MOCM TOP 100 CDN ALBUMS

This room features the top 100 Canadian albums of all time as compiled by Robert Williston.

By the end of the year we will have the top 100 Canadian albums complete and sorted. I will try to select at least 1 or 2 from each year, starting with the first Canadian LP, which was released in 1949. I will also hit as many genres as possible. Please email me with your lists/ any thoughts at ryder@robertwilliston.com

Contributing factors for placement:
1. cultural significance;
2. recognized and proven amongst the music record collector community;
3. page hits to this website;
4. stands the test of time

Non-contributing factors for placement:
1. widespread (commercial) appreciation

Let's start pre-Juno's, in the heyday of Canadian music (note that there has hardly been a better year for Cdn albums than 1970).
currently under consideration:

1967: Leonard Cohen - Songs of Leonard Cohen
1968: Mother Tuckers Yellow Duck - Home Grown Stuff
1968: Mutual Understanding - In Wonderland
1969: The Band - The Brown Album
1970: Christmas - Heritage
1970: Guess Who - American Woman
1970: Judy Singh - A Time For Love
1970: Reign Ghost - Reighn Ghost Featuring Lynda Squires
1971: Joni Mitchell - Blue
