Funny seeing you post that Dion, a good friend i golf with (is actually a pro) is married to his daughter :D
I've seen worse.
My thread's been infested, oh my.

OK, be like that. Also ffs don't use "infested" to dehumanize like fucking Trump.

The 701 through Toronto use to be the widest road in the World. Don't know if that's still true.
Kiefer Sutherland :unsure:

For music , Lightfoot is probably the best representation of the country he's from. For athletics, Gretzky is too Americanized so Gordie Howe or Bobby Orr. On the whole though Team Canada from the original Soviet series.
Anne Murry vs Gordon Lightfoot??
Margaret Atwood??
Bobby Orr's parents/siblings still live in Canada;)
Anne Murray is at best only minorly talented Murray's success is mostly based on her being bland yet personable. Sort of like Jimmy Fallon if Jimmy Fallon didn't make me sick or conversely if I wanted to punch Anne Murray in the face.Quote:

Marketing something made up almost entirely of sugar, starch and chemicals as a healthier option seems more American if anything to me.Quote:

As fine Canadian (West coaster), I second that! :happy:
Despite all the love for Gordon Lightfoot displayed in this thread, it seems I have yet to post this.

I'll agree, insofar as you bring up Diana Krall - always loved her.Quote:

While I'm at it, RIP to one of the TRUE rock Gods, Neil Peart, the best fucking drummer who ever lived.

Music is more than just technical mastery. That said, rankings are always going to be part objective and part subjective so as long as both drummers are appreciated for their talent and the joy they brought to people then I'm more or less fine with whatever.
Idol: Your comments of rating the best drummers is interesting, really if you think about it Buddy Rich by far would be considered one of the best drummers of all time, yet Bonham i would think second, and the reason is for innovation, and understanding drumming...
Now Neil Peart (A great loss and rest his soul )yes being a great drummer for sure is not really considered a drummer per say, but a percussionists;)
Funny when you look at it and see Peart mimic really one of the greatest drummers of all time even live in concert his solo also:D

Bonham's kid is not his dad but still not bad..

You could even go as far as saying Chester Thompson is one of the best in the world, but really who is the innovator;)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sA3rJXV4R4E
Again just my opinion
Rich doesn't qualify on the basis that Jazz isn't music. :)
My fist would like to play percussion on your nose.Quote:

Poutine!!!!!!!!
If you take three foods(fries, cheese curds and gravy) that already exist and just mix them together did you actually invent something or are you more or less just cleaning off your plate?
