Y'know, if you cared and stuff.
You have some great stuff on there for sure! It would be interesting to see a list more underground stuff. Too many bands and songs that everyone's already heard of, but I saw your reasoning for your list so that makes sense. And if you're wondering, I'm way too lazy to make my own list. :pPlus there are too many songs that would be tied for the number 2 spot for me.

Thanks Travis. It still seems to me that they are fundamentally the same sport with some key differences. The Canadian version looks slightly better to me as it has an emphasis on attacking. Has there ever been a compromised rules match between American and Canadian national teams? This happens between Scotland and Ireland in the shinty/hurling sports which are super dangerous versions of field hockey. At one of my old universities there was also a compromised rules match between the Aussie Rules and Gaelic football teams.

The differences between American and Canadian football certainly don't seem to be as well defined as the differences between Rugby Union and Rugby League though.
 
Re: latitude of living. Equator is bizzare, perfect light/dark 12 hour split year round and hot (the season change being dry or wet). 8 PM hot and the Sun goes down, 7 AM hot but Sun is still not up.

They are well defined, they just aren't as meaningful as the differences between Union and League.
