Best Canadian Song Of All Time?
What's the BEST Canadian song of all time and why?
We're going to round up the most popular answers and create a #Canada150 playlist for YOU to listen to at www.cbcmusic.ca Quickly, off the top of my head - "Lovers In A Dangerous Time" - Bruce Cockburn
My favorite line in a song:
Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight
Honorable Mention
"Echo Beach" - Martha & The Muffins
"Wake Up" - Arcade Fire
"The Laws Have Changed" - New Pornographers
"The Bleeding Heart Show" - New Pornographers
"High School Confidential" - Rough Trade
"Analog Kid" - Rush
"Everything You've Done Wrong" - Sloan
Neil Young and Joni Mitchell - lots!
"Tournament Of Hearts" - Weakerthans
"Nautical Disaster" - Tragically Hip
more to come . . .
Let's make a great #Canada150 playlist!
