I guess I’m the only person here who just got his entire music collection called out.
At least I get to keep Danko Jones and Buck 65. They must still be cool.
6 0 ReplyAm I the only one here who's too old to recognize anything on that list? 😅
7 1 ReplyI'm 52, and I like 3 of them, and know of 4 others.
1 0 ReplyI'm in my mid-40s and half of that list is in heavy rotation on my Spotify playlists lol. Metric was one of my top most listened to bands last year

2 0 ReplyYou Forget it in People and their self titled album are pretty great, especially the former. You might know them for having Feist and the singer of Metric as singers, or as Crash and the Boys from Scott Pilgrim (The music, not the actors).

Hahaha, I’ve never heard of any of these bands, I guess I should feel old.
4 1 ReplyYou should feel utterly disinterested in Canadian indie music. Even Americans know half those names!
3 1 ReplyI think ive heard of Sloan and Arcade Fire, but I wouldn't even be able to name any of their songs or even what genre they do.
