The Detroit Free Press is running a series of articles about the best 100 songs from Detroit artists. The voting is over, but the ballot (http://www.freep.com/pages/interactives/detroit-greatest-songs/complete-list/) is still available. I'm curious which ones the Languideshians would pick as the 10 best from the list. My choices (in no particular order):
Chain of Fools - Aretha Franklin
Fever - Little Willie John
One Nation Under a Groove - Funkadelic
No Fun - The Stooges
Elected - Alice Cooper
Without Me - Eminem
Where Did Our Love Go? - The Supremes
Money - Barrett Strong
Inner City Blues - Marvin Gaye
Get Ready - The Temptations
So many great choices in there, I feel bad about having to leave off The White Stripes, Jackie Wilson and John Lee Hooker just to make it to ten.
Well you have an abundance to choose from at least.
I tried to think of any Edmonton-based artists, and couldn't. I hit up google, and the only name anyone might recognize would be kd lang.
Even Winnipeg does better than that, being able to claim Neil Young, The Guess Who/BTO, and Crash Test Dummies.
Aeretha? :angry:

Sounds like the name of a generic fantasy continent or world.

Don't let me be the one to stop you from putting together your own list.
