The best Canadian music acts

[cold_kitty]

who do you guys think is great?

i think our lady peace and sam roberts are so talented. i think they are some of the top acts we've got to offer that are actually getting noticed.

[el_scorcho]

Whoever knows me knows that I LOVE OLP so much. I think they're absolutely fantastic. :)

[sarah**]

OLP I've seen them live 4 times and they get better each time :D Clumsy is still an amazing album.

[sarah**]

And Sloan, they are so good. I've seen them live and they are fab! Sam Roberts I love but his live act is a little iffy.

[sarah**]

PLEASE NO ONE SAY AVRIL PLEEEEEASE :!:

[Jacob]

Avril Lavigne is AMAZING!!!!! hahahahah don't worry, I'm joking. She is horrible live.

Yes, OUr Lady Peace is amazing live. I saw their live special on TV last night, and THEY WERE REALLY GOOD. The new guitarist Steve Mazur is good!

[sarah**]

Yeah I was worried the new guy would suck but he rocks!

[Sweet One]

el_scorcho, you're really pretty!! You're boyfriend looks like a cutie!! What a sweet couple! :)

I'd say:
- Our Lady Peace
- Chantal Kreviazuk
- Sarah McLachlan
- Sam Roberts

Oh, and Nickelback. ;) :lol:

[Jacob]

ewwww Nickelback! hahah

The Tragically Hip are fabulous live!
If there is one song that even non-Hip vans like, it's 50 Mission Cap. Download it!

[Sweet One]

Oh come on J-Dawg, you know it's all about the nickelmen! :lol:

[Jacob]

ewwww no! hahaha Chad Kroeger's reign of terror has gone on too long!

[Sweet One]

:lol: :lol:

Please know that i am taking a piss. I am all about "Anti-Nickelback" I cringe at the sound of his husky husky voice. :)

[cold_kitty]

i like nickleback! i gotta say! and i even like theory of a deadman....no come on now don't beat me up!! lol.

simple plan still sucks though.

[Sweet One]

i like nickleback! i gotta say! and i even like theory of a deadman....no come on now don't beat me up!! lol.


SERENITY NOW!!! SERENITY NOW!!! :lol:

[Jacob]

I used to like "How You Remind Me" but after hearing it twenty times on the radio in one day. It was then that my liking of Nickelback began to crumble.

[cold_kitty]

i think sum 41 is cool too. i'm not really into punk, but they're funny!

:: see laura has the pirate expression in her face and runs ::

[Sweet One]

:lol: :lol:

*chases after Nadine* :lol:

[JessLovesColdplay]

*squints* I'm trying to think of all the Canadian acts I've seen. Hmmm...

OLP
Sam Roberts
Wide Mouth Mason
Matt Good Band
Moist
Edwin :oops:
Nickelback (I must admit they put on one helluva show in Edmonton )
Chantal Kreviazuk

How could I forget the Barenaked Ladies? They are freakin' hilarious!
:lol:

I might see Sloan, Chantal and David Usher during Klondike Days this month but I don't know yet. :shrug:

[Jacob]

Yes! The Barenaked Ladies rule!

[Sweet One]

The Ladies are great. I like Call and Answer. That song's a classic, plus Steven Page's voice is so powerful!!

hmmm...WIDE MOUTH MASON!! Shaun is sooo hotttt!! :)

[Jacob]

Call and Answer was good. I love Be My Yoko Ono however.

Thanks That Was Fun is also a good song.

[JessLovesColdplay]

This is turning into a BNL lovin' thread. I like it! I met them while they were in Edmonton. They're so lovely! :D

I also love Call and Answer, and Thanks That Was Fun. They always make me shed a tear. Other favorites include Brian Wilson and What a Good Boy. I remember I was obsessed with Shoebox when I was in grade 7 or 8. Those were good times. :)

[sarah**]

Yeah BNL are so funny. My favourite song is Brian Wilson, but the live version :)

[sarah**]

I love some of The Hip and really dislike the other stuff. Their best album is Trouble at the Henhouse, it's a great album all the songs are amazing.

[sarah**]

Oh yes and I'd like to add that I hate The Tea Party more than any other band in existence. I kid you not, everytime they come on the radio I have to change the station. I'd rather listen to shitty pop music or shitty rap music than them :shock:

[fifi]

sarah mclachlan definately!!!! :D
and
i loved early alanis morrisette stuff (jagged little pill) :)

[el_scorcho]

el_scorcho, you're really pretty!! You're boyfriend looks like a cutie!! What a sweet couple! :)

I'd say:
- Our Lady Peace
- Chantal Kreviazuk
- Sarah McLachlan
- Sam Roberts

Oh, and Nickelback. ;) :lol:

Thanks! :) We took that picture on the first day we met. I love him so much :D

[Sweet One]

awwww....bless ya! :)

[PaRaDoCX]

Call me a freakin terd but I seriously HEART Jann Arden and I adore her journal entries on her site... freakin amazing I tell ya! :D

But Sarah M, Alanis, OLP... Hmm, who else.... I also like Hayden...

[sarah**]

Apparently Hayden went to my high school 8) 8)

[DrPolitik]

Best Canadian i've ever seen live is still Neil Young, 4 times now baby ;)..can't say i've seen too many other Canadian groups live...oh wait i just saw Kathleen Edwards! She totally rocked!!

as for cool Canadian musicians in general, i like the Constantines from Toronto.

oh and Sloan were one of my fave groups in the 90's, havent kept up with them lately, i thought they'd split. oh an Propagandhi, hardcore speed ultra political punk mayhem :P

[DrPolitik]

Apparently Hayden went to my high school 8) 8)

cool! heh almost as cool as having Mark "Luke Skywalker" Hammil go to your high school. :P Well..ok maybe not..but it's one of the few claim to fames i have dammnit!! :lol:

[CityandColour]

Our Lady Peace
Default
Barenaked Ladies

[Professor Peedston]

i can't believe nobody's mentioned Rush or Bachman-Turner Overdrive :o

(please know i'm kidding)

seriously though, i think Godspeed You Black Emperor! could take any other band mentioned here to school. except maybe neil young.

[ShibbNani]

Barenaked Ladies and....ALANIS!!!!!! :D

[CityandColour]

i can't believe nobody's mentioned Rush or Bachman-Turner Overdrive

dude, why kid? i forgot about those, they fucking rock. but Randy Bachmans former band "The Guess Who" were a lot better then both of those bands combined.

[Jewelee]

sarah mclachlan definately!!!! :D
and
i loved early alanis morrisette stuff (jagged little pill) :)

I was going to say these two but u beat me so i definitely agree.

[DrPolitik]

Ah Godspeed! Montreal's finest, of course! They're great!!

[ShesLostControl]
