Boombastic style from T.O.’s hip-hop pioneers.
2. 7/4 Shoreline, Broken Social Scene
Kevin Drew and Feist, near perfect together on this road-trip tune.
3. Echo Beach, Martha & the Muffins
Classic summer road trip tune blared by many a car stereo headed to Muskoka.

One of the liveliest bands this city has produced, featuring Kate Fenner and Dave Wall.
5. Crabbuckit, k-os
Infectious beats, bright and beautiful like a dose of musical sunshine.

A song about a bead of sweat dripping slowly down sun-drenched skin … and whatnot.
7. Reservoir, PUP
This killer party tune and video propelled the Toronto band to huge heights.
8. Up on Cripple Creek, The Band
Sure they’re a T.O. band, and this song is a porch pleaser from way back.
9. Wheat Kings, The Tragically Hip
Well, it starts with a loon call and it’s the Hip, so ’nuff said.
10. Saturday Night, The Wooden Sky
Yeah, it’s that good.
