I maintain my position that Moving Pictures is a vastly overrated record, and have voted for Saga's The Beginner's Guide to Throwing Shapes, which is one of those albums I never grow tired of.

I agree on the first part, but voted for Joni.

Zuma. "Cortez the Killer" is an all time favorite. The album as a whole is great. No one does distortion like Neil.

Looks like I'm not a big lover of Canadian music, even I like some albums and really love Les Cinq Saisons.

I like much music from Canada, but this list is not very representative of my tastes and some of it was what I actually actively dislike in music. 

Most of what I like coming from Canada is from Quebec, and a lot of classic stuff is on the folk side and jazz-side.  It's a no-brainer vote for Joni Mitchell with Heijira here.  Some other classic Canadian fave artists of mine are: Leonard Cohen, Buffy St. Marie, Dionne-Bregent, certain Neil Young, Mort Garson, Sloche, Maneige, Opus-5, Conventum... And for the post-classic stuff, I love post-rock, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor is a particular favourite of mine.

What does not appeal to me with a lot of Anglophone Canadian rock to me is that it is on the AORish side and a kind of hard power rock side.  I find a lot of it musically not as atmospheric as I commonly like, has an attitude that I don't relate to, too straight-forward, and lacking depth, beauty and interest for me.

You may prefer the two previous series' of Canadian singer/songwriters polls (one each for male and female artists) which are coming up again after this current series of polls have run their course. Smile

Probably, covered lots I like in that Canada Day poll.  Not that you would think I was, but not being critical or complaining about this poll, I wrote that because David wrote "Looks like I'm not a big lover of Canadian music, even I like some albums and really love Les Cinq Saisons."  Canada's a big country and there's a considerable amount of depth and breadth to Canadian music.  The Quebec arts scenes (and music specifically) stand well above the other provinces for me on the whole .

When it comes to rock from my province, I think of punk rock, by the way.


By the way, the lead singer of D.O.A. (founded in 1978) is Joey Sh*thead, aka Joseph Keithley, is a local politician and member of The Green Party.

I know exactly what you mean. There's only seven artists who really stand out for me in this series of polls - The Band; The Guess Who; Harmonium;  Klaatu; Maneige; Joni Mitchell; & Neil Young - mainly because none of them sound remotely like typical AOR Canadian Rock, where (with the exception of Rush) it's sometimes hard to tell the remaining artists apart. Confused

The Canadian albums I've found to like/like much so far are:

Harmonium - Les Cinq Saisons
Cowboy Junkies - Whites off Earth Now!!
Voivod - Nothingface
FM - Headroom (Direct to Disc)
