So I've been feeling a little nostalgic for the days of my youth recently... partly since last weekend I went back to UWO's Homecoming to celebrate my 10-year class reunion... holy crap, where has the time gone?
Anyway, I remember there being some great Canadian rock music "back in the day". And with this thread about an old forgotten favourite of mine, The Pursuit of Happiness (http://www.hipbase.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7664), it got me to thinking about putting together an ultimate late 80's to early-mid 90's Canadian rock mix CD (or CDs if there is enough material). For this exercise I have decided to not count the Hip, since I already have everything they've released so far, plus several boots of live concerts contributed by some of the fine members of this site. :thumb:
Here are some of the bands that I am considering including a song or two from:
TPOH
Sloan (earlier stuff)
Lowest of the Low
The Watchmen
13 Engines
Rusty
Our Lady Peace (earlier stuff)
I Mother Earth (earlier stuff)
Odds
54-40
Grapes of Wrath
Headstones
Killjoys
Northern Pikes
Now, here's where I ask for your help. I'm sure I'm missing a lot of great bands from that time, so what are your suggestions? What would you include in your ultimate Late 80s - Early-Mid 90's Canadian Rock Mix CD?
Thanks in advance for your input! :thumb:
