Another one by Jack Scott:

I'm Movin' On by Hank Snow. In 1950 it was #1 on the Billboard Country Single chart for 21 weeks, a record.

Great choice in my books.

Although The Weight is their best known song, I love this one by The Band. It's not the album version but it's great watching them perform live.

Next to The Weight, the Band's Arcandian Driftwood has to be included.

White Rose by Fred Eaglesmith

Only half joking when I submit this.

Too many Loverboy songs on that list, left out some songs that were worthy. Fly at Night should be in the top 20.

Correction misspelled Arcadian Driftwood. Also, although she was not my favourite singer, Anne Murray's Snowbird written by Canadian Gene MacLellan and his own hit, The Call. However, as a huge fan of Gord Lightfoot which I have accumulated most of his records over the years, Me And Bobby McGee, written by Kris Kristofferson should be included and as I have mentioned before Lightfoot's own song and the saddest song ever IMO, The Last Time I Saw Her Face, (about the passing of his mother) was such an emotional song, also.

This is all subjective, it depends what type of music you like and how old you are. Most of the people on this board tend to be older and the music they like tends to be from the 60s and 70s.
I love a lot of the music from that era also But if you’re making A proper list it should include the music from the last five or 10 years also.

Not this classic??

Edison Lighthouse were from the UK.

I guess that I confused them with Toronto's Lighthouse---One Fine Morning.

Summer of "69 should be the favourite of all terbites as the "69" does not refer to the year (Adams was only 9 years old in 1969) but to the sexual position.
“It’s a very simple song about looking back on the summertime and making love,” Adams said. “For me, the ’69 was a metaphor for making love, not about the year.

In that case there shouldn't be an apostrophe before the 69 which clearly implies the year 1969.

Did I miss Nash the Slash on the list ?

It's Acadian Driftwood, and it's about the French settlers moved from the Maritimes, (L'Acadie), after England defeated France in the French and Indian Wars, 1755-64. Many were moved to Louisiana, which was still French territory until 1803. The term Cajun is derived from Acadian.

Little Jackie Shane was an American who came to Canada in her/his late teens i believe..this song was a local top ten hit in the early 60,s here in Toronto....a pioneer transgender back in the day........was called a he/she..........but because of another thread here on Terb should be referred to as they.............i hope im being respectful............i do have a small back story..........i saw Jackie performing at the Crang Plaza Jane & Wilson...in the late 60,s...i was a teen then. and i didnt care about how Jackie looked...i just fell in love with their music..had a few minor hits with some songs......They died in relative obscurity about 3 or 4 years ago...hopefully im using proper descriptions...Little Jackie Shane was one talented singer..

 

[MissCroft]

"One Gun " Is a much better 54-40 song than "I go Blind".

 

[Insidious Von]

The Canadian Beatles.

 

[trm]

The Universal Soldier by Buffy Sainte Marie

 

[mandrill]

I would class about 1/5 of that list as passable music. And everybody knows that Bobcaygeon is the best song ever written anywhere, not just in Canada.

So here's a suggestion...
