A ranking of Polaris Music Prize winning albums from 2006 through the September 2026 winner, judged on how well each record holds up now, its influence, and whether it rewards a full front-to-back listen. Fourteen of the twenty winners are ranked; Buffy Sainte-Marie's 2015 win was rescinded by Polaris in 2025 and is not included. For listeners who want a Canadian album canon from the past two decades.
