Can't wait for your favorite canadian singer thread.
(you know you don't win no prize, right?)

Anyway.... as said in the other thread...

1) René Lussier - Le trésor de la langue

After that... (in no order)

Péloquin & Sauvageau - Laissez-nous vous embrasser où vous avez mal (lots of amazing stuff on this, but if you're from Québec, you need to listen to Mama Vagina)
Klaatu - 3:47 Est
Jean Derome - Je me souviens
L'infonie - Vol. 333 (Vol. 3333 is great too)
Le Quatuor du jazz libre - 1973
Tim Hecker - Harmony in Ultraviolet
Plume Latraverse - Pomme de route
Leonard Cohen - New Skin for the Old Ceremony
Conventum - À l'affut d'un complot
Michael Snow - Snow Solo Piano Solo Snow: 3 Phases (that's actually 3 albums)
Bran Van 3000 - Glee (I know I should have went for a Leloup album first, but Spring will do it for me)
Morceaux de Machine - Liberum arbitrium
Marshall McLuhan - The Medium is the Message
Keith Kouna - Bonsoir Shérif

And thanks to this thread, I just realized that one of my favorite albums of this year is from a fellow Montrealer...

Colin Stetson - The Love It Took to Leave You
(and what an amazing title too!)

That's enough, but so many others too...
