Usher Leading Best Canadian Album Vote
12/19/08 12:34pm
by Kate Harper (CHARTattack)
We're shocked to see that David Usher's Wake Up And Say Goodbye is leading the way with a whopping 76 votes. The former Moist frontman's closest competitors are Wintersleep, whose Welcome To The Night Sky has 16 votes. That's followed by The Weakerthans' Reunion Tour with 14 and Wolf Parade's At Mount Zoomer with 11.
Why does Usher have so many votes? We've opened the poll up to unlimited voting, but he's been leading since we put the darn poll up. Did people not get the memo about it being 2008, not 1998? Where's the usual legion of Simple Plan fans? Their self-titled album so far has no votes. How is this possible?
You can vote as many times as you please in the poll until January. In the meantime, please feel free to post a link to our readers' poll on whatever fan site you choose. We enjoy internet troop surges to our site.

i keep thinking maybe those guys who wrote the review and article are fresh off from high school or something....chart attack's "writers" or "journalists" should learn how to write professionally...i wouldn't step down into their level...that's just to show they are in favour with other bands that sound the same vocally and lyrically...."they" have their own opinions but anyone can agree that david's music is well defined from others...so you want to read a fair review from a well known site?

ILoveYouToo, you're probably one of those overly dramatic teenagers that sit in their room crying to Simple Plan and MCR half the day before putting in plastic vampire teeth and reading Twilight. Be quiet, please. :)
WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE? I can't speak for all, but I am simply an addict of great music, which I find is hard to come by these days. David Usher is the only musician I've ever listened to who never disappoints me. I can honestly say I love each and every one of his songs, including everything he did in Moist. He's brilliant and deserves a lot more respect.

Hey everyone, it's christmas! let's not get nasty and start in with personal attacks. ILoveYouToo was undoubtedly just making a rhetorical comment when they asked who are you people. it's actually not a bad question when you think about it.
Anyway, music is subjective and apart from what people might argue over artistic merit, we can agree that as a person we wish David the best. Which in his case, best is very likely managing the organic produce section of a Sobey's sometime in 2009.

I like when they showed the video for “Push” on Beavis & Butthead. Watching Beavis sing “fade away, fade away” still makes me laugh. If the David Usher internet army is looking for inspiration through his lyrics, might i suggest those.
1 for Bison BC!

Happy holidays to all. Remember, it's all in fun here. I'm more used to sports sites where what has been said above is very, very mild to what sports fans say to each other, this is actually almost curteous in nature compared with sports to be honest. I do appreciate the possible different meaning of "who are you people" but referring to David Usher as not relevant, I must disagree. He is someone who writes interesting and thought provoking lyrics, perhaps not screaming like some young bands do and few if any swear words. But he is married and raising 2 children and who he is now in his early 40's is not who he was in his early 20's, like most of us. That is very relevant to society and helping shape Canada. While you might not be in his space, I think you should respect his space. I just find for myself, I tend to not comment on things which don't interest me, for example I don't go into the Mixed Martial Arts site and say that sport is not to my liking. I avoid it and go to the sports I like. To me, that is just plain netiquette from where I come from. Cheers!

It might have something to do with the community that David Usher has created at davidusher.com with his blog and social networking sites. He has engaged his audience and they are invested in return. He is changing along with the industry. Would make a great story in Chart actually!
