OK, then what besides acid rain and Celine Dion has your country ever given us?

[/ QUOTE ]

Stars, Broken Social Scene, Feist, Amy Millan, Destroyer, New Pornographers, Broken Social Scene, Death From Above, The Arcade Fire, Neil Young, off the top of my head. And it's not my country.

Add Tragically Hip to that list.

Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

First of all, you're giving us acid rain. And good list by the above poster. I'll add:

The Band
Great Big Sea
54-40
Swollen Members
The Guess Who
Sarah McLachlan
Avril
Joni Mitchell
BTO
The Tragically Hip are probably the best band no one in the US have ever heard of.

lol, everyone forgot Rush.

Not that anyone here likes Rush (well, I like Rush), but to not put them in with "good bands Canada has produced" is just stupid IMO.

Of course, every band on there is trumped by the awfulness of Gordon Lightfoot. So yeah.

Leonard Cohen is as popular (if not more popular) than Bob Dylan in some European countries.

Do you have any nominations that weren't spoonfed to you by "VH1's awesomely worst rock songs ever"? Those are both great songs.

Anyways, the real answer is "My Humps" or that one horrible Gwen Stefani song about bananas.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ironic since numerous media outlets both in print and on the internet have singled out your two choices as being the worst songs of all time.

[/ QUOTE ]

Really? Link me to one.

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doin' the town and doin' it right
In the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin'

Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
And they shimmy
And Sammy's so skinny

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love

Nibbling on bacon, chewin' on cheese
Sammy says to Susie "Honey, would you please be my missus?"
And she say yes
With her kisses

And now he's ticklin' her fancy
Rubbin' her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes
As they wriggle, and Sue starts to giggle

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love

La da da da da ...

I used to like them...now I want them all to die in a fire. If you're Canadian, you're guaranteed to hear their songs at least 20 or 30 times on the radio each day. The Tragically Hip is how most stations fill their Canadian content quota.
