Your right Erik Kiss is waaaaayyyyyy better.

Like I said before, it's silly to compare them because they weren't trying to do the same thing.

Don't like hiphop? Let's go opposite side of the field..How about guitar virtuosos? Don Ross (guitar fingerpicking world champion TWICE, Liona Boyd. Both internationally acclaimed. )



Plus, we have LEAF!!! And that pretty much sews it up right there.

Take THAT Caravan Ray!

We used a Gordon Lightfoot song ("Beautiful") for our first dance at the wedding. Also I'm taking Michelle to see him in concert this summer. Rock!

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is such a stellar tune.

yes, it is, but i was forbidden from using it for the first dance

Welll... I can understand that... kinda morbid for a wedding!

Sundown, also a kick ass Lightfoot tune.

He's a truly great songwriter.

I play The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald as part of my 'Death Set' sometimes, which usually also includes Maxwell's Silver Hammer and Country Death Song (Violent Femmes). Seems to go over surprisingly well in the bars.

Slightly More On Topic: Wasn't Autograph from Australia? Tuuuurn up... the raaaadio... or were they from Russia? Ah, I can't remember.
Ben Folds isn't from Australia, but he does have a place there. Oh, and Men At Work. I like those guys.

ha, back off topic. tyrrell, you have a recording of your version of fitz? i'd like to hear it.

Has no one mentioned Leonard Cohen? Or Neil Young? If you're going to fight for Canada, drop some good names.

Neil Young is Canadian? Wow, didn't know that one. I love how this has turned into a complete Canada vs. Australia contest. Apparently, that Britain has better bands than the US is in near total agreement.

Not from me! Rawr rawr rawr.

Now I won't have a bad word said against those young lads. Though I live in Brisbane now - I was born and bred in Newcastle - the home of the 'chair and the mighty Newcastle Knights Rugby League football team.

Us Novocastrians stick together (also I actually think they are (or were?) a pretty good band)

For my wedding we used "Rock and Roll All Nite" by KISS - that was cool
