New Years Update to Top Canadian Songs
Over Christmas break, I updated my list of the top 100 Canadian songs to take into consideration all the feedback I have had over the past year. I think it is much improved. It goes far beyond 100 songs now, which was always much too short a list.
The page now receives over 1000 visits per month, except for this past September when Bob Mersereau released a book with the same name and concept, and Google visits reached over 1000 per day. On Canada Day weekend, the list received over 250 visits from fellow patriots.
I actually put a fair bit of work and research into the update and I think the list of 400+ songs is quite comprehensive.
Comment or offer helpful suggestions on the revised list, below.
While I must say this was a fun list, the omission of “Wildflower” by Skylark in the top region makes it incomplete. Nice to see the Poppy Family there. Thanks, from the USA
I would like to see K’s Choice or Furnaceface on the list as well. Yes, obscure, but still part of our heritage. Great list!
without any parameterswhatsoever….the greatest Canadian song of all time is ” The Canadian Railroad Trilogy”
Alias, more Frozen Ghost, Honeymoon Suite
Here are three sonds I think should be in the top 500 (and I confess I did not search the list that diligently): Sylvia Tyson’s “You Were on my Mind”, Stan Rogers’ “Mary Ellen Carter”, and Gordon Lightfoot’s “Early Morning Rain”
hard to believe there is nothing by the Rankin family in the top 500
