I'm not familiar with much else on the list (though I will be aquainting myself when the cash money starts flowin') but I'd just like to say it'd be nice to see Plaskett take this. Great album.

Arkells got shafted. Drag.
Though I am surprised to see more than one rock record on the shortlist.

Solid list, EPenguin10.
My favourite Canadian album from the last year, off the top of my head, would be The Wooden Sky's.

Due to me forgetting my Ipod at home, I decided to give the list a try on one of those free online music services while at work and I am now a fan of the RAA. Guess my work night is going to be a little err.. distracted :music :music
