Personally I think #79 is the best song on the list. Many props to April Wine. 
Nice to see Teenage Head and Parachute Club make the list, I sure wish I could find PC's best album on CD but it was never released in digital format.
My list would be different for sure, but it does have many of the essentials on it.

It is a pretty good list...where's "Just Between You & Me" ???
ComfortablyNumb
Unquestionable Presence
Peresonally I find The Weight and Night They Drove Old Dixie down to be the best Canadian songs then Neil Young would come after them with some of the songs he has written.
This just makes my hate for lists stronger.
