The Barenaked Ladies, straight out of Canada, hit the American music scene in 1993 with their album, Gordon. Hits included "If I had a Million Dollars" and "One Week". Any teenager in the 1990's currently has these hits on their IPod. This group has a great combination of humor and talent. This is what makes this stand out among others in their music genre. Although their first album went platinum in Canada, they were forbidden from playing at an event near City Hall in Toronto because the mayor found the band's name to be degrading and discriminatory towards women. This is very evident that this was not the intention of the band. They simply meant for the name to be random and humorous. They are a great group of guys who write songs that can lift your spirits at any time of the day in any mood.
