Canada: Rush - Tom Sawyer.

It was actually a bigger hit in the US.

Huh. TIL.

It's still an absolute gem. I love it.

I would say for Canada: The Tragically Hip - New Orleans is Sinking. They have a bunch of well known songs in Canada, but some of them are not quite 30 years old yet.

You know, literally minutes after I posted I thought to myself "maybe I should change it to the hip" but decided against it because hey, it's Rush. But I agree, your choice is a good one.
