Canada Day - Top 10 Canadian Songs of All Time
Canada Day Music - It’s Only Rock and Roll (But We Like It)!
Canada is a big place- and you can find just about every kind of music here. But if you had to pick a national genre, it would probably be rock.
We Canadians like to rock about as much as we enjoy watching hockey, lounging by lakes, and apologizing.
Maybe it’s because the Canadian Shield covers half the country. And when you factor in the Rockies, well, that’s a whole lot of rock across the land!
So with Canada Day around the corner, Stingray Music asked rockologist Stu Jeffries and legendary rockers Loverboy to choose their Top 10 Canadian Rock songs of all time. And - drum roll, please - here they are:
1. Summer of '69
- Bryan Adams
2. New Orleans Is Sinking
- The Tragically Hip
3. Life is a Highway
- Tom Cochrane
4. Takin' Care of Business

5. Tom Sawyer

6. Working for the Weekend
