kii: you are being the PC police. and your virtuous, self-appointed crusading on behalf of those poor unrepresented minorities is utterly noxious: you’re suggesting that the tokenism in the polaris nominations is a good thing, that an indie-rock website should put some hip-hop on there just to satisfy white guilt, and, worst of all you’re perpetuating a particularly noxious, persistent stereotype: that hip-hop is the music of black people, and that indie-rock is the music of white people. how would you have complained if, say, buck 65 and the dears were on here?

(ps: list-making dudes: no destroyer? aka: the-greatest-canadian-music-in-the-history-of-humankind? really? and no sunset rubdown and handsome furs, who are infinitely superior to wolf parade’s safe middle-ground? feel ashamed. for all eternity.)

I like the list, but I still dream of the day when someone making a list of best Canadian albums switches numbers 1 and 2.

Nice call on The Organ. Their presence is missed.

The omission of both the Constantines’ Tournament of Hearts and Shine A Light, as well as Controller.Controller’s History is indeed a tragedy, especially considering the number of repeat artists on the list.

I’ve yet to see an editorial staff brave enough to omit either Arcade Fire album from their best of lists.

Great list, cvc!

Your list shows what a fortunate environment Canada is for music: some of the artists on your list are not well-known even to the indie blogger cognoscenti, yet have much support in Canada; and then those that are known are REALLY known (check out how high your top acts rank in the pitchfork 2000s list). This bodes well for Ca Va Cool’s 2010s list.

I might be wise, but as the people of Santo Poco showed us, those with strong hearts win in the end.

I know that the ca va cool writers share their musical treasures with us from the heart, and that a key component of multiculturalism is for everyone to do just that.
