Is it okay if I rank some of the artists based solely on their music instead of taking their style & social image into consideration? Any way you like! |

We're still in make-or-break mode! Every submission can and will have an impact in a big way - which you'll see when the results are revealed!

I just LOVE my top 20. Ranking those incredible artists was really hard because #16 (for example) seems way too low for an act you love. My #1 isn't that surprising but I'm still in shock. If you told me three years ago that in June 2017 I'd have this act at the top of my Canadian artists chart, I'd probably laugh at you.

So excited!! I keep looking for other fun tidbits by looking at the numbers and figures in different ways to come up with interesting little treats. Fascinating! |

I hope the artists in my rankdown that didn't start in this century make the cut. I'll probably lose several of them, but I hope not many  |

Rose "Payola" Nylund - looking at your avatar & mine, a thought just occurred to me...how weird/funny would it be for Rose to turn up on Twin Peaks...ordering creamed corn at the RR diner, I'd laugh my ass off or BOB visiting the girls in Florida...if anyone could handle BOB, it's Dorothy!

 It's time for the Top 50 Canadian Artists of all time as decided by you! Thank you all for submitting lists for this. As I might have mentioned before, I'm VERY excited about this! Even in my earliest days as a music fan, I was always drawn to music by Canadian artists. I'm not really sure why and I still don't know but my music collection has a large amount of CanCon and many of my favourites are from here so I had a lot of fun putting this list together as Pulse's contribution to the commemoration of Canada's 150th! Before I start the actual list, I'm going to start with some fun facts about Canada for those of who you might not know.  The Dominion of Canada was established on July 1, 1867 starting with four provinces, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario. Here's a graphic that displays the map of Canada over the years.  Canada is the second largest country by area (fourth largest by land area) Canada’s population is just over 35 million (38th largest) 1/3 of Canada’s population lives in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver 20% of Canadians were born in another country. Canada removed the final ties of legal dependence on Britisn in 1982 when it received full sovereignty. Canada has two official languages, though New Brunswick is the only province to have two official languages. The first people to inhabit Canada did so about 15,000 years ago. The first Europeans to come to Canada came around 1000AD and landed at the northern tip of Newfoundland. Canada is the most educated country in the world with the highest percentage of its population having post-secondary education. Canada has more lakes than the rest of the world combined. Canada is 30% forest. It’s legal to sell sex in Canada but not legal to buy it. (Prostitution is legal) The longest street in the world is Yonge St, 1896km long. Canada fought and won against America in two wars in 1775 and 1812. Alberta doesn’t have rats (the animal anyway) and hasn’t for over half a century. The world’s first UFO landing pad was built in Alberta in 1967. Marriage was legalized for all couples in 2005. Canadian inventions: telephone, light bulb, basketball, standard time, zipper, Superman. You’re welcome. Prominent Canadian Pulse members: @drag27 , @pma2015 , Censor Kanenrá:ke ry4n lyhom Janhova's Witness Devin , (I think) someguy and me, Rose "Payola" Nylund . I missed so many. :'(

"The longest street in the world is Yonge St, 1896km long." isn't part of it technically considered part of a highway now though? |

If I redid my list, DFA1979 would be in.
Rooting for Arcade Fire and Carly to dominate!

It’s legal to sell sex in Canada but not legal to buy it. (Prostitution is legal) How does this work? It caused a bit of an uproar with certain groups because it puts prostitutes at risk. I think the law was meant to help them by not giving them legal ramifications for selling sex but to put the onus on the people who buy it. |

50. Bachman-Turner Overdrive
Total Points: 190
Number of lists: 8

Median: 27.5
Years Active: 1973-2005
Biggest album: Not Fragile (1974)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachman%E2%80%93Turner_Overdrive
With the final list I received, BTO edged out Randy Bachman’s other band The Guess Who, who had hovered near the low 40s through much of the tabulating process.
Individual Rankings:
Unhinged - #13
someguy - #13
janinho - #15
@jamesflame - #22
Mirago - #33
Red - #35
Juanca - #41
aerodynamite - #46

Ky - n/c
Leaf - n/c
Pipa - n/c
@quirkyfarang - n/c
Rose "Payola" Nylund - n/c
Butterflies & Hurricanes - n/c
trebor - n/c
Between 1973 to 1984, BTO released 9 studio albums.
They had 6 Top 40 hits on the Hot 100.
In 2009, Randy and Fred Turner reunited but due to legal issues, they weren’t able to retain the use of the original bandname and instead go by Bachman & Turner. They released an album in 2010.
Randy Bachman is the father of Tal Bachman who released an album in 1999 that featured the hit She’s So High. Tal was included on 5 lists but ranked even lower than Magic! |
