Obviously a lot of emphasis on pop and rock here and mostly youth oriented. No mention of Gordon Lightfoot, Murray McLauchlan, Michael Buble, Bruce Cockburn or Anne Murray, not everyone’s cup of tea but some of the most popular and most awarded performers in Canadian history. Some of these groups are very niche and not very well known. I’m not sure what criteria they used to compile this list.
Yeah... this list is shit. More like Top 25 + 125 random Canadian bands. I've never heard (or even heard of) maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of these, & of the remainder a good 1/2 were one hit wonders or brief sensations & many were very genre specific that most ppl just aren't exposed to. Not to mention the "ranking" system. While I admit the Top 10 were pretty solid (if not perfect), many of our greatest bands didn't rank better than the high hundreds. Not exactly a great selection of "Top" contenders by any sensible definition.
at least this list covers a great variety from a range of years...better compilation than most

As a Canadian I gotta say, this list mostly sucks. It is definitely not what most Canadians listen to. Please try some other lists. And, sorry.
Most of this list is crap.

This list is in no order at all and is not that great imo.
