    Gordon Lightfoot, a little---Neil Young: like finger nails on a chalkboard--that'd be a NO.

    (speaking of canucks)
    I think Avril Lavigne has a ton of potential, but she's gotta drop the skater-boy/mall crap. Her well written/arranged songs are very good, and her live performances show she has the vocal chops...

    I went to see April Wine a month ago and they were great!! Personally, I think they are the most underrated band in Canadian music history.
