Some of the best contemporary music is coming out of Canada at the moment -

The New Pornographers
Broken Social Scene
Destroyer (also in TNP)
Neko Case (also in TNP)
Spoon
Final Fantasy (Owen Pollett, Arcade Fire collaborater)

Love The New Pornographers, but I was disappointed by Broken Social Scene's album.

This one's a bit unfair as it's a RUSH forum! doh.gif

 

After Rush, I would vote for Joni Mitchell, followed closely behind by Neil Young. No one else on the list really interests me.

 

There was a great Candian band called The Paupers that made two albums in 1967/1968.

You're gonna get some seriously pissed-off people since you didn't mention The Tragically Hip. tongue.gif

What he said tongue.gif

 

 

 

I heart.gif the Hip

 

(Other then Rush) They are the greatest band in Canada.

Unfortunately... they have yet to 'break' into the states.

 

 

Now... if you would excuse me.. I'm going to listen to 'In Violet Light' and 'World Container'.

Highly recommend them both... well... WC sounds a little too over produced, very UN-Hip like.

But.. I still love it.

You should have left Rush off...you know they're going to get 100%.

Out of the rest of yours, all of them suck except Neil Young and Joni Mitchell. And I would have voted for Arcade Fire, if they were on there.

I voted Neil Young, assuming that RUSH was on as a joke. I mean, seriously...what forum is this?

The Tragically Hip, for sure (after Rush, who really shouldn't be in this poll IMO).

I love Canadian rock.

I too love Canadian Rock but in order to be an export you must have a fan base of more than 6 outside of your home country. This theory therefore would eliminate The Tragically Hip. yes.gif

 

 

Wake up fellow Canadians...They're not a world class band...i repeat not a world class band no.gif

 

 

 

And who voted for the Bare Naked Ladies wacko.gif

I have not heard Tragically Hip and I did forget Nickelback, my fault! Triumph is also a great band yet critics called them "the poor man's Rush". Like Rush were from Toronto and were a power trio. Unlike Rush, Triumph were straight ahead hard rock with two lead singers.

 

My faves were:

1)Rush

2)Triumph

3)Neil Young

4)Joni Mitchell

5)Loverboy

 

The fat dude in Barenaked Ladies (Steven Page) sounds like a drunk Jack Bruce when he sings, I just keep thinking where is there an Eric Clapton type guitarist or Ginger Baker type drummer.
