[The Horrible Esthete]

No Lightfoot? A little Sundown action?

hock:

So seven people dont have him as their favorite, big deal.

Never said it was a big deal. Just a little surprised, that's all.

Good lord, I can't believe I forgot Wintersleep! Consider "Welcome to the Night Sky" added to my list.

[thompson girl]

No particular order for me, cause that would be too tough to do:

1) Hayden - Everything I Long For
2) Killjoys - Starry
3) Rusty - Fluke
4) Sam Roberts - The Inhuman Condition
5) Rheostatics - Double Live (I was at the taping for this CD)
6) Sarah Harmer - You Were Here
7) Treblecharger - nc17
8 ) Blue Rodeo - Five Days in July
9) Our Lady Peace - Naveed

Most of mine came from university times, with a few newer ones. Hard to pick 1 Neil or 1 Rush.
Jazzberry Ram are one of my fav bands of all time though. The broke up a few years back but hope remains.

Just a few that came to mind

Hard to pick 1 Neil or 1 Rush.

I had the same problem, but went with Fly By Night because it was my first favourite Rush album and the one that really got me into the band.. and for Neil I went with Rust Never Sleeps, just because I felt it had the most really good songs on it out of any Neil album.. that's of course just my opinion and I'm sure others would disagree.

Damn, this country is an absolute treasure trove of great music.

It really is, I love it. Thats an impressive list, and thats just a small piece of the pie really.

There's nothing better than relaxing with some your favorite can rock playing on the stereo.
