THE HONESTY'S TOO MUCH:  If there's one place that lies uncomfortable in the heretofore unknown intersection between this blog's loves and hates, it's random Canada-bashing ... but in slideshow form.  But if you can stomach it, this HuffPo list of Fifty Worst Canadian Songs Ever is worth your time because #10 is Alanis Morissette's pre-Jagged "Too Hot," which as the description confirms is truly a lost Robin Sparkles masterpiece.  Also, "Sometimes When We Touch" is only in second place, because Nickelback.

    Same here, Roger. Also, that's not an especially bad Rush song.

    True story: When that Dan Hill song came on the radio a few months back while I was driving to work, I turned it up and started belting along. I even rolled down my windows so everybody around me could enjoy it too.


    Suck it, HuffPo.

    No Gordon Lightfoot? "As long verses go, it was longer than most . . ."


    The other criticism -- and this will be the only time I will ver say this -- French Canadian rap was underrepresented.


    The greatest Canadian song remains "Penalty Box," By Dave "The Hammer" Schultz.

    I didn't think much of the list to begin with. Then I looked at their "100 Greatest Canadian Songs" and it included Call Me Maybe. I'm done.
