Been struggling with this one. There are a lot of Canadian acts where I really, really like one of their albums and that’s it. Unicorns, The Dears, Islands, Broken Social Scene all come to mind.

Arcade Fire are the main exception as I’ve loved everything they’ve done, if we can (please) ignore the most recent album.

Pretty sure Liars don’t count - didn’t even know there was a possibility that they might get in on a technicality.

Guess I’ll go with:

  1. Arcade Fire
  2. Unicorns
  3. The Dears
  4. Broken Social Scene
  5. Islands

Still, can’t help but feel I’m missing someone important.

Surprised by the seeming lack of mentions for Grimes. Reckon if this vote had been done around 2016 shed be in a lot of peoples’ votes.

Canada is a sneaky power nation at this music lark. Would be very surprised if I consider as many contenders for another country in this series (presuming we dont do the US or UK)

Weird that there was that whole Canadian indie rock explosion, and yet so little of it is noteworthy now.

Another vote for:

Neil Young
Leonard Cohen
Destroyer
Caribou
Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Grimes is awful, Peaches is great. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
