The CBC had a number of millennium polls and one of them was a music poll. "Which Canadian Singer, musician or group do you believe is the best of the past 100 years?" You know who the winnner was (drum roll please) Gordon Lightfoot!! Here are the top three: 1. Gordon Lightfoot 21% (9,586 votes) 2. Celine Dion 20% (9,131 votes) 3. Tragically Hip 13% (5,893 votes). That's a nice way to start the new year isn't it?
