In Honor of Canada Day...

The Tragically Hip with "Grace, Too"--one of the best-known and higly-regarded bands in Canada (pretty much their version of our Springsteen), with their best-known song.

Sloan, with "Underwhelmed". Another big-name band up that way, with their first hit. I'm proud to say I pushed this one heavily on my college radio station my senior year.

Loreena McKennitt, with "Lady of Shalott". Yes, she's singing Tennyson, but she does it beautifully!

Tim Chaisson & Morning Fold, "Slipping Away". Hey, whaddayaknow, he spells it my way! No idea if he's related (if so, VERY distantly, like most Chaissons from the eastern Canadian coast), but this is good stuff.

What about great Canadian artists like Rush, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Bryan Adams, April Wine, Saga and Celine Dion?!?!?
