List: Top 10 Canadian Albums of all time

Date: October 2007

Source: 'The Top 100 Canadian Albums' a book by Bob Mersereau.

Base: To create a top 100, Mersereau polled nearly 600 music journalists, retailers, musicians and DJs - of all ages - from across Canada. The list is based on a tally of their top ten selections.

Notes: "One of the things we tried to avoid was a music-geek book... I wanted to be sure that it reflected popularity, it is pop music, after all. I wanted as many people as possible; I wanted all corners to be heard. There is a lot to be said for popularity but I didn't want the book to be primarily about popularity." - Bob Mersereau
