How is the tragically hip not in the top 3??? Come on really? Celine dion???
The Hip should have been higher up. Definitely above Shania and Celine Dion. Personally I would have put Leonard Cohen at one but Neil Young is a good one too. The Guess who definitely should have made the list. Drake – I think it’s way too early to put him on this list much less at number two.
Added late. But what the hell, where's BIG WRECK.
Where in the world is Triumph or Annihilator?
given time this one will be one too..original music sounding like their canadian brothers The Band, Neil Young , Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen.. SOUTHERN WOMAN
cbc3 artist#65398 SLOW COOKING
SLEDG'EMMA
PINK MOON
Sarah McLachlan, Hedley, Simple Plan, and on and on and on….This should be the top 30 Canadian Musicians!!!
bach man turner over drive should have been on this list
How is Rush above Celine Dion? Celine Dion is amazing! I love her music along with Shania Twain and Bryan Adams music. She has always been one of my favorite artists and she is my favorite Canadian musicians
Wow, almost everyone on the honourable mention should have made the list. Seems the official top 10 list was made more for acknowledging lesser known people and giving them their place rather than recognizing those who the world actually acknowledge. If I were the Bare Naked Ladies or Alanis Morisette or even Avril Lavigne I'd be pissed. It's almost like the list was made by someone from the CRTC haha
David Wilcox, Kim Mitchell, April Wine
I would have put Oscar Peterson in the list instead of Alanis Mooresette. The dude started playing Be Bop in the 40's. He is one of the all time Jazz Greats. Up there with The Duke, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Herb Ellis.
Tragically Hip > The Band
Celine Dion isn't so great!
Totally agree with the number one and the 2nd place. Neil Young being an icon in pop and Alanis refreshing. Of course Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchel are icons too! Don't care much about these people from Quebec, They talk funny. A bit like the French do over here and we don't like the French. 🙂 LOL
Tom petty?
Any one who came to see if Shawn Mendes was on the list
Again, only an honorable mention for Gordon Lightfoot?
Not even an honourable mention for Billy Talent or Godspeed You! Black Emperor???
Where are Our Lady Peace, Triump and many more???
Feist, Sarah McLachlan.
Top U. K artists
Bruce Cockburn???
Are you kidding me? Arcade Fire should've been waaaaaay higher than 10
Rush.
Justin
Now let's see top 10 Canadian actors
I'm saying this before I see the video, Drake is going to be number one.
Love the list but Alannis should’ve been part of it and not an “honorable mention” :/
I am surprise Justin Bieber didn't make the cut.
The most rigged list ever
what about the bird lady, Ann Murray….no….ok
Apparently I do not know the difference between a singer and musician, thanks Mojo for being clueless as usual. The three members from Rush could occupy three positions on this list alone based on their credibility
Celine, euwwwwww
