Here is a list of people that I wish I, an older millennial, should have appreciated more when they were actually active performers:
Celine Dion
Nickelback
Tragically Hip
Janet Jackson
I remember being at SARSfest (yes, that was a thing) and someone joked to say that Celine Dion would be making a surprise appearance and the crowd of 500,000 people booed. I always wondered if she actually was backstage and was like “Forget this I’m leaving” because the crowd had already thrown bottles of pee at Justin Timberlake.
It wasn’t until the Deadpool 2 soundtrack did I realize that Celine Dion is not just an amazing singer but she’s hilarious.
I also remember really not liking the Tragically Hip because I only knew the release that came out when I was in grade 8, “Music At Work”. That is… not a great song, but it means I missed out on enjoying songs like Bobcaygeon and Ahead by a Century until I was an adult.
