In The Rock 8/5/1995: Murphy, Ferguson, Pentland and Scott, better known to CanRock fans as Sloan, headline Edgefest in Toronto. It was billed as the band’s farewell performance, thank gods it wasn’t. #Sloan #RockHonorRoll #CanRock #CanadianContent

I put together a playlist of some harder to find Sloan songs! I guess this is mainly for people who didn’t/couldn’t get the older songs when they first came out, or don’t have the deluxe box sets. So there are some songs from the Peppermint EP, for example
I could write an essay on how much I love Rag Doll, also Teachers in the Bleachers is so unique and different from anything that ended up on OCTA!

Geddy Lee (Born July 29th, 1953)
Often respected as one of the greatest Canadian bands of all time, Rush has released 20 studio albums and toured the world during their incredible 40 year long career. Much of their success is owed to Geddy Lee, Rush’s singer, keyboardist, and bassist. His stellar, melodic basslines and unique singing voice make Rush stand out in the world of rock music.

Summer_Knowledge RYM 2023 Wrapped
Hey everybody welcome to my 2023 rateyourmusic wrapped.
I listened to 137 albums this year. This is 13 less than last year but around 5 more than my average since 2019.
Decade stats:
1960s: 6
1970s: 9
1980s: 27
1990s: 63
2000s: 25
2010s: 5
2020s: 2
None of this really surprises me that much but I did think that the 2000s would have beat the 80s. 70s really fell off from last year.
Genre stats:
These stats are based off of rym primary genres. I listened to 65 genres total. That is almost 10 more than last year.
1. Indie rock (30)
2. Alternative rock (26)
3. Power pop (25)
4. Shoegaze (10)
5. Pop rock (9) and indie pop (9)
Not surprising whatsoever.
Most notable first-listens:
Okay I thought it would be fun to choose my favorite albums and favorite songs that I heard for the first time this year. But it’s not really favorites it’s just what I found to be the most notable and impactful I guess because if I was listing my favorites I would just look at my last.fm account. Also I limited to 1 per artist.
Albums:
1. Whale Music - Rheostatics
2. Whatever and Ever Amen - Ben Folds Five
3. The Walking - Jane Siberry
4. Sweet Homewrecker - Thrush Hermit
5. Operation Infinite Joy - Martin Tielli
I only picked five because while trying to pick albums I realized that the vast majority are not very impactful. Also four of these are Canadian.
Songs:
1. Palomar - Rheostatics
2. Behind This Wall - Turning Point
3. Stood Up - Matthew Grimson
4. The White Tent the Raft - Jane Siberry
5. Emaline - Ben Folds Five
6. Sally Ann’s (Style Denial) - Local Rabbits
7. Winnipeg - Martin Tielli
8. Darkness - The Police
9. North Dakota - Thrush Hermit
10. Being With You - that dog.
Nothing really of note here except there’s a lot of Rheostatics songs I could have chosen. Also 6/10 of these are Canadian.
Other notable things:
The Rheostatics obsession was reallyyy bad I scrobbled them almost 5,000 times since first listening in May. I can’t overemphasize that. Also I want to just mention the thing I had for heartland rock in May and also my brief obsession with 90s country pop hits that happened earlier this month. Also I was really obsessed with Leave this City by the Sundays but because I didn’t listen to it for the first time this year I couldn’t include it in my top 10 but if I could include it in my top 10 it would be like number 3. Also I reached 1k Blake Babies scrobbles.
My predictions:
So last year I predicted that I would listen to more shoegaze and I did!!! I also predicted that I would listen to more new wave and I listened to (1) new wave album this year so that did not happen. The surf phase that I tried manifesting also didn’t happen. Instead I had a weird Rheostatics phase, a subphase of the main canrock phase that has been dominating my life for a year and a half. I predicted I would listen to less albums overall which is true!!!!!! And that I would listen to more 80s albums which also happened.
My future predictions are that the Rheostatics phase will be strong for around another 6 months and then finally die out. After that I literally can’t imagine how the canrock phase will continue so I’m predicting that twait no I think that Sloan will tour Smeared in 2024 reviving my canrock phase and shifting its focus to noisier material. I also predict that I will develop a weird phase for something like cabaret or if it’s less weird than that like. Chamber pop. I predict that I will listen to slightly less albums overall. I predict that the 90s will continue to be my most popular decade.
Thank you everyone I would like to thank sonemic and last.fm and discord for these extraordinary stats. Happy new year

I know there were more but hell its over 25 years ago.
The 90s were truly a Renaissance of fucking great rock music come out of Canada and we don't talk about it enough. I mean, everybody and their sister pledges fucking Fealty to the Hip (💯 guilty on that front) but when was the last time anyone talked about Age of Electric or sang the praises of Wide Mouth Mason? Even if the lyrics haven't aged well, Odds' Heterosexual Man goes HARD.
