The sequencing for these things tends to go a little sideways after about 20, which pretty much wipes out any relevance for the Top 100 Canadian songs list for the same period I'm working on. I mean really, what makes an album worthy of the 79 slot vs. 80? Regardless, it's that time in the decade and soon enough in the year, where music nerds (inspired by Pitchfork Media and the likes or otherwise) work on lists.
I also reserve the right to edit this within 5 seconds of hitting post, and well beyond tomorrow at noon when I'll decide the whole thing is crap and want to start again.

ReplyDeletecheers
Thanks mate, and yeah, Born Ruffians should probably be in there somewhere. I think I might actually prefer their debut to Red Yellow Blue, but the song "Hummingbird" alone is so good that it makes a case for your album make the 100.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't aware there were a Canadian hundred albums even worth listening in the last decade... ;)
ReplyDeleteWell, you probably meant Canadian anglophone albums. You use the name Canadian the same way usaers use the name American: putting aside other legitimate users.
