Randomly hating Canadian artists

Eating toast, drinking coffee, listening to the CBC when the two most barf inducing singers EVER were played. Why on earth would they do that this time of the day?

Rufus Wainright, I would rather stick my face into the whirring blades of my lawnmower than have to listen to this insufferable, drippy idiot. His singing is pointless and his interview flare just as pointless. I am more amuseddigging through a torn bag of filth from my vacuum cleaner than listening to Poopus Painwright. I cannot stand the man!

Teaghan and Sarah. Why does someone not slug these two lukewarm, talentless twin cuties? YUCK! Every song they sing sounds like every other song they sing. And it all sounds like farts in a bathtub. I hear those two and wonder what set of accidental events got them to where they are, which I hope to GOrdon is nowhere near me! WOW! THere is no justice in this world when people like those two twerps manage to get famous.

Corb Lund, Gordon Lightfoot, even old tightly bound and practically personalityless Anne Murray, the Bare Naked Ladies, Red Rider...this country does have talent but I think Rufus and the twins should be our next export, or deport or unplug. Ugh. Now I can't eat.

Who do you hate listening to?

Justin Bieber's music makes me positively stabby.

I did like the Rankin Family but Jimmy Rankin all by himself makes my ears bleed. Oh and CBC LOVES to play Jimmy Rankin.

A couple months ago CBC one said they were going to play something new by 'Men Without Hats'. They played it. It sounded exactly like 'Safety Dance'. Then they mocked it. I am not sure if they set it up preparing to mock, but after hearing the song I don't think they could help it. It sounded just like 'Safety Dance' only worse.

So we're to send all the R. Wainright CDs we can find to Uno? Is this correct?
Since I have no idea of whom you speak, it shan't happen soon from here.
We have satellite TV and listen to music there, it is a simple fix to switch to something else, when say, a Karen Carpenter, or equally dull song comes on.
Can't say many songs haunt me as they do you, but that's probably because I choose to and do change the station. Or turn it off when I can't. Then I just sing my favorite Dave Matthews tunes!

CBC has a lot to answer for. I'd agree with your list Uno. Not much of one for Jimmy Rankin or other drunken sad Celts in pubs yowling away.

Which reminds me, it isn't just Canadians, those "Celtic Thunder" specials make my skin crawl!

Sheesh, we are an intolerant bunch!

Johnny Reid.

When he comes on the radio, I turn it off.

See? Not just a Canadian but a caterwauling Celt into the bargain.

Oh, how could I have forgotten my least favourite ever? If Bieber makes me stabby, Jonny Reid makes me positively homicidal.

For me its Celine Dion, thank Gordon we deported her to Vegas. So she can now eek out her craptacular existance. Oh and Mariah Carey they both hit notes that make my ears bleed

It must be a CBC thing either that or that Jealous virus is alive and doing well.

OK dredging up bad memories.

Two horrific experiences;

1. Rita MacNeil singing Proud Mary.

2. Tommy Hunter singing CCR's Travelin' Band <shudder>

I like 'Pop Goes the World'.

I don't like Corey Heart or Crash Test Dummies.
Funny about Corey Heart was a few years ago I saw him in an interview saying how he felt his videos in the 80s type casted him, ruined is career. The interview was about his comback. I swear when they showed the 'new video' he was still doing the same schtick as he did in the 80s. Sad.

............there's a lot of artist that are just as they say "" a flash in the pan "" I think that if they start off with a huge hit ,it distroys any chance of evolveing into what might have been a great career ? A lot of good one hit wonders out there ,unfortunatly they never get past that point

Often MoreMuchMusic plays "The Top 100 One Hit Wonders." Always fun to see a video, hear a tune that strikes a "I remember that!" response. Hey that can be a topic by itself.

A new posting that you give the artist's name ,the songs name and the lyrics and what and why you like them ?? I'd be game for that ........but just Canadain Artist's ??? How about North American ???
