Bullfrog - "Reverse Psychology"

Mr. T

April Wine - "Rock & Roll Is A Vicious Game"

A great Canadian band that doesn't get as much air time on todays radio stations as they should.  Originating from Halifax, these guys made it big through the 70's into the 80's and haven't stopped.  You can usually find them touring the local fair scene throughout the summer.  Being this close to Canada day, I figured I would start now.  Plus, April Wine is Ricky's favourite band!!

Mr. T is back!!
After a long leave of absence, exploring the new ways of the world, shaking babies and kissing hands, I'm back.   What better way to come back then with a classic.  Jewish guy singing about Jesus, 4 chords and some distortion.  Here come the weekend!

Also a big welcome to Douglas!!

Drive Like Jehu - "Here Come The Rome Plows"

These guys inspired the likes of At The Drive-In and are nearly responsible for that whole not-punk, not-metal speed-core rock style of the late 90's, early 2000's. Other associated acts are Hot Snakes, Pitchfork and Rocket From The Crypt. Check them all out.

Mr. T

The Tragically Hip - "Wheat Kings"

Love me some Hip...

Runner Up...

Van Morrison - "Jackie Wilson Said"

G-Man

Manic Street Preachers - "If You Tolerate This Then Your Children Will Be Next"

It's almost a sin to pick their biggest North American single, what with so many fantastic deep tracks from so many spectacular albums to choose from. This one came on my playlist while trying to pick between a few other candidates and it just hit me. I had to go with the Preachers. This was the song that made me aware of their existence anyway.

Runner Up...

Weezer - "Unspoken"

Speaking of deep tracks, here's one off of Weezer's 2010 album Hurley. I give Weezer a bit of grief, which I feel is often justified, but there is no denying that this soft, short acoustic jam is one of their bright spots.
