Prior to forming Dragonette with Dan Kurtz (whom she married, but they separated in 2016) and Dan Stouffer, lead singer Martina Sorbara was an up-and-coming singer/songwriter, having released two albums prior to Dragonette (including one of my all-time favourites, The Cure For Bad Deeds). Martina recorded a song with the Basement Jaxx in 2006 a year before Dragonette released their first album Galore. It's a JAM! Take Me Back To Your House - check it out! Martina and Dan wrote a song for Cyndi Lauperβs dance album Bring Ya To The Brink. They recorded a cover of the Mr. Rogerβs Neighbourhood theme Won't You Be My Neighbour for Target ads when they were opening across Canada in 2013.

Neil Young has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice. In 1995 as a solo artist and again in 1997 as a member of Buffalo Springfield. Neil has released 37 albums solo, plus 3 albums with Buffalo Springfield, 8 albums with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, albums with the band Crazy Horse, plus a handful of soundtracks, live albums, and compilation albums. Neil suffered from polio in 1951 during the last outbreak of the virus in Canada. Joni Mitchell also contracted the virus. After nearly a decade of poorly-received often-experimental recordings, Neil made a comeback in 1989 with the political anthem Rockinβ In The Free World. Kurt Cobain quoted a Neil Young lyric in his suicide letter: βItβs better to burn out than fade away.β He won his first Juno Award in 1994 for Best Album. Prior to that, he was nominated for Male Vocalist 9 times, and songwriter twice. Lynyrd Skynyrdβs southern rock classic Sweet Home Alabama is a response to Neil Youngβs Southern Man, a song criticizing rampant racism in the south. They mention Neilβs name in the lyrics.

21. Shawn Mendes
Total Points: 351 Number of lists: 12 Average Rank: 21.8 Median: 21
Years Active: 2013-present Biggest album: Handwritten (2015) Biggest hit single: Stitches (2015)
Province: Ontario en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shawn_Mendes
Born in 1998, Shawn Desman may be the youngest artist on the rankdown. Heβll be 19 next month.

Shawn Mendes first got noticed from uploading covers of songs to Vine. His first Hot 100 single, Life Of The Party, debuted in the Top 25, making him the youngest artist ever to enter the chart in the top quarter. I question Shawnβs general knowledge or Canadian citizenship with this quote: βIβm releasing a song about sex at 18, which is appropriate. I wouldnβt have done it if I were 16 or 17. Iβll release a song about drinking at 21, you know what I mean?β The legal drinking age in Canada is 18 or 19, depending on province.

it would be interesting to know (at some point) the highest ranking song from each list that failed to make the top 50

Rush ranks 86th according to the RIAA with total sales of 25 million. After their label tried to pressure them to record a more commercial record, Rush went the other way on their record 2112, which opened with a 20-minute song divided into 7 sections. Despite this, the album was their first to be certified. It went double platinum in Canada and triple platinum in America. Rush are behind the Beatles and the Rolling Stones for the record of most consecutive gold or platinum records by a rock band. Every studio album theyβve released in Canada, including three in the 2000s, has been certified gold.

Rush was my 3rd concert ever in 1987...i had a crush on a guy from college & he must've been the biggest Rush fan of all time, that's how i was introduced to their music...so he and i and 2 girls from school drove 2 hours up to Chicago to seem them...great show, the lights, the drumming, & even Geddy Lee's vocals were improving

One of the Barenaked Ladiesβ first releases, a self-titled (also referred to as The Yellow Tape), from 1991, was the first indie release to be certified in Canada. It went Platinum. The tape also included a cover of Fight The Power along with several other BNL classics that would make it on their debut major label album Gordon. They were taken off the bill for a NYE show in Toronto after a staffer to the mayor expressed concern that their name was objectifying to women. It was written off by many as political correctness gone too far and the incident helped get them even more exposure. (coincidental pun intended!) Their song Brian Wilson was covered by Brian Wilson on a live album. Their first gold album in the US was their 1996 live album Rock Spectacle. They became known as early adopters of technology including having floppy disc extras included with their 1994 album Maybe You Should Drive, and one of the first to have live recordings of their concerts available after a show. Thereβs a Ben & Jerryβs ice cream flavour named after their song If I Had $1,000,000 named IF I Had 1,000,000 Flavours. In the US, the flavour is sold under the name Everything But Theβ¦
