The only one of those I have heard of is the Barenaked Ladies.

My favourite Canadian musicians are Sarah McLachlan, Loreena McKennit, the Arrogant Worms, Bryan Adams, Roch Voisine and k.d. lang,

yes those are all some of my favs, judging from that list I also suggest you check out some other Canadian bands such as

- Wolf Parade/Swan Lake/Sunset Rubdown(Spencer Krog's stuff)
-The Golden Dogs
-The Tragically Hip
-Raising the Fawn
-Hayden (the folk singer not the classical composer)

and you are defintly not alone on that :)

L-o-o-o-v-e Leonard Cohen...not a band, but hey!...Worth mentioning nonetheless. Such a great singer, a great man...so talented, yet so humble.

Gosh, it's hard to see a title of a discussion like "Canadian Music" and not go for the shameless plug ;)

Here's a link to some free recordings from my now defunct indie band in Ottawa, Canada

It's no Celine Dion (Yuck! Sorry, couldn't resist) but it's pretty good otherwise, in my not-so-humble opinion that is :P

A lot of the Canadian bands I liked in the 90s aren't doing anything anymore. Wide Mouth Mason was pretty cool as well there was a little folksy band called The Waltons which I kinda dug.

LOL my boyfriend LOVES Celine. I'm like, meh, she's okay I guess, not crazy about her.

Personally, I prefer Shania Twain.
