Back in 1996 Chart Magazine published the first Top 50 Canadian Albums Of All-Time and created a ton of controversy with the eventual #1 album, Sloan's Twice Removed. Many peaple thought we rigged the results in order to to favour a band we covered in the magazine. The contributers to the poll were industry folks ranging from label publicists to...

1. JONI MITCHELL Blue (Reprise) 1971 It wasn't outright shock that registered on the faces of Chart editors when the final results were tabulated, but more of a mild, and not altogether unwelcome, surprise. Joni Mitchell is someone who, for the most part, has been out of the public eye and consciousness for a number of years now, but that her 1971...

50. BLUE RODEO Casino (Warner) 1990 "All I want in life is for Jim Cuddy to sing me to sleep at night — is that so wrong?" says Jane Tattersall, of Zomba Records, a diehard Blue Rodeo fan who's been "hooked" since Outskirts. While Tattersall was in university, her apartment was robbed. All of her CDs were stolen — except...

30. ALANIS MORISSETTE Jagged Little Pill (Maverick) 1995 With her diary-style rants and ex-boyfriend-crushing anger, Alanis Morissette shed her pop diva skin for a pair of leather pants and multi-million dollar success. Imbued with the sort of troubled girl angst that gets girls spending money and enough chunky guitar to get the boys shelling out...

40. SIANSPHERIC Somnium (Sonic Unyon) 1995 Like a velvet glove dipped in iron, they knew exactly when to punch and when to stroke. Armed with a sinewy intellect and their own brand of gaseous post-rock prescience, they burned a path through the sonic stratosphere. The waves of gentle turbulence and ethereal beauty are still as hypnotic and...

20. THE BAND Music From Big Pink (Capitol) 1968 A promethean debut album. Over 30 years old and still sounding new. It hasn't left the radio waves since, which is where it was first melted to the psychedelic Hammond organ intro of "Chest Fever." Big Pink unifies gospel, country and rock. Robbie Robertson and Rick Danko provided the soul...

10. THE TRAGICALLY HIP Fully Completely (MCA) 1993 Fully Completely for me is the definitive Hip album, bridging the blues-based earlier albums and the more introspective later albums. The swagger of "At The Hundredth Meridian," the punch of "Fully Completely," "Courage," "Locked In The Trunk Of A Car" and...
