49 Songs for Obama's playlist

Nicole said Jan 5, 7:43 PM:
 

In light of our recent threads about music, nationalism etc, I was highly amused that our national public radio station kicked off a campaign today to get Canadians across the map choosing songs for Obama's playlist :)

No, this is not a joke, see here: http://www.cbc.ca/radio2/obamasplaylist/

I haven't sent in my picks yet, but here's a bit from the CBC blog in the meantime.

49 Songs from North of the 49th Parallel

Canadians choose 49 songs from North of the 49th parallel that defines Canada to the new President.

Beginning Monday, January 5, CBC Radio 2 invites Canadians to help select the top “49 songs from north of the 49th parallel” that would best define our country to the incoming U.S. President Barack Obama.

His playlist could definitely benefit from some Canadian content, especially given the depth of our musical offerings – spanning a wide variety of genres and representing our culture from coast to coast.

“One of the best way to know Canada is through the depth and breadth of our artistic expression,” says Denise Donlon, Executive Director, CBC Radio. “We're excited about the new President and we want him to be excited about us, so we're asking our audience to help compile the list of our most definitive Canadian songs!”

A total of 49 songs will be determined.
So, what Canadian music do you think are the most definitive 49 songs from North of the 49th parallel?
