This is sort of an off-shoot of @willbrawn’s question. I noticed that several people wanted to talk about groups that they loved from Canada, and I’m always looking for new music so I can compete with my overly hip younger siblings. So for those of you who are Canadian, or music buffs, or love this one band from Canada, to whom should I be listening?

I’m not Canadian, but I really used to enjoy Thousand Foot Krutch. Their older stuff is what I liked most.
Guess Who. I’m an old guy.
Feist, Feist, Feist, Stars, of Montreal, Patrick Watson, Arcade Fire, Final Fantasy, Metric, Rufus Wainwright, Broken Social Scene, Tegan & Sara, Coeur de Pirate, Terrence and Philip!
Wow, my songbird tells me out of 39 artists listed, 12 are Canadian. Maybe I should just move to Canada.
Stars, Broken Social Scene, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band, & Do Make Say Think.
A lot of these bands all switch out members in between each other. So they could be all one SUPER GROUP. But they all rock in different ways.
LIGHTS. a 22 year old girl from Toronto. very electronic pop.
Cross Canadian Ragweed – not Canadian yet have “Canada” in the band name. They’re good.
Rush,Feist and Jim Carey.
Lots of good Prog from Canada

Canadian rock bands are just like German rock bands. They are so cute trying to play music they don’t understand.

Here’s one Canadian song I like:

Pretty grungy in a pleasant way.
