh, and Pink... she's hot and has some pipes, but I've never been much of a pop listener. (I too think Gwen Stefani is not really a pop princess, she's got some punk cred)

Damn, that's why I can never find them . I have wanted to listen to Monday Morning Blues Again (or whatever the title is) on more Mondays than I care to remember.
They are another band who put on a good show. Saw them at the short lived "Joe Cools" bar in Regina.
Is it a guilty pleasure that I still listen to Journey's greatest hits album?
Nope

Bahahha I had that in my car once and the song came on my cd while l was driving these 2 girls somewhere. They have never let me live it down to this day. But I still love it!!

In May they remastered and released a bunch of tracks. You may want to check for it here.
(According to Wiki, the Skydiggers created the Maplemusic label. There is a massive amount oc Canadian acts they do online sales for)

Nice list. I think Frozen Ghost is another guilty pleasure of that era for me. I don't even remember what any of their songs are called, I just know that I listened to one of their albums a couple months ago and sorta dug it.
A definite guilty pleasure for me is Ghandharvas: no March 21 is complete without listening to First Day of Spring at least once. I've listened to it on that date almost every year since it came out.
Crap, what I grew up with is your guilty pleasure. Eazy E, ok I can see that, he's kinda cheese, but Big L is a classic MC. No need to feel guilty there.
Hahaha likewise man. I was all about the ganster rap growing up.
Eazy E I like because I find it funny and entertaining more than anything else. But yeah Big L is/was without a doubt talented.
I also get a kick out of the late 80's early 90's rap... Run DMC, Digital Underground, Skee-Lo, Arrested Development... brings back good memories.
