Happy Canada Day one and all! For those of you who aren't from the land of hockey and maple syrup, it might come as a surprise that we actually count rock as one of our foremost imports. Particularly in the last decade I am proud to say that a number of first rate bands and artists have made a name for themselves, although plenty of high volume rock n' roll has been emanating from the great white north for decades now. Anyways, here's a little something I threw together... my Top 10 Canadian albums of all time!

1. Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere(1969)
2. Black Mountain - Black Mountain (2005)
3. Godspeed You Black Emperor! - Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven (2000)
4. Fucked Up - The Chemisty Of Common Life (2008)
5. Rush - 2112 (1976)
6. Voivod - Killing Technology (1987)
7. Jerk With A Bomb - Pyrokinesis (2002)
8. Bison - Quiet Earth (2008)
9. Exciter - Heavy Metal Maniac (1983)
10. Anvil - Metal On Metal (1982)



Former Philadelphia Flyers captain Bobby Clarke got his teeth knocked out in the mosh pit at a D.O.A. show in 1981. He still thinks Joey Shithead totally sold out and that the Subhumans were way better.
