Music assignment: Your Canadian Top 10 (posted 5 December 2005)
As part of our all-too-brief excursion into the world of Canadian song, here's an assignment that has as much to do with one of my favourite books (Nick Hornby's High Fidelity) as it does with the goals of this course.
What are your top ten all-time favourite Canadian songs?
What are your top 3 (or more) new discoveries of music on the course iPod?
