Andee 220524 Report post Posted January 14, 2011 Classic: Neil Young The Guess Who Tom Cochran Loverboy Honeymoon Suite Helix Bachman,Turner, Overdrive Helix Newer: Jann Arden Alanis Morrisette Big Great Sea So many talented artists in Canada, that's just a little sampling of what I like. Gordon Lightfoot - Wreck of Edmund Fitzgerald This song literally sends shivers up my spine every time I hear it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jabba 18389 Report post Posted January 14, 2011 Saw an interview recently with Ken Rockburn and Randy Bachman. Bachman seemed like a regular guy - actually a very accessible personality. He gave context to Bachman Turner compositions and insights to his days with Burton Cummings & The Guess Who. Don't ask me to explain it, but there was a certain Mystique to rock in those days. The equipment, the technology, the connections to those who were designing and creating the music of the times. I know that Randy's personality resonated with the rock'n roll public back in the day. Don't ask me where Canadian music is going today - do we need a Canadian Brittany/Mily/GaGa/etc...? Actually, the music has died for me; just too much ear candy. Marketing is good.

Cleo Catra 178382 Report post Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Anything by Protest the Hero. Incredible band from Whitby, and they actually ARE as smart as their lyrics. Forgotten Rebels. Awesome punk rock. Also, Neil Young, especially Old Man Except for the two above, can't respond with other bands/specific artists, because I don't like most of the music by the artists I list below, however, I have loved, LOVED, each song I list below for so many years I couldn't even imagine Chantal Kreviazuk - Wayne Listening to this song/watching this video is one of the first times I realized I could fall in love with someone not because they were male/female but just because I was so in awe of their talent and aura Barenaked Ladies - What a Good Boy - and Life, In a Nutshell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f94xm1k7GQ4 The Tragically Hip - Scared http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gO-OYUKzG Edited January 15, 2011 by C*** C**** Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feist - Mushaboom They were on Letterman last night!Matt Mays - Cocaine Cowgirl By the way, if you have the Google Chrome browser, you should check out the website The Wilderness Downtown. It's a pretty cool music experience tied in with Arcade Fire. It might work on other browsers too, but I know it was made for Chrome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
