― D'Brickasquad (fennel cartwright), Wednesday, 26 October 2011 17:25 (fourteen years ago)

Maestro over Dream Warriors? Really? Hm.

― EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 26 October 2011 19:08 (fourteen years ago)

WTF is this Tom Green over K'naan bullshit

― Sean Carruthers, Wednesday, 26 October 2011 19:15 (fourteen years ago)

We can poll these guys from this list, then add in everyone else in a follow-up when it's the dead of winter.

― your way better (Eazy), Wednesday, 26 October 2011 23:25 (fourteen years ago)

got a soft spot for k-os

― Manitobiloba (Kim), Thursday, 27 October 2011 17:12 (fourteen years ago)

Dream Warriors are goofy and dated as all get out, but I still kinda love 'em.

Never heard of Swollen Members, what a horrible name.

No Pipi Skid, no credibility. This song is phenomenal:

― kornrulez6969, Thursday, 27 October 2011 18:51 (fourteen years ago)

OK yeah, that Swollen Members track *is* pretty great.

― Blue Doggie Sweater (Dan Peterson), Thursday, 27 October 2011 18:52 (fourteen years ago)

Hah, a bit surreal to see Pipi show up here - knew him back in the day when he was selling Farm Fresh cassettes at my old record store in Brandon. If we're gonna throw him into this mix when we should include his colleague Mcenroe here too:

― Sean Carruthers, Thursday, 27 October 2011 22:17 (fourteen years ago)

yeah, McEnroe & Birdapres are wonderful. voting Buck, just about my fave rapper period

― epigram addict (outdoor_miner), Friday, 28 October 2011 00:07 (fourteen years ago)

The bachelor of science, I run my own company

― Melle Mel and the Coconuts (thewufs), Friday, 28 October 2011 00:58 (fourteen years ago)

two weeks pass...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― System, Monday, 14 November 2011 00:01 (fourteen years ago)

My youth belonged to Maestro, Rascalz and Dream warriors, but I'm most likely to listen to Kardy nowadays, so I will vote for him.

― irrational, Monday, 14 November 2011 01:13 (fourteen years ago)

i wonder why rolex pimpatron stopped posting here

― some dude, Monday, 14 November 2011 01:18 (fourteen years ago)

also missing but would likely go unvoted for would be the Sweatshop Union and Kyprios who made a little noise awhile back. Kyprios seems to be moderately big now for writing a song about the Canucks' Stanley Cup run.

― irrational, Monday, 14 November 2011 03:35 (fourteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

― System, Tuesday, 15 November 2011 00:01 (fourteen years ago)

Rich Terfry (Buck 65) does a drive-time radio show every weekday afternoon here: http://www.cbc.ca/radio2/. A lot of Canadian stuff, obviously. Once a show, he plays Neil Young.

― clemenza, Tuesday, 15 November 2011 00:17 (fourteen years ago)

Ha, I was just going to post about how angry his show makes me. I don't think I can even listen to his music anymore.

Seriously, there is no reason why Radio 2 needs to play the Police and Coldplay.

― EveningStar (Sund4r), Tuesday, 15 November 2011 00:50 (fourteen years ago)

I just started listening occasionally about a year ago--it was a few months before I made the connection as to who he is. I like some of the older stuff he mixes in, but the two examples you cite, no, I don't need to hear them.

― clemenza, Tuesday, 15 November 2011 00:59 (fourteen years ago)

Also, whoever was filling in for him today said that Ian Curtis "hung" himself, which made me yell out loud in the car. If you're taking our tax money, learn to conjugate a fucking verb, for real.

― EveningStar (Sund4r), Tuesday, 15 November 2011 01:01 (fourteen years ago)

You could argue that this is not actually Rich Terfry's fault but I choose to hold him responsible.

― EveningStar (Sund4r), Tuesday, 15 November 2011 01:01 (fourteen years ago)

hung is fine, u madman

― zvookster, Tuesday, 15 November 2011 02:42 (fourteen years ago)

― zvookster, Tuesday, 15 November 2011 02:43 (fourteen years ago)

Huh.

― EveningStar (Sund4r), Tuesday, 15 November 2011 04:40 (fourteen years ago)

OED, fwiw:

b. now, spec. to put to death by suspension by the neck.
In this sense, hanged is now the specific form of the pa. tense and pa. pple.; though hung is used by some, esp. in the south of England.

― EveningStar (Sund4r), Tuesday, 15 November 2011 04:42 (fourteen years ago)

Having quoted that, the "south of England" includes like the Queen, right?

― EveningStar (Sund4r), Tuesday, 15 November 2011 04:54 (fourteen years ago)

Are you arguing with yourself?

― bamcquern, Tuesday, 15 November 2011 05:42 (fourteen years ago)

Yes.

― EveningStar (Sund4r), Tuesday, 15 November 2011 12:15 (fourteen years ago)

I'm just disappointed this poll didn't include Ricky J

― MarkoP, Tuesday, 15 November 2011 14:54 (fourteen years ago)

To really bring my contributions to this thread to A+ level, this is where I'll concede that everything else on Regina radio can actually make Terfry's show seem pretty good. Also, I apparently listen to it every day.
