What does Obama's Canadian Playlist tell us about our Canadian musical culture?

From the lens Obama's Canadian Playlist ~~ 49 Songs That Define Canada and Our Music!.

Well, there you have it, some quintessentially, made-in-Canada music. What did you think of this page? Of CBC's '49 Songs From North of the 49th Parallel?'

    Absolutely amazing - a lot of work went into this lens I'm sure! I think the Canadian playlist was missing a few artists & songs, but happy with a lot of selections that were made! Thanks for sharing this, I believe I was living in Canada at this point and had no idea about it.

    I was visiting my daughter her senior year at Yale and we went out to dinner with a bunch of her friends and two of them, Canadians, burst out in an absolutely perfect unison rendition of "Canada is Really Big." I feel out of my chair. They were kind enough to do it again out on the sidewalk. I'm so happy it made it onto your lens. I'm about to feature this lens on my thank-you lens.

    Really neat topic! I learned a lot. I think having a national play list is really a good idea. Of course the United States would have a "Top 40" and probably a few suggestions would end up being Canadian!
