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.

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. Last edited by rockzilla; 11-29-2003 at 04:35 PM.. |

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...)

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!

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. |
