I havent seen a thread on this, please forgive me if there is one already, but lets talk can-rock, and i dont mean stuff like brian adams. I just got home from seeing C'mon for what seems to be the 10th time or so, and these guys cannot be beaten, except maybe by the Sadies on a good night, but those are two different styles of bands. I know with a country so large its hard for a lot of west coast bands make it east and vice versa, so lets talk can rock and see if we can all discover a few new groups along the way. |

I talk about this band alot but The Tea Party were simply amazing. I have seen them 5 times and out of the 50 plus rock concerts I have been too they rank in the top five of all time and number one for small venues. It's to bad they have disbanded.
I also really like
Matthew Good
Sloan ( Supposedly Dave Grohl's favorit Canadian Band)
Blue Rodeo
Great Big Sea
Hundred Mile House
Junkhouse/Tom Wilson
Hugh Dillon/The Headstones
5440
I hope to here more of Arcade Fire so I can decide weather I like them or not. I have heard one song and I really like it. I guesse a trip to HMV is in order so I can listen to that disk. |

Singer from my old band Ten Seconds Over Tokyo has done some work with the guitar player from Junkhouse. Never cared for the Tea Party. I Mother Earth had some cool tunes, so did Glueleg.

The Unicorns
Broken Social Scene
Wolf Parade
The Constantines (one of my faves as well)
The New Pornographers
Destroyer
All/most of Constellation Records' bands
The muchly overhyped AIDS Wolf
Plus The Band, NomeansNo and more straightedge hardcore bands than you can shake a stick at.
Ironically, Boards of Canada and Of Montreal are not Canadian.

Yep, this Canadian boy loves his Canadian music. |

I've heard 1 track of the Unintended doing Gordon Lightfoot, and its so great, they managed to make it really spacey and trippy, but i guess thats what happens when Rick White gets into the mix. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Bells Corners (Nepean) ON | | | I thought of a whole bunch more Canadian Bands. Some I have no clue if they are still around or not I guesse I will check the net but some old bands I used to listen to
The Payollas (I know Bob Rock is a producer)
Chalk Circle
Northern Pikes
Grapes of Wrath
Aldo Nova
The Pursuit Of Happiness.
Ah does that bring back some memories
I jammed once with the guitarist of Haywire and played the bass players bass through his rig at our High School but I never really cared for their music but they were cool guys especially the guitarist.
I saw April Wine 2 years ago with BTO. BTO sounded better but I prefer April Wines music. |

The muchly overhyped AIDS Wolf | I presume the Constellation stable includes Metric and Stars, right? I don't pay too much attention to BSS and its offshoots because You Forgot It in People did absolutely nothing for me.
One of the better-known Canadian hardcore bands is Propagandhi. Terrible, IMO, but the hardcore kids like them.
Devin Townsend (Strapping Young Lad, et al) is Canadian, isn't he?

There was a surprisingly large number of Canadians at Cornell.
