1990: Year of the Oka Crisis

Here's the drill: five days, fifteen Canadian songs from 1990. Part one, part two, here's part three.

Type rest of the post here
Blue Rodeo- "Til I Am Myself Again" (from Casino)


Blue Rodeo went 4x platinum with their debut, 3x platinum with Diamond Mine, and "only" 2x platinum with 1990's Casino. One of their weaker albums, yes, but for a group of this calibre it doesn't mean much. This track is rightfully a greatest hit.

Kon Kan- "Puss n Boots" (from Move to Move)

Kon Kan was a snythpop duo back before there was anything ironic/hipster about it. Oh, and they were doing crazy mainstream mashups (Led Zeppelin, Nancy Sinatra) years before Girl Talk. One is now a semi-pro golfer, the other is in Thunderpuss. The name, by the way, is a take-off on "Canadian content," which is what insired the name of this blog. Keen!



Celine Dion- Where Does My Heart Beat Now? (from Unison)


A young francophone singer learns English, enlists soft rock/adult contemporary producers, and repeats dozens of times over the next nineteen years. It started here, folks!
