It's a short list so glaring exceptions are the rule rather than the exception. Personally, I like it for its wonkiness. No, it's not a great representation, but what is? Everyone could do a better list, but everyone's list would be different. At least this list has some unusual choices. The Maestro thing is a little off but, for better or worse, it was a huge hit. I just get a kick out of seeing him and Glenn Gould side by side, a strange contrast for a nation of strange contrasts.

What's with the obsession with Canadians' supposed pronunciation of "about" anyway? Do these Americans only ever listen to people from Cape Breton or something?
But yeah, weird list.
