gd it, Jefe

Since BTO was before your time, here were the other Easter Eggs:

“We have to go into overdrive to get Bachmann.

While Cael may let it ride after this huge class, he doesn’t even have to go out of state - just roll on down the highway to Faith Christian.

I trust Cael will take care of business and that we haven’t seen nothing yet as far as recruiting hauls.”

BTO is definitely on the Canadian Rock n Roll Mt. Rushmore - though that’s not saying much. The pride of Winnipeg, Manitoba

The story about how Taking Care of Business came to be is fascinating.

The great Gino Vannelli too

Wow, no love for Corey Hart! Flashback to my high school days back in Hickory, PA

I mean if we are unironically throwing in Loverboy and Avril, then we gotta mention the kings right?

 

[Chickenman Testa]

As a proud part-Canadian (grandfather was born and grew up in Southern Ontario), I still can’t defend their musical output as a whole (despite some highlights), but I present below representations of unchallenged Canadian greatness:

[86PSUPaul]

Interesting Canadian radio fact, they are required to play a certain percentage of songs by Canadian artists, maybe 83%…

I wonder if they got that idea from the French. For years (maybe still) the French limited the amount of English words that were allowed to be on the radio--wanting to preserve the relative purity of the French language.

Similar to Quebec. If you want to ship product to Quebec, and there is English text on the product, then there needs to be corresponding French as well. Difficult to do on many products as you have limited space. We have opted for ICONs instead, so that there is no need for dual language support, but the only issue is that the ICONs are difficult to interpret sometimes, so now nobody has a clue what they mean until they have to look it up on our on-line manuals.

Also, add Anne Murray to the list of Canadian singers. Somedays it isn't bad to pop in some older adult contemporary and chill. Other days, AC/DC Thunderstruck is needed. Today is shaping to be the later

Ok, just for the sake of discussion…USA vs Canadian Mt. Rushmore:

USA:
Bob Dylan
Bruce Springsteen
Prince
Jimi Hendrix
(Eff Elvis, he was purely derivative & you could say The Beach Boys, but not my style)

Canada:
Neil Young
The Band
Rush
Joni Mitchell

Pretty damn competitive, I’d say.

We bury them with our 2nd and 3rd lines

Absolutely true. Completely agree. However, the Mt. Rushmores are tight!

Rush is all you need

Who doesn’t? Oh….. you mean the band…. Yeah, they aren’t too bad either.

Brittania rules the waves

The Beatles

With an endless bench full of killers that would make Cael jealous.

The Killers are from Las Vegas, so they're ours.

LOL I didn't know and would have guessed that they were brits.

All this talk about Canada and not a single "eh."

Some of you missed good opportunities too, eh?

Love Petty, but does he crack that top 4?

Umm, there was this little British band called The Rolling Stones…

 

[a_mshaffer]

yea tough call. U could say Jimmy left a little too early and sometimes I'm not that big of a fan of Bruce. So in my book, at my age, I say yea. On XM I'll listen to Petty's station before the Boss'.

a lot of British talent - Kinks, the Who have to be mentioned. Guess Who for the Canadiens. On the American front, unique talent (and not a drug guy) was Zappa. Allman Bros rank high...sheesh, depends on your mood

 

[Roar More]

The Four Lads - from Canada... or Istanbul, but not Constantinople.

The British Mt. Rushmore is absolutely indisputable.
The Rolling Stones
The Beatles
Led Zeppelin

For all the times I've been to Las Vegas, I have yet to see a single Prince impersonator.

I'd also put Van Halen, Tom Petty, and Michael Jackson ahead of Prince. Maybe (probably) more.

BTW, putting Prince on any list probably just earned you a lifetime ban from any future @smalls103 content.
