    A favourite of mine.

    A pox on both of your houses for reminding me about that dribbling shite.

    Musically surely it's the pick of the 5.

    Ingo, I've known you for many years, you're a genuinely nice man with many laudable traits. But your musical taste is, and I mean this the way it sounds, absolutely fucking disgraceful.

    The shit that we sell you and that you think is Canadian music - Bryan Adams, Nickelback, Avril Lavigne, Celine Dion - is mass produced crap for export markets. Actual Canadian national musical heroes are Geddy Lee, Gord Downie, Gordon Lightfoot and Stompin' Tom Connors.

    There is some crossover between globally successful and also liked in Canada - Neil Young, Drake, Shania Twain - but it ain't the shit you listen to.

    Apparently my top five on my unwrapped 23 list is:

    72 Seasons - Metallica
    Lost - Bring Me The Horizon
    Pride In The Name Of Love - U2 (I don't remember listening to this even once)
    Me vs me Vs all Y'all - Can't Swim (No Idea what this song is?)
    Amen - Lil Uzi Vert and Bring Me The Horizon (which I think is a throwaway tune).

    So I think apart from the top two they are making it all up. So maybe Ingo is as well. Just A thought.

    Chicago: A bit bewildered by the algorithm.

    I am surprised that one of Ingo's top tunes seems to be an Australian Vietnam vet's singalong.

    Often listen to Neil Young but Russ has reminded me that I used to love Gordon Lightfoot back in the day.

    Just popping in to mention my favorite Canadian band (and pretty high up there overall): Sloan.

    Can't believe that nobody has mentioned that Joni Mitchell is part Canadian. Fucking Philistines.

    Back in my Usenet days, The Tragically Hip was the Canadian band that all the Canuck muso nerds desperately wanted us cool Blur fans to get into.

    We never did. But I recall they weren’t terrible. But Sloan definitely were.

    The Hip were fine, they were a blues and Canadiana band that formed the soundtrack of every party, campfire and road trip that every Canadian of my age ever enjoyed. I like them, but I don't have the rabid devotion of people who grew up with them.

    This is probably my favourite Hip song:

    I think I see why they never made it outside Canada.

    (Edit: and Imugr is evidently in on the Conspiriacy)

    My top 5 songs were:

    Die On A Rope - Distillers
    Halo - Machine Head
    Deutschland - Rammstein
    When The Contagion Is You - Jasta ft Matt Heafy
    Duality - Slipknot

    All of those are on my gym playlist so that would explain why they featured so much. Excellent choices all of them though.

    Top 5 most played artists were:

    Slipknot
    Bruce Springsteen
    Queens Of The Stone Age
    In Flames
    NOBRO

    Quite proud of how I've managed to span genres there - alternative metal, rock and roll, stoner rock, melodic death metal, and garage punk. I am a model of eclecticism.
