Best Candian band?

I have alot of favourites when it comes to Canada and music. I know I'm always pulling for The Hip and Barenaked Ladies. What about you? Which bands in Canada turn your crank?

The Hip are the best band in Canada in my opinion.

Neil Young, The Tea Party, Big Sugar (no split), The Watchmen (also split) are all great as well. I'm sure I'm forgeting a few.

I loved the Headstones, before they broke up last year

You can't have a great CDN band list without: RUSH

damn.. forgot about blue rodeo.

Rush are alright. Never really got into em' though. And the Headstones were a great band as well.

Nickleback and Default though get the thumbs down from me. Sorry Averett, but it's true.

An up and comer for this thread could be The Spades. They sound pretty rockin from what I've heard. I think thier cd comes out soon.

Oh and I forgot all about Sam Roberts. Definitly has to be included here.

I'm gonna have to chime in with the Hip as well, they are the quintessential Canadian band. Barenaked Ladies come close in second though.

And no one likes Shania Twain? @@

The Hip in the same plane as Nicklefault?!? You obviously just don't get it. How can you lump the Hip in with these others? Obviously Gord and the boys have more class than to fly around with trash like Kroger, it could never happen.

What no Anne Murray or Alanis? Naw I gotta go with the Hip. Utronki Road is pretty good.

The Barenaked Ladies annoy me, the Headstones Hugh Dillon is the Canadian version of Scott Weiland in rehab, out, back in again....., Sam Roberts, I played hockey with the drummer and went to school with guitar player, hate the band they are so bad and Sam Roberts needs to wash sometimes he looks like a homeless person.

I really like Broken Social Scene and Metric, glad to see someone else supporting real indy music.

Has anyone ever heard of Nathan Wiley, from PEI?

I second that.

I also add a vote for BNL. I'm going to see them in two weeks with Alanis Morrisette.

I'll add to the list, Triumph, April Wine and Loverboy (I'm old, shut up )

Yeah and Trooper, Prism,Chiliwack and the Five Man Electrical Band.

And just to get under some of your skins, the only act worse than the Hip is Ryan Malcolm, the Canadian Idol. Baaaaaaaaahhhh.. I think I'm the only person in the world (Canada) to walk out on those hacks when they played under an assumed name at A.J's Hangar in Kingston. Just fucking dreadful. I'm done now.

It's not like there aren't good canadian bands in those genres, I was simply stating about the groups which have been listed here, besides the ones I already said I didn't mind in my earlier post

Saw Danko Jones in a small club and they blew the roof of the place. Solid band.

Forgot Max Webster too.

The intro to one of his two songs that is played endlessly on the radio (don't know the title) sounds exactly like the intro to Led Zeppelins "Jennings Farm Blues."
