We celebrated Canada Day with the Top 100 Canadian Songs of All Time! Of course, it’s all subjective, but it’s a great list of tunes presented to us by The Guess Who’s Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman, along with former Good Rockin’ Tonite host Stu Jeffries.
I, along with a lot of you, predicted the first place finisher. It’s tough to argue with Summer of ’69. How about The Tragically Hip? Three tunes in the Top 10! My family had so much fun at camp, listening to the music, hearing Randy and Burton’s stories, and debating the picks!
