In today's Star are a number of reader's comments including this pithy one:-
"Who gets to make these decisions anyway? Gordon Lightfoot is not even in the Top 20 listing! But Leonard Cohen is? He's not even a singer. Get the wax removed, folks. Lightfoot's 1970 album Sit Down Young Stranger is one of the best Canadian albums ever. Never mind the financially successful (above and below the border) 1973 Sundown. Let's recognize those Canadians that deserve to be recognized."
