Early in her career, k.d. lang performed at the Winter Olympics in Canada in 1988, was chosen by Roy Orbison to record a duet with him in 1989, which won her Grammy, and recorded with country superstar Dwight Yoakam. k.d. lang has released 7 albums, 3 albums with her band The Reclines in the 80s, and 3 collaboration albums including one in 2002 with Tony Bennett. Before Closer and Shape of You, there was the Rolling Stones. In 1997, k.d. lang received a songwriting credit on the Rolling Stonesβ single Has Anybody Seen My Baby due to similarities to her hit Constant Craving. She was βhonoured and flatteredβ that they proactively gave her the credit. In 1997, she released an album called Drag, themed around cigarette smoking. On the cover, she is wearing a manβs suit. Sheβs in drag. Her performance of Leonard Cohenβs Hallelujah at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver is perhaps the second most popular version of it, after Jeff Buckleyβs cover. She came out in 1992.

Good to see k.d. Lang there Although not that popular back home (except for CC of course), her duet with Elton John called Teardrops had some low rotation in a couple of radios (and ended up reaching #2 in my personal chart )

I LOVE k.d. lang! Her tone and pitch is fantastic. I adore her cover of "Theme From The Valley Of The Dolls" which was on Drag. It's haunting.
I also love her version of "Hallelujah" (it originally appeared on her Hymns Of The 49th Parallel album before she did it at the Olympics).
And she did a fun cover of Barbra Streisand & Donna Summer's Disco classic "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)" with Andy Bell of Erasure.

29. Our Lady Peace/Raine Maida

Our Lady Peace have won ten MuchMusic Video Awards, the most of any artist. Raine Maidaβs real first name was Mike. He changed it to Raine to avoid confusion from having two Mikeβs in the band, along with Mike Turner. In 1998, the band founded the Summersault Festival, a Canada-wide tour they headlined that featured a lineup of bands including Eve 6, Foo Fighters and Smashing Pumpkins. (I saw the 2000 show in Halifax!) During the recording of their 5th album, 2005βs Healthy In Paranoid Times, the band almost broke up over disagreements. It took over 3 years to record the 45 songs that got whittled down to 12. Raine has since criticized the album due to the heavy hand by their label to record songs to get hits. Raine and wife Chantal Kreviazuk have written and recorded together extensively over the years. Raine has co-written songs on most of Chantalβs albums, likewise, Chantal has contributed writing, piano and vocals on Raineβs two solo records. Theyβve also co-written songs for others together, recorded a few songs together and the next natural step, theyβve formed a duo, Sun vs. Moon, with plans to release an album possibly this year. (I saw them perform as Sun vs. Moon a few years back and the new songs they played were actually really good!)

The only #1 loss of the 20s is up next, and this act is also the last artist with the number of contributors in the single digits.

regarding Chromeo, I read somewhere that 1 is Jewish & the other Palestinian...so (if true) their mere existence is quite an inspiration

Billy Talent were originally called Pezz, releasing one album using that band name before switching over to Billy Talent upon learning there was already a band named Pezz. The song This Is How It Goes is about drummer Aaron Solowoniukβs experience with multiple sclerosis. Despite the diagnoses, he still plays with the band.

Have had a soft spot for Chromeo for about a decade now. Love those guys.
Billy Talent were this close to being in my top 10. Literally, the reason they weren't in my top 10 was because I had forgotten about another artist and had to put them top ten, so BT got shifted down to #11. Can't believe it's been nearly 15 years since "Try Honesty".

''Devil in a Midnight Mass'' by Billy Talent made me a rock fan. I was totally stunned when I first saw the Video on MTV. I'm so happy that they are so succesful in Germany (Three #1 Albums). Devil Marlena Nylund Aaron Solowoniuk is on hiatus. For this time he was removed by the drummer of Alexisonfire.

28. Chromeo Chromeo is awesome. have you guys heard that remix he did of that Lorde song; "Green Light". IMOP, the remix blows the original out of the water.
29. Our Lady Peace Nice to see this band show up. very underrated IMOP.
27. Simple Plan Pop Pun k at its best. I need more than two hands to count how many times I've charted this band.

I saw Chromeo at Metropolis in Montreal when 'Don't Turn The Lights On' was at it's peak! Fun show and memorable night.
Tenderoni is one of my faves.

I kinda wanted to see Serena tomorrow on Parliament Hill but the heavy rain and insane security you have to get through to get there are a little offputting. Maybe next time she comes around. She follows me on Twitter so you could say I'm a big deal :kii:

On another note, Serena doesn't love my country. "Stompa" video is geoblocked :(

Too bad it's pretty much going to rain everywhere tomorrow. blah. We get Deadmau5 as our free show so that should be fun hopefully.
