VA - Music From the 49th Parallel (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3+CD4 

Canada's musical contribution has been massive. For a country with a relatively small population for its land mass (a bit like Australia), they sure has provided us a huge number of amazing musicians. Though the Canadian rock scene doesn't get as much praise as that in the U.S. and UK artists, Canadian rock artists are some of the most popular in the world.  There are 1960's icons and Canadian legends like Young, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen and the indie scene is massive and continues to excite with bands like Arcade Fire and many others. What separates Canadian rock from others is how it has shaped various sub-genres of rock that includes progressive rock, pop, country, punk, heavy metal and indie rock. There are so many great bands and artists that a second 4 CD volume could be filled.

Here are 101 tracks that should invigorate your interest in looking for more Canadian artists. Hopefully here are some new artists for to explore.

  2. Thank you very much BB. I don't really like the "missing so-and-so" game, because I think there aren't many missing... Maybe a Saga title. It's a group that left a bit of an impression on me...

    1. Hi Herve,
      There is always room for more music. Volume two seems to be on the cards. Saga is great.
      Cheers.

  3. Scrolling down the page and saw the title "Music From the 49th Parallel" I thought no way would they know about the actual band 49th parallel (a band I've only heard about)........subsequently I will never question you guys again, not that I ever did in the first place. Being an Aussie this will open my eyes to the wonderful world of Canadian music, just like you've opened the world to Aussie music.....quite often I should add.
