There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I'm just wondering why Stan Rodgers only got one song in the list, while Gordon Lightfoot got a couple...then again, I have been influenced by my Canadian filker/folkie friends whose taste may not match the CBC.(And certainly doesn't match the people in the blog linked above)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The Guess Who, that's who.

Where the hell is Joey Shithead?
DOA made it in at 49.

I think Gordon has a more pan-Canadian appeal, while Stan tends to be better known among folkies and the East Coasters.

What?!? (goes to read list)
Although I agree with Sue. Plus, a lot of other artists have performed Lightfoot's songs, not so true with Stan Rodgers.

Ok, that explanation makes some sense to me. Stan Rodgers is better known in my circles, though most of those folks are from around Ontario. (Or not Canadian. The World Folk Music Association had a tribute to him at their benefit show in 2004, but that was here in DC)

Why I'm a music geek:
When I was a young lad, 7 or 8 or so, my favorite song was Space Oddity. It was the only song on the radio that was about space, and, like many, I was a space freak. (Still am, in fact.) But, being 7 or 8, I had no idea who it was.
Fast forward to my teen years. Being the early/mid 80's, new wave was all the rage, and one of the kings was David Bowie, who had become my favorite musician, based mostly on his Young Americans album. My creative writing teacher liked to have music playing while we were working on the literary magazine, as many people would imagine she would. One day, amidst the Peter Gabriel and Laurie Anderson (both of whom are still favorites of mine), I heard the familiar countdown. I asked who it was, and when I found out that my favorite artist had done my favorite song, well, I was hooked right there, completely. Not only on Bowie, but on the idea that who made the songs MATTERED.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We're watching Live8 right now. Pink Floyd is on and the BF is nearly dying from the combo of nostalgia, guitar lust and seeing how old all the guys look. Someone in the audience has a sign which reads "Floyd reunites. Pigs have flown."
Still sound pretty damn good though.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
I'm watching the highlights on ABC, since I have no cable. However, I heard MTV's coverage was horrendous, with lots of cutaways to blathering VJs, many commercials, and interviews with people like Jimmy Fallon.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised, considering how much they obviously don't care about being MUSIC television anymore, but it's still so disappointing, after their great coverage of Live Aid.
In other news, they keep showing a Nokia commercial with a song that's got to be by Moby. Does anyone know what song this is? Looking online didn't turn up anything.

Anybody heard Vanilla Ninja? I'm intrigued by the name, but know little else about them (except what it says at All Music and Wikipedia, of course).
