Okay, here’s the deal. If you’re American or British or basically anything but Canadian, the odds are slim to none that you’ll recognize any of these songs. These are songs by artists that had great careers in Canada, but for whatever reason (bad luck, bad labels, bad management, lack of interest, whatever) never got that big break outside of their homeland.
Because of that, I’ve gone with much longer than usual samples, up to about 15 seconds, so you can get at least some actual flavor of the song. Maybe encourage you to look up something by the acts.
Yeah, I could have done an audio quiz with the big Canadian acts from Neil Young to Celine Dion to Nickelback. And I still might.
But this one I did for the love of the music.
Probably about 10 people will play it and know more than 1 song. I’m hoping that those 10 will have eargasms, with songs they may not have heard in 20 years.
So if you’re one of those ten, please leave a comment and a rating. I’d really like to know what you think. |
