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.

1.godspeed ybe
2.gulfer
3.secret pyramid
4.valiska
5.ian william craig

also - tim hecker,humans, jaques green, loscil, poemss, loads of constellation (do make say think/set fire to flames/ that colin stetson/sarah neufeld album among others.

Is there an end date for when the results get totalled up?

  1. Neil Young
  2. Godspeed You! Black Emperor
  3. Leonard Cohen
  4. Fucked Up
  5. Arcade Fire

Near misses: Rufus, Martha and Loudon Wainwright, other various GY!BE offshoots

  1. Arcade Fire
  2. Broken Social Scene
  3. Tim Hecker
  4. Besnard Lakes
  5. Grimes

Things you have been slow to realise :
