100 Best Canadian Songs Ever (CBC Radio, 2014)

Compiled by CBC Radio, this is one of those charts that include everything. No, really: everything. Here you'll find Joni Mitchell and Neil Young, The Band and Leonard Cohen, Arcade Fire and The New Pornographers, Feist and Metric, k.d. lang and Sarah McLachlan, Paul Anka and Celine Dion, Bruce Cockburn and Bryan Adams, Alanis Morissette and Shania Twain, Japandroids and Death From Above 1979, Carly Rae Jepsen and Nelly Furtado, Steppenwolf and The Guess Who, Drake and Grimes, Ron Sexsmith and Rufus Wainwright, Stars and Broken Social Scene, Avril Lavigne and Nickelback. And many more. Even some artists that you forgot (well, I forgot) to be Canadians. Maybe the critic inside you could rate it not a 100% quality collection, but I think it's a really nice & light one. Listen to it in this Spotify playlist and/or go to CBC for some stats and a messy & mutant 4-minute YouTube mash up of the Top 100.

Enjoy!
