Moogy Blues: Ten Quintessential Moog Songs

It’s no secret that here at Paste, we love ourselves some moog. (Pronounced “mohwg,” not “moo-g.”) And why not?

I spent most of last week in Montreal, and I’ll soon be blogging about Schwartz’s, poutine, graffiti, an amazing beer bar and, most importantly, the M for Montreal festival. But before looking at the next great artists coming out of Canada, I’d like to give a run down of my Top 10 Canadian musical acts of all time (including bands made up primarily of Canadians).
