Finger Eleven is pretty damn enjoyable. Of course they should have kept Rainbow Butt Monkeys but hey they still make good music.

[SeanDMan]

Man, the ODDS. It's been a damn while since I heard them.

*Anti-Pop :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: *

I so agree about Rainbow Butt Monkeys. I remember the day when me and my friend heard about them and only liked their music because of their immature name. Oh, great times as a kid.

And I do belive the Odds released something in 2003, or perhaps it was the lead singer. All I remember is, The Odds rocked my world as a kid.

Come on people Three Days Grace is probably the best canadian rock band around right now (in my opinion). Their self titled album was probably the best album I ever bought there wasn't one song I disliked.

[Your Mom]

I really like Nickelback Nah, but is Our Lady Peace too obvious?

[Ananas]

MC Abdominal {Vicious Battle Raps}

The Trews {Not Ready to Go}

Swollen Members {Breathe}

So yeah... I have a pathetic grasp on Canadian music apart from the obvious (Tragically Hip, Our Lady Peace, Rush, Barenaked Ladies pre-Maroon) and the stuff you already have listed.

[thuganomic]

Our Lady Peace, and of course....

ARROGANT WORMS~!~!~

[Corizzle]

I would 2nd Sam Roberts but Alexisonfire suck.....

Nice to whoever said the Trews. I have tickets to see them on the 28th, and I am all ready to rock and roll when I see them. Three Days Grace on the other hand are playing tommorow and I get the unfortunate pleasure of seeing them. Sum 41 was here last week and man did they put on a good show along with Protest the Hero/Bombs Over Providence. And than next week, I get Kardinal Offishall and on Saturday I get to see Alexisonfire, Closet Monster and Hopes Fall.

I also kind of dig Swollen Members. I mean, they aren't really talented MC's and there beats are nothing to phone home about, but I guess since they are Canadian got to represent. Canada has a hot bed of talent when it comes to MC's... K-OS, Kardinal, Choclair, Brassmunk amongst other talented MC's.

To whoever said OLP... the first CD I bought was Naveed and it is still good for a listen or two. After Clumsy, Raine and the guys went down hill and became absolute shit.

How about some of the old classic punk bands... Dayglo Abortions? Marilyn Vitamins? D.O.A? Heck, I'd even say old Gob is pretty good pop-punk {not this Give Up the Grudge, I Hear You Calling Pussy shit. Give me Soda or give me death}.

Great Big Sea!

[GhostMachine]

The greatest Canadian band ever was......

Loverboy! :thumbsup:

That said, I like Finger Eleven and Barenaked Ladies.

I also have to admit there are a couple of Nickelback songs I like, but most of their stuff is the usual generic tripe.

sHeavy's pretty good, they're canadians IIRC. Check out Electric Slee and Destiny's Rainbow. It's sorta, stoner-rock and their vocalist sounds nearly identical to Ozzy Osbourne on some tracks.

[The Hardcore Canuck]

Bucket Truck, without a doubt.

Don't Call Me Judas (If It's All The Same) [technically there two different songs, but they're short so they put the two together for a single. Most Bucket Truck songs flow into each other).

[Guest Mr McFarlane]

Kid Koala rapes every single one of these bands/artists in the ass nightly.

And hard.

Especially to OLP.

Damn bastards.

[Cactus Drags]

Gob are awesome, pretty much the only Canadian band I know.
