Celebrate Canada Day With This Ginormous, Nickelback-Free Playlist!

-
Alright, I'mma shoot straight with you; this playlist took way too long to create and I'm not going to explain why anything is or isn't there. Suffice to say you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll feel national pride (assuming you're Canadian like me).

It's really simple; 146 songs for 146 years. Starting from 1980 so as to avoid Steppenwolf and BTO. Because no reason at all that's why.

Enjoy!

", where I gave a percentage chance for certain artists releasing a new album in 2013: 1% NINE INCH NAILS We know that Trent Reznor is gearing up to release How To Destroy Angels' debut. We also know that there's an Interscope-released Nine Inch Nails greatest hits collection being targeted for 2014, for which Reznor promises two new Nine Inch Nails songs. But, we also know Reznor likes to fuck with his fans and absolutely loved fucking with Interscope. What better way to do that than to bring out a brand new Nine Inch Nails record? What better way indeed? Surprise: A new #NIN album is finished, coming later this year on @ columbiarecords : tmblr.co/ZW-7vsm2kw_u #NIN2013 — Nine Inch Nails (@nineinchnails) May 28, 2013 Bravo, Mr. Reznor. I love it when a plan comes together. More on...
