OK... I've seen an Aussie music thread so I decided to start a Canadian on... eh?

Personally, I think the best Canadian band right now are I Mother Earth. Thier last two albums have been amazing.

Sam Roberts is also a great artist, I really think he has what it takes to make it huge.

Anyone else??

ShadowWraith · 08-22-2003, 08:17 PM

Lots of good canadian bands out there. Treble Charger (my favorite), Our Lady Peace, Three Days Grace, Gob, the list goes on...

sloan is good too....

IC3 · 08-23-2003, 05:57 AM

I am not a huge fan of Canadian Rappers...But they are ok.

Anyways, I Like Nelly Furtado...She has a pretty good sound.

Averett · 08-23-2003, 05:58 AM

I've been introduced to quite a few good Canadian bands from my friend in Alberta.

Treble Charger, I Mother Earth, (Default and Nickleback before they became populare here), Blue Rodeo... bunch more I cant think of off hand...

Yay Canada!

godspeed you black emperor and the tea party

Averett · 08-23-2003, 08:25 AM

Oh I forgot about the Tea Party!

auswegian · 08-23-2003, 08:36 AM

Darkest of the Hillside Thickets, you fools! Best band ever... Geekrock at its finest.

abormen · 08-23-2003, 01:53 PM

Gotta love Sloan.

Can't not like the local boys

phukraut · 08-23-2003, 04:33 PM

the hip!

KWSN · 08-23-2003, 07:44 PM

Godspeed You! Black Emperor are probably the best... really, I haven't heard a lot of REALLY REALLY REALLY good bands out of Canada but maybe I'm not listening hard enough... or maybe it's because anything really good from Canada couldn't make up for some of the artists that they've produced that are the absolute SCOURGE of the EARTH... Celine Dion, Alanis, Avril, Simple Plan... UGH.

Voivod and Sloan are pretty good though...

rideough · 08-24-2003, 06:57 AM

I was quite surprised too. Rush has been mentioned in a few threads here.

tinfoil · 08-28-2003, 06:53 AM

I used to play "One More Astronaut" from I Mother Earth's "Scenery and Fish" constantly in high school. I still listen to Matthew Good Band's first three albums, and occasionally Tangiers.

mrcraptastic · 09-02-2003, 09:38 PM

it would have to be the tragically hip, our lady peace, and the living end (just heard the other day that the living end is canadian

)

fartre · 09-03-2003, 07:18 PM

Nobody mentioned The Odds?? (r.i.p.)

I thought they were the most amazing band going, but they never got the repect they deserved. I remember driving to Regina (shhhhhhhudder...) to see them live and there were only about 500 people at the cabaret, and this was during the tour for there final album...what was super cool was that Stephen Drake remembered me from a couple of previous shows (i love accessible bands that you can talk to after the show) and we hung out for a half hour while they tore down...

every song was gold...

That's who I thought of when I read this thread. Great band.

Some more that I like:

Holly McNarland - Check her out if you don't recognize the name.
Crowbar
Bif Naked - Good stuff. More than a Gwen Stefani wannabe.
Kittie
Our Lady Peace - One of my favorites.
Barenaked Ladies
Finger Eleven (I Like the name Rainbow Butt Monkees better)

Other Canadian bands I can think of:

Econoline Crush
Ennis Sisters
Matthew Good Band
Gob
Sum 41 - Canadian right?
Can't forget the Crash Test Dummies
Kid Koala
Len Loverboy
Bryan Adams
Serial Joe - Almost a 1 hit wonder, but not quite.

Jadey · 09-03-2003, 09:25 PM
