Today's Topic at Essential Canadian is MUSIC:

http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/Con...=1150797693190

I can see Lightfoot being an essential Canadian part of our Canadian music but for essential CANADIAN song I don't see many votes happening for The Wreck -the story is about an American ship...

CRT is a better choice to reflect ESSENTIAL Canadian music...
The other nominated song of Lightfoot's is IYCRMM. A classic.

My (American) vote is for CRT. I agree re TWOTEF, and IYCRMM is one of my favorites but is not particularly *Canadian* - it appeals to very universal feelings. CRT is iconic in its subject and writer/performer.

"Puppy Love"??? Sorry, I'm fine with Paul Anka for "My Way" and the theme from the Tonight Show, but that one and "She's Havin' My Baby" - gag gag gag. At least PL was of its time, a teen angst special,complete with sob in the voice.

I would also vote for CRT. The Canadian Idols really did a great job singing it - it was wonderful.
