She makes me weep openly. |

My personal favorite is the Tragically Hip, who are tragically way less well known outside of Canada. Download one of their songs like New Orleans is Sinking or Nautical Disaster to find out how kickass they are. Also love the Barenaked Ladies. |
God Speed You Black Emperor!
The New Pornographers different sounds, but all good stuff |
Couldn't believe it took about half the page for someone to mention the Barenaked Ladies... :(
OLP and Matthew Good Band are great too. |
East coast is alive and well too.
|
it's all about, Andrew W.K

Not quite Canadian. Don't get me wrong though, he rocks like nobody else. And like Breid said don't forget the East Coast. Buck 65 is one of the most intelligent and creative hip hop musicians I've ever heard. |
Matthew Good all the way. Not really into his latest album but it's still worth listening to. It's cool because he's a local guy and you can see him in downtown Vancouver quite often :)
OLP Rush The Tragically are also my fav's. |
I fully endorse Godspeed You! Black Emperor, The Barenaked Ladies, Gordon Lightfoot, Big Wreck (awesome live shows) and Kid Koala (the best scratch DJ I have EVER heard).
I woudl also like to mention: - Parkside Jones - Ark of Infinity - Do Make Say Think - Leonard Cohen (I can't believe noone mentioned him so far...) |
ole sammy roberts played at our university this year, he is simply amazing
Plus, you cant beat bryan adams! |
nickle back is canadian... arent they (they suck tho)
|
big time
|
No one mentioned Thrush Hermit, or The Weakerthans! Those two bands are excellent, i would greatly recommend checking them out. Oh and also The Flashing Lights, Sarah Slean, and Hawksley Workman!
|
BNL
Tragically Hip Rush and probably a bunch I'm forgetting |
I love the Tragically Hip, and my abosolute favorite band to see live is Barenaked Ladies.
|
I'd have to say the best band with energy and good musicians to come out of Canada in the last 10 years is Danko Jones.

The Tragically Hip and Neil Young would be my favourites from Canada. The Tea Party are also a great band.
Other notables are The Watchmen, The Headstones and Big Sugar. All of these bands are now broken up unfortunately. Well The Watchmen are currently on their last tour. |
Just a little note for anyone wanting to hear more Canadian music tune into CKUA radio.
streaming from www.ckua.com Click "Live On Air" They play more than Canadian, but you will hear a fair amount there. |
I want to second Buck 65 and The Weakerthans. Can't believe it took a page and a half for their names to come up.

Canada Rocks...
