My Favourite Canadian Albums of the Past 20 Years:

- Labour Day – Spirit of the West
- Harvest Moon – Neil Young –
- Twice Removed – Sloan
- Poses – Rufus Wainwright
- The Electric Version – The New Pornographers
- Everything I Long For – Hayden
- You Forgot it in People -- Broken Social Scene

I didn’t include the Arcade Fire or K-Os because they’re still kind of new and I’m not sure if I’ll be as gaga a year from now as I am presently.

There are some glaring omissions. I’m not a big fan of the Rheostatics, Rush, or Alanis Morissette so my list is far from quintessential. I’m probably more familiar with songs from the 70s than complete albums so I’d be willing to scrape my memory glands for a list of the greatest Canadian ditties. What are the best/your favourite Canadian tracks of all time?
