I'm on CFNY FM (102.1) The Edge's listener survey list. Basically they send me a list of songs once a month and I have to vote on whether I'm sick of hearing them on the radio or not.

Today I got to vote on my top 5 Canadian New Rock songs of all time. I picked:
1) Long Time Running - The Hip
2) 38 Years Old - The Hip
3) Pigeon Camera - The Hip
4) Another Midnight - The Hip
5) Fully Completely - The Hip

The Top 102 Canadian New Rock Songs of All Time airs on Saturday, March 10 at Noon and repeats on Sunday March 11 at 10:00am on the Edge.

It'll be interesting to see the final list. If its on their website I'll make sure I post it.

Since when is "Smells Like Teen Spirit" considered a Canadian song?? cratch:

[Hard Canadian]

These lists tend to be hugely disappointing. I might enjoy this one a bit more though as there's a very good chance that the Hip will feature quite heavily! :thumb: If I'm at home on Sunday then I'll see if I can listen to it over the internet.

Now everyone can vote. You just have to sign up for the "Edge Music Panel". Like I said, its pretty cool. You get to decide what songs the station should play/not play. For instance, I kept telling them to get that god-awful Bedouin Soundclash crap off the airwaves. I can't stand them. :roll:

Overall its an interesting list. There are some bands on there that I've never even heard of. :oops:

[Hard Canadian]

surprised ABAC didn't make the cut. wow.

[Zenith]

5 Nickelback - How You Remind Me

Yuck. Any list with that song at number 5 needs to be laughed off the airwaves.

Nice to see multiple entries from The Hip though - only to be expected really! 8)

cratch: Wait a minute, you mean I voted on this stupid thing and none of my songs made the list?

Yeah, it was a pretty stupid list and poll. I guess they wanted to do something to fit in with Canadian Music Week though.

[chancellor]

ya, it looks like your picks didnt make the list

[grimes]

And no Poets, Bones, Blow, or Nautical either...pretty sketchy.
