@CraigBaird We all love Great Big Sea, but this one shouldn't really be close. A lot of folks either don't know or don't remember how MASSIVE of a song 'Clumsy' was in 1997 and 1998. OLP was cranking out banger after banger through the late 90s.
@CraigBaird OLP done in once again by the randomness of it all. Toughest choice yet.

@CraigBaird Have we had any or many Blue Rodeo tunes nominated? I don’t believe I have seen one on the month or two..
@CraigBaird You are beginning to make this very hard. VERY.
