They're probably my favourite new band of '08 ... will have a list up next week... Well, I guess I still like Kanye, so that makes me more tolerant than most….

I think that's why I stuck with Forest Fire--they had time to grow on me and build an admiration for the album. As for The RAA--brilliant. How could they not be on the list?

Surprised that there’s no love for Fleet Foxes… they overdone you think?

I probably didn't give it a fair chance but it never really caught my interest. I'll go back and give it a chance on your recommendation. As for the Regina reference, Hero--I didn't intend it to tie directly to the band name, but rather that if Arcade Fore had come from the prairies, they'd sound like The RAA. Make sense? Maybe not, it was a late night working on that post. I just never took to the Beach House album, Boris. I probably didn’t give it a fair chance but it never really caught my interest.

Great to see some strong Canadian content making the cut; especially an artist like Rae Spoon. Rae and Justin narrowly missed making the list for me. Maybe I'm missing an obvious joke, but Regina isn't in Alberta, so I don't exactly know what sounding like The Arcade Fire were from Regina means? Nice list.
