Avril Lavigne, Tegan and Sara, Rush, the numerous other acts. Also, how do you feel about the law that says at least a third of music on Canadian radio has to be of Canadian origin? Too much regulation? Good for promoting patriotism? Just bizarre?

Personally, I quite like Canadian music, although often, I couldn't at first tell it wasn't American. It's not just the accents, both countries do produce reasonably similar music.

Celine Dion is alright.

And I guess Billy Talent from my rebellious teenage years.

That's about it.

Depends on the band obviously. I think Rush or Neil Young has the most classic status. Arcade Fire has that indie appeal. Celine Dion and Shania Twain and Alanis Morissette are power houses. In the 90s we had our analogues of American alternative rock like Our Lady Peace and Barenaked Ladies. We had our 80s rock like Glass Tiger and Bryan Adams. And this decade Drake and The Weekend and Bieber are dominant.

We are crushing it!

Forgot about Billy Talent. They have some good jams. Sum 41 too. Every era we have similar bands that are analogous to whatever the US is doing. I don't really think Canada had nu metal though...

Even though stuff like Nickelback and Theory of a Deadman suck, they are crushing it.

I don't really feel any differently about Canadian music than I do any other music. I'm sure there are a lot of artists I like who are Canadian and I don't even realize it. The only time I was hyperaware of it was around the turn of the century when Canada was the go-to for good post-rock bands, such as GY!BE, Do Make Say Think, Set Fire to Flames, etc.

Im Canadian and i like rock, but i've just never had a thing for uber-celebrated bands like Rush or Tragically Hip. Both of them just sound really blah and generic to me.

Rush has good stuff but the Hip is one of the most grating bands ever. People just say they're a Hip fan because it's the thing to do.

The same as I do about music from any other country. Like some, don't like some.

I'm listening to Shred Kelly right now.
