Canadian music, a topic near and dear to my heart. I've seen some good bands listed here and some missed entirely. Here's a list off the top of my head.
David Wilcox - I always seem to get frustrated trying to talk to Americans about him because there is apparently some folk artist by the same name, but the man's a great songwriter, guitarist and showman, and he's got one of the smoothest voices I know.
Burton Cummings - Another smooth voice and a great songwriter, and definitely one of my favourite keyboard artists. As piano-playing singer-songwriters go, I'd put him second only to Billy Joel.
Stompin' Tom - When the CBC determined the top 100 greatest Canadians, he was number 13, just one place ahead of....
Neil Young
and then there's...
Gordon Lightfoot
The Guess Who
BTO
Rush
Headpins
Chilliwack
Harlequin
Red Rider
Helix
Ian Thomas
Anne Murray (yeah, I like Anne Murray)
Prism
April Wine
Triumph
Doug and the Slugs
The Jitters
Trooper
The Barenaked Ladies
Great Big Sea
The Tragically Hip
and that's just what's currently on my MP3 playlist.
