[Pranzo Oltranzista]

Michael Snow. He did music too. Glenn Gould should be there. Jean Derome and René Lussier.

As for singers or groups, Cohen is a good choice, but I'd go with Plume Latraverse or Richard Desjardins. Klaatu is certainly a weird choice, but might be my favorite canadian group... I'm probably forgetting something important.

 

[Dr Pepper]

There's a lack of Sloan on that list.

Tragically Hip, Sum41, Nickelback (yeah, I know), The Guess Who, Metric, Steppenwolf, BTO, the Barenaked Ladies, Our Lady Peace, Big Wreck......Canada's produced some decent rock over the years.

Not really a huge fan of anyone on that list......I know rush has been around forever but even with their extensive discography why do I only ever hear the same two songs on the radio?

 

[ACC1224]

The Best Canadian Artists are ...

.......not on that list.

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

I voted for the five that I like.

Joni Mitchell
Gordon Lightfoot
Leonard Cohen
The New Pornographers
Neil Young

Not all that crazy about Young but I do love the rest.

 

[Jovavic]

Gordon Lightfoot

Shocking vote right there

 

[VMBM]

Delete.

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

Shocking vote right there

I love myself

 

[Ben Grimm]

... The Band (4/5, Levon Helm from Arkansas, of course), Joni Mitchell and Neil Young would easily be my big three. Then maybe Rush, Gordon Lightfoot ... idk.

That's who I voted for.

 

[beowulf]

where are the Guess Who? Tea Party? Sloan? etc etc

 

[WeThreeKings]

Sarah McLachlin isn't on the list but Carly Rae Jepsen is?

 

[Lshap]

Some great individual songwriters on this list, but it's missing two great bands: Guess Who and Barenaked Ladies.

My favorite two are Rush, Razor, and Smoulder.

 

[the squared circle]

RUSH.

 

[mehavecable]

Where's Lighthouse?

 

[BertCorbeau]

The Arkells deserve some respect too here

 

[I am not exposed]

Rush is the only band/artist I like from that list. And they probably wouldn't rank in my top 50 favourite bands/artists.

 

[Neil Racki]

He'll lick your boom boom down ... apparently.

 

[End on a Hinote]

Controversial opinion: Barenaked Ladies should be in the R&R HOF

 

[Bixby Snyder]

Triumph was pretty awesome, there was a period from about 79 to 82 where they were probably just as good or better than Rush.

 

[Qurpiz]

Devin Townsend with the skullet needs to be on the list

 

[TheAngryHank]
