floydfanatic111 Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 QUOTE (goose @ Jan 23 2007, 07:00 PM) QUOTE (PuppetKing2112 @ Jan 23 2007, 06:24 PM) 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? There was the Best British band, best American band so why not BEST CANADIAN ACT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisibleairwaves Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 QUOTE (spirit of radio @ Jan 23 2007, 10:03 PM) QUOTE (invisibleairwaves @ Jan 23 2007, 08:21 PM)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. Wake up fellow Canadians...They're not a world class band...i repeat not a world class band And who voted for the Bare Naked Ladies They do have a fairly significant US fanbase. They're touring the US soon as The Who's opening act. And they're certainly world-class quality, even if they don't have world-class success.

invisibleairwaves Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Yeah...Chilliwack should be on there too...I don't think this should even be a poll. There's way too many awesome Canadian bands for one person to remember them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnalschick Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Anyone here heard of a band called Big Wreck? I own one of their cd's, and they have some pretty good tunes goin' on. Pretty much straight up rock, with unique guitar parts and good vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
