I can't be bothered to read every post, so forgive me for any repeats.
How about:
The Grapes of Wrath -- Backward Town, Oh Lucky Man, All the Things I Wasn't (etc)
The Pursuit of Happiness -- I'm an Adult Now
Nothern Pikes -- Wait For Me, She Ain't Pretty
Shuffle Demons -- Spadina Bus, Cheese and Bread
Skydiggers -- I Will Give You Everything, Leslie (etc)
Rheostatics -- Record Body Count, Saskatchewan
Wide Mouth Mason -- My Old Self
Hmmm . . . so much good stuff out there . . . . |

Au contraire, Mr. Kirk. (You've been demoted.)
With a voice like fingernails on a chalkboard, the woman should have her lips sown shut. (She can write OK. No complaints there.) But that voice. Yikes.
And WTH is 'Nanaimo' anyway? I'm in a PC bang with that name and someone on this thread mentioned it. (The NANAIMO: A new culture for the noblians) |
Ever had a Nanaimo bar? Oh my god there good eating. |

Nobody has mentioned the most listened to Canadian in the history of music. (You Snobs!)
Here is at least one of her many tunes you might find palatable (it's not one of my top-20 favs of hers, but whatever, it's one tune that even some music snobs have found acceptable).
Celine Dion's My Heart will Go On (Titanic theme):
Every night in my dreams
I see you. I feel you.
That is how I know you go on.
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on.
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never go till we're one
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
There is some love that will not
go away
You're here, there's nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on |

Yata Boy what are you some kind of redneck misogynist you don't like Joni Mitchell? I agree she's a bit much sometimes. Screechy maybe. The hippie cook from near Kelowna B.C. at a bush camp used to play Joni Mitchell so much it began to seem like a kind of female anthem, Helen Reddy ('I am woman, hear me roar....'). And if I heard 'catch me I think I'm fallin'...in love againnn...when I get that crazy feelin' I KNOW I'm in trouble again..'.one more time I'd say, 'Joni, you're screechy'. It's that high, screechy note at KNOW that gets you, right?
I know what you mean.
But she pulls it off. Like Schwa says she a genius, was a prodigy, her writing is poetry...
You gotta be yankin' my chain making me look like Mr Sensitive Dearly defending Joni Mitchell, argh! But I'll bet that genius horse faced woman genius can open a beer with her teeth....big, equine chompers.... |

funny that bruce cockburn get's bleeped. when a cock falls in the forest, does anybody hear?
blue rodeo was good. are they still singing? daniel lanois too. he's good.
there was a song i heard once, eons ago, on the Video show on CBC, with that samantha person. anyways, it was about someone climbing up on a block of ice, but falling asleep before they died. that was the last line of the song. what is that? i'm sure it was a canadian band. |

MAYBE???
If I ever had the misfortune to meet the woman, I'd put my hand down her throat and pull her vocal cords out. She is the world's single greatest argument in favor of mimes.
I think L. Cohen is second only to Dylan in great number of songs written so cannot be accused of insisting on 'great vocalists'. All I can say is that every time I heard Big Yellow Taxi I wanted to yank the radio out of the car and toss it out the window. The woman should be strangled with her guitar string. Slowly.
If I were ever stranded on a deserted island and had a choice of an endless loop of Lover Boy or Joni Mitchell to listen to, I'd pick Lover Boy without hesitation--then beat myself to death with a coconut.
PS: There is a rumor that Sartre wrote 'No Exit' while listening to Joni 'sing'.
