There's a local radio station here that has a "No Nickleback Guarantee" Because all the other stations play them fuckin constantly to reach the quota.

My ideal radio station would be this plus no Hip. Everything else I can tolerate.

Man, she is so totally late-90's. There was just a huge flood of electro-lounge-adult-contemporary artists making music that was really easy to listen to, that you could just put on over the loudspeakers in JC Penney's and nobody would be offended.

Too lazy to look up any more but that's a nice array of genres covered. As for Rush being crazy libertarians I'm gonna be a total apologist- it was mostly Neil Peart and he's had a major change of heart since then and is much more of a socialist libertarian last I checked so IDK. Besides, I think it's hilarious that Rush's lyrics inspired by Ayn Rand are more beautiful, narratively consistent, and less contrived than anything she actually wrote.

It still is Neil Peart, and he considers himself a bleeding heart libertarian.

Honestly, I love Rush, but I hate the lyrics of Rush songs. If you pretend the words don't exist, and just listen to the rhythm/tone of the lyrics, everything sounds so much better.

Seriously, listen to a Rush song without listening to the lyrics.

All are excellent. Get very little radio play except CBC and maybe indie stations

But then we also have what you'll hear on the Radio at the dentist

so really in a way maybe mainstream Canadian radio isn't the best way to hear good Canadian music.

Oh wait, it's like that in the states as well...

quote:

Connors always wore his black Stetson in public, and refused to remove it for any reason, even when meeting Queen Elizabeth II at a dinner in Ottawa in October 2002. Buckingham Palace smoothed the way by likening Mr. Connors's hat to a religious headdress such as a nun's habit or a Sikh's turban.[21]

He was indie before it was cool:

quote:

In 1993, he declined to be inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame.[51]
