Apart from Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Brian Adams there's Three Days Grace and Simple Plan, two excellent bands who've scored well in the US. Canada has a lot of great bands who don't get noticed because it's such a huge country with such a small population.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Forgot Three Days Grace..... great band... Simple Plan not bad either

[Trufflehound]

arcade fire
neil young
leonard cohen

... is the correct answer

Is some of the correct answer if you add Godspeed You! Black Emperor

And Holy f***, whom I'm slightly surprised have not been mentioned yet.

And I guess you should add Joni Mitchell to that list, although she doesn't really float my personal boat...

 

[Curious Orange]

Three pages and no mention of Wintersleep!!

... until now

Tragically Hip

The ultimate Canadian band, in so far as *everyone* in Canada under 25 in the 1990s knows who they are, whereas literally nobody else had ever heard of them. Decent band, IMO.

Personally, I couldn't look beyond Arcade Fire and the legendary Neil Young in the finest Canadian music stakes.

 

[SittingbourneSeagull]

Rush who I can't wait to see again in May

Sammy Hagar superb live performer

and the much underated Max Webster

I've never really got 'the Hip'. To me they are indeed the ultimate 'Canadian' band, in that they are solid, reliable, honest, hard-working... and slightly dull.

Fair comment I suppose. As I say, I thought they were decent enough. Probably the Canadian equivalent of the Wonderstuff, not so much in what they sound like but to whom they appealed.

The Lumberjack Song

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Surprised no one's mentioned the Crash Test Dummies...

Spookily Ken Bruce has just played "Spirit of Radio" after the 11:00 news on Radio 2 - a great song for air drumming.

Is Ken a closet NSC'er maybe?
