Q-104's doing a countdown on ECMA weekend and counting down the East Coast Top 104. Check in and vote and we'll see where Sloan end up.

Here are the 400 songs to choose from and 10 variables to add your choices that aren't there.

PS: If anyone has an .mp3 of Love Don't Wait by Basic English, please share. smile.gif

Holy crap, this is hard! ohmy.gif I was all "OK, I'll just pick all the Sloan ones and add the rest at the end," but there's like, twenty Sloan songs laugh.gif And like, Plaskett and the Flashing Lights and Eric's Trip ... gah.

This is going to take some thought.

I find it amusing that INXS are included on this list because of that new wanker lead singer... laugh.gif

Did you read the whole blurb on the page? I think I only linked to the actual survey but there's a big long explanation about why they are included.

Voted most of the Sloan songs and a couple of The Trews songs of course they are from my town.

I haven't gone to the link yet, but they've included the Flashing Lights and Eric's Trip? Two bands who have NEVER been played on Q104 before?

Thrush Hermit - Pink is the Colour

wtf?

Sure it's an awesome riff and all, and I jam on it occasionally. However, I don't think this was ever made into a single. "French Inhale" was a single, and "Hated It" was on the soundtrack to Mallrats, wasn't it?

No, I didn't see that -- I'll have to check it out later. smile.gif

The people at Q104 wouldn't know that.

What format is this station anyway? I can't imagine most of this getting played anywhere with the exception of Eastern Canada college radio. Still it's nice to see Jale as a selection. wub.gif

In these types of surveys they put tons of stuff on they wouldn't play, like Jale and Thrush Hermit, etc. The only Sloan songs they play are WTYTLLT, TOM, IIFGDI, MCM and LC. That's pretty much it. Trust me. Q-104 is NOT cool enough to play all of the stuff they listed on that survey.

That's right, ladies and germs: "Cocaine Cowgirl" is the greatest Maritimes rock song of all time...

Only slightly ahead of "Liquor & Whores", too!

I know...this is sorta sad..maybe if it was "City of Lakes" that would have made some sense but the INXS thing is driving me nuts also.

Have to give props to my fave PEI boys in there...as in "Bad Bad Boys"

These things drive me nutty in general...

Kind of interesting that the highest-ranked Sloan tune on that list is "The Other Man."

And "Pretty Vegas" makes it to #6? action-smiley-034.gif

Knowing Q104 (it's on every day at work), I'm sure that the people who made this survey tried their best to find some kind of connection between Nickleback and the Maritimes so that they could be included. Luckily, they were unsuccessful.
