Favorite Canadian Band/Solo Artist?

Recommended Posts

Surprised there is no mention of David Wilcox yet. :)

 

Spirit of the West is good too.

 

Pretty much all the others mentioned in this thread are worth a listen. :)

Of course David Wilcox! Saw him play at Ryerson in Toronto back in 1984 and then at various times over the years. He was awesome then and still now.

 

More to add to my list:

 

Triumph

Trooper

Prism

Aldo Nova

Gordon Lightfoot

What, no one has mentioned Leonard Cohen yet?

Not the greatest showman, but what a lyricist!

 

I also love Joni Mitchell's blue period:

 

...and then there is the rock energy of K-town The Tragically Hips, different generation alright, but already from way back then:

...there is Jean Leloup, either with

(chorus in English, but the rest in French, pour une fille d'Ottawa...)

When not kitish, or worse totally wasted, Leloup could give a great show!

The first new Headstones single in almost 10 years. A somewhat inspirational little diddy called BINTHISWAYFORYEARS from those Kingston lads who simply refuse to fade away.

 

"Ain't nothing better than motherfuckin' rock 'n roll"......truer words have never been spoken :D

Here is one that perhaps no one will know. A local guy from Ottawa that did not make it big but played charity events locally, stage name "Bolt Upright and the Erections". He did a charity event in 1986 with some new members, all local guys from Ottawa most of them worked at CTV. I knew a few guys in the band and my ex-wife was in the audience that night.
