Here is the 3 best canadian classic rock songs of all time? Here is my list.

I suggest that the top 3 are:

· American Woman

It is so quintessentially Canadian, given the way that we live next door to an elephant, that my first pick is be about an American woman. Released in January of 1970, the song, "American Woman" made its way to the top of the Billboard 100 by March. The Guard Who was performed and released the song, written by two of its members, Burton Cummings and Jim Hale, on the album of the same name, and as a single. The song created quite a stir in the United States The band was anything, but political, as a perusal of their extensive They are lovers and not fighters.

· Takin & # 39; Care of Business

Bachman Turner Overdrive in 1973 and was written by band leader Randy Bachman, formerly of The Guess Who. Bachman Turner Overdrive was never linked to this song and its signature riff with echoes of the George Harrison riff in The Beatles song Paperback According to Randy Bachman, it was the most licensed song in Sony Music & # 39; s publishing catalog. Randy is recognized as one of Canada & # 39; s premiere guitar players and many of the BTO releases are empowered by Bachman & # 39; s superior guitar skills.

· Needle and the Damage Done

The imagery of the damage done by the needle and the idea that "every junkie" like a setting sun "caught the folk -rock world by surprise. The song was written about one of the members of Neil 's band Crazy Horse who was an addict. Neil released Danny Whitten from the band because of his heroin addiction and Danny died of an overdose shortly after. His songs and albums are legendary in the genre of Classic Rock. Neil went on to play in some legendary bands including Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
