Hot Hot Heat :cool: , the Arcade Fire (though i really only know two of their songs)

i know this hasnt been talked on in awhile but i was just looking and i dont see anybody saying that our lady peace is their favorite canadian band. Is it because nobody knows who they are or just dont like them period?

The Arcade Fire all the way, those guys are really talented. "Funeral" is a masterpiece, can't wait to hear some new stuff from them

Arcade Fire, Sam Roberts, Stars

Yay Tragically Hip! Of course, they're hated here because for some reason it's cool to hate hometown bands when they make it big, but I still love Gord and the boys.

^that is wierd they are hated in their hometown haha

Broken Social Scene and anyone that is associated with the arts and crafts community.

 

 

indeed.

 

 

 

'Feist' is included in the Broken Social Scene community... Feist has my vote :thumbsup:

The Arcade Fire.. does it matter if not all band members are from Canada? :huh:

^ No, they live in Canada and have for a while so I'd say they are Canadian.

Nope, they're based in Montreal, and most of the members are Canadian. They've won Juno awards.

 

In a funny way, they're more of a Canadian ideal than they might have been, because of the way that they're from all over. Canada supposedly prides itself on being a mosaic rather than a melting pot, and there are so many influences in their music doing just that.

yeah i'm sorry, i don't know why i put the doves down, i wasn't thinking straight.

 

however, Bedouin Soundclash is another sweeeeeet band from Canada.

 

Check out "When the Night Feels My Song" for those of you who have never heard of them, and for those of you who have heard that song, but no other Bedouin song, listen to "Gyasi Went Home"

OUR LADY PEACE!!! they rock!

METRIC!! Broken social scene, Rufus Wainwright!!!, arcade fire, the dears, tegan and sara...etc I love Canadian music! :heart:

I don't really like them. I could have seen them here in Halifax but didn't really want to.

I saw them, they were great! (Though they did use way too much reverb the entire time). I love the lead guy's voice.
