19. "Whale Music," Rheostatics (Sire, 1992)
20. "Acadie," Daniel Lanois (Opal, 1989)

With the exception of Arcade Fire, things don't look so good for music made in the past decade or so.

And, hey, where's Platinum Blonde? And no Honeymoon Suite?

Seriously, though, Gordon Lightfoot doesn't crack our top 20? Given the 1970s-heavy group, that's a bit of shocker.
