Awesome list. Well researched. There are some old gems here that I had long forgotten and perusing this list really stirred up some old memories. Notably, the Demics, The Diodes & The Government. TY for stirring up some fine old memories. I’m just ticked off that I have no idea where that old Government EP I had got to. I would kill for it now.

I’m arriving late to the party. but surely, Mitsou- Bye Bye Mon Cowboy.
(or do I just feel extra love for that song cause of the image of callum keith rennie & molly parker dancing to it in twitch city?)

and I could fully back Blue Rodeo’s “Lost Together” without flinching, whereas “Try” would give me a guilty pleasure kind of pause for the aforementioned schmaltz.

Sloan has to be represented with something. I say “The Good in Everyone.”

I do not know how y’all feel about The Tragically Hip but “Nautical Disaster” was the darkest thing that haunted the radio during my 10-month stay in Canada.

Probably too many suggestions:
Men Without Hats - Safety Dance
The Government - Flat Tire
Spoons?
Gordon Lightfoot - not Sundown, but one of : If you Could Read my Mind, Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, Summer Side of Life
Blue Rodeo - Try (shmaltzy, but should probably be there)
Harmonium - Pour un instant
Deja Voodoo - Take out the trash
Drastic Measures - “Everything’s Hotsy-Totsy” (was this a single?)

Guy Lombardo, yes! In addition to one of the iconic records of the 20th century — Auld Lang Syne — Guy’s brother Carmen wrote the standards “Sweethearts on Parade” (recorded by Armstrong, who was a Lombardo fan) and “Seems Like Old Times.”

A meagre trio of suggestions:

The Jolly Tamborine Man’s “Apple Strudel Man” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEYCPUpdI5s)

Sloan’s “Coax Me”

Meryn Cadell’s “The Sweater”

Also, I must say I much prefer BP’s “New Materiology” to “How Are You People Going to Have Fun?”. I cannot tolerate the use of “you people”, whether facetious or not.
