I have to agree with you on that Voodoo, Sloan and Trooper should be on the list..

Reasonable. There are a few weird ones in there.
Not sure if they go by popularity or what.
I honestly hate Best Of lists.
Music is very subjective.

Billy Squire is from Boston. His first band, Piper, was awesome. If he wasn’t dating a DJ at WBCN, he may have never received any airplay.

Any list that has Nickleback over Mahogany Rush can’t be very credible.Gretzsky!!
Also, Gretzky isn’t as great as Bobby Orr.

I hope you Canadians have a good sense of humor about my post. I remember back in the '80s and '90s he was the first word out of any Canadian. I was in Toronto on a job in the '90s and he was on billboards and pictures EVERYWHERE. He RULED the city!! We even ate at ......Gretzsky's!!This guy on my Hockey Card List..

I must say, both were extremely talented Canadian hockey players..
Both changed the game. Both played at a level we have never seen before. Both accomplished statistically and artistically what no one had been able to do before or since.

Marty McSorley doesn't get the credit he deserves, because with out him Gretsky would never have been able to pull the numbers that he did. Even when Gretsky got traded to L.A., McSorley was part of the package deal. On the other hand, when Orr was tested a couple of times as a rookie to see if he could fight, he surprised the other players by proving he could fight as good as he could play hockey. He was a good enough fighter that he was never challenged again.
