Crazy Don Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 As I'm listening to his version of the Ronettes' "Baby I Love You," how come no one has mentioned Andy Kim? He had a few hits, plus wrote a whole bunch, such as the Archies' "Sugar Sugar." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyguitar Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 (edited) I am a modestly avid fan of Tal Bachman (son of) whose debut album is stuffed full of great toons....well worth a check-out. I have wonderfull memories of trying to undo my first brassierre whilst his father's band churned out their 70's hits...now I enjoy his tunes in a less charged atmosphere....!

Steel2Velvet Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Avril Lavigne is the best ever no doubt about it!!!!!!!!!! There are some Michael Jackson fans (somewhere) that would argue his case. And in case you were going to say, "He's not Canadian," he had something done ... and now he is!

Johnny; if your parents allowed you to wear a brassiere, the least they could have done was to teach you how to manage the fastenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Maybe you Ken, can shed some light on why I have overheard more Canadians, than not, dissin' on Brian Adams? I always thought he was ok, I mean if people could go so ga-ga over Bruce Springsteen, why not Brian Adams. I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberjudge Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 They're gone and you forgot them: Glass Tiger, best known forDon't Forget Me (When I'm Gone) and Nick Gilder( Hot Child in the City ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Probably because he chose to leave Canada and live in L.A. Not saying that is good nor bad, I'm not really a fan of his, but that is the general mood toward him. Rush are proud of Toronto and let everyone know it, Anne Murray has long been a resident of Springhill, N.S., people know it, Lightfoot has done plenty of songs about Canada and is proud of his Orillia roots, the Barenaked Ladies are intrinsically Canadian, mentioning all types of Canadian landmarks (the Danforth in "Old Apartment) and Canadiana (Kraft Dinner). Adams seems to make an effort to shed his Canadian roots. Which is fine, to each his own... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars88 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I was just about to mention Glass Tiger. I might be wrong about this, but I think our radio stations have to play a certain percentage of Canadian songs. There was a time when you could not escape Glass Tiger's Don't Forget Me, or Gino Vanelli's Black Cars (even though they made these "hits" over 20 years ago).

Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Maybe you Ken, can shed some light on why I have overheard more Canadians, than not, dissin' on Brian Adams? I always thought he was ok, I mean if people could go so ga-ga over Bruce Springsteen, why not Brian Adams. I don't get it. Bryan Adams is not even close to Springsteen! By no means as a singer or songwriter. Bryan seemed a bit more pop oriented. I hear him on lite-rock stations quite often. The only song of his I will listen to is the Summer of '69. Other than that, I turn the dial. What was that lame song he did for that terrible Johnny Depp movie with Marlon Brando? Can't remember the name of either, very forgettable.

Lucky Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I don't think it's just Canadians who don't care much for him, obviously. "Summer of '69" was a great song. That's about it for Bryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
