This is why Canada is an inhabitable wasteland, this man right here is responsible for everything wrong in the world.

Sorry Canada, but it's just how things are.

Sure.

The major problem with the idea of "Canadian Music" versus that of the USA, is that Canada has not been home to any unique musical movements. Canadian music is music of imitation, hence why when one spins a Canadian record you don't notice a particular Canadian sound. We've seen that in this thread, where people just notice that, in a very piecemeal fashion, some of their favorite artists from genres dominated by other countries just so happened to be Canadian. Hence why, say, Neil Young is identified with Americana even though he isn't.

Love me a lot of early Gordon Lightfoot, everything up to Summertime Dream.

Yes,it is politically incorrect to think an American toy company (reference below) is connected somehow with American culture or to say an Americanized Canadian (expect for the folksy mystique part) is an avid fan of said company and to be on the safe side don't mention Lioneltech and Trainmaster Command, that never happened.
I SAID TRAINS bro.

You are on to something here. Not only that but many Canadian artists tend to want to steal many of American sounds and pretend that it is theirs although American artists do also copy Canadian music sound too but not as much as Canadian artists which could be why many Canadian artists are not taken seriously.

Even if Canadian artists never entirely created their own scene or movement (which it could be argued no artist truly does), I think being the best or an exemplar in one's field itself is a contribution to music - oftentimes, these are the people that lead sounds or paradigms or whatever you want to call them. Many Canadian artists are noted for how idiosyncratic their music is as well, i.e. Neil or Joni Mitchell. Neil is also credited with forecasting Grunge though, which is quite a feat despite how you feel about the genre or its fallout.

Surrell, you do make good points. Yes of course they are many Canadian artists that have been able to make some iconic impacts. I never dispute that at all. They are Canadian artists that I enjoy myself personally. I have never been anti-Canadian music at all. As I said, some American artists steal some Canadian musician's music and they pretend as if its their own. Just at look at Rihanna as example.

Some Canadian artist chick. She claims that her sound that she wanted was given to Rihanna. I forgot her name. I am not sure but I will look at some time.
