And I'm not even close to the full list of "every" canadian group/artist, not by a longshot. Those are just the ones I could think of who have tunes out that I count among my favorites.

My earlier post did say I couldn't choose just one favorite :D ... go look, it's there.

Anyone holding a gun to your head to read my blatherings?
I'm a Trooper fan. I saw them live in 1977 opening up for Styx in Montreal.

Your list brought back lots of memories. I have seen most of those bands live. Maybe the wierdest one most don't realize from your list is how big Saga was in their time. They filled up the Montreal Forum in the early 80's.

I just don't agree with everyone saying Tragically Hip. Of course they are amazing, but their music just doesn't have the timeless staying power for me as say Neil Young, Rush... I used to listen to their early records over and over but it has been years since I wanted to put them on my playlist.
