This week, I’m joined by Jason Whissell of It’s Not That Bad and There Can Only Be One, for a wide-ranging conversation about Canadian music in the ’90s.

Together, we explore 20 songs that defined the decade in Canada, focusing on the rock-driven tracks that dominated the charts while also touching on pop, alternative, hip-hop, country and singer-songwriter moments that made the era so diverse. We dive into the stories, cultural impact, and artistic achievements behind each track, sharing personal memories and highlighting why these artists continue to resonate today.

From iconic hits to overlooked classics, our discussion captures the energy, creativity, and influence of the Great White North’s music scene in the 1990s, showing how Canadian artists shaped the sound of the decade.
