Spinner Canada - College rankings of rock: Top 20 universities rated for their musical alumni

Published: 15 September 2010

"It's college rankings time, so we at Spinner evaluated universities near and far, ordering them according to their matriculation of musicians. Bands like the Commodores (Tuskegee University), Talking Heads (Rhode Island School of Design), Pink Floyd (University of Westminster) and Hall and Oates (Temple University) met while pursuing higher education. So even if you're not into that whole cracking the books thing, college can at least be a good place to find a drummer who keeps time."

McGill rocks in at 11th position with Arcade Fire alums Win Butler and Regine Chassagne, Leonard Cohen, Burt Bacharach, Chuck Comeau of Simple Plan.
