<br>[quote]And Rush [/quote]
Vastly overrated prog-rock dinosaurs.
[quote]and Neil Young[/quote]
Barely competent songwriter. Voice shot. Shouldn't sing.
[quote]Joni Mitchell, [/quote]
Sensitive-singer-songwriter; writing clunky rhymes about Woodstock also makes her a hippie.
[quote]Broken Social Scene,[/quote]
Generic indie.
[quote]Blue Rodeo[/quote]
A band full of Mellencamps.
[quote]Bruce Cockburn,[/quote]
The canadian Sting (not a compliment).
[quote]The Tragically Hip[/quote]
Wanted to be U2; tried and utterly failed..
[quote]The Dears,[/quote]
Corporate post-rock.
[quote]The Arcade Fire,[/quote]
Flavor of the month.
[quote]The Rheostatics,[/quote]
Sang songs about hockey and Saskatchewan. Cynical attempt to appeal to nationalist pride.
[quote]Sloan, [/quote]
Cure for insomnia.
[quote]54-40, [/quote]
Covered by Hootie & the Blowfish. Enough said.
[quote]Gordon Lightfoot, [/quote]
"As big freighters go, it was bigger than most." Bad lyricist.
[quote]Hawksley Workman,[/quote]
A one-man hype machine.
[quote]Tempus Fugit,[/quote]
Soulless canadian garage-rock.
[quote]Howie Beck, [/quote]
Sensitive male singer-songwriter. "Play us at work!"
[quote]Jane Sibery,[/quote]
Nice looks. Bad music. You can't win 'em all.
[quote]Barenaked Ladies,[/quote]
Out of all the bad bands you listed, they're perhaps the worst; certainly the most musically offensive.
[quote]Mary Margaret O'Hara, [/quote]
Yet another sensitive singer/songwriter. They're a dime a dozen up there.
[quote]The Guess Who,[/quote]
Horrible AOR dreck. For people who think that Aerosmith is too harsh and real.
[quote]Voivod, [/quote]
A bunch of Metal boneheads who think that Spinal Tap was a documentary that happened in real time.
[quote]The Band, [/quote]
Levon Helm--the heart and soul of the Band--was American.
[quote]Ron Sexsmith, [/quote]
See "Mary Margaret O'Hara"
[quote]Rufus Wainwright, [/quote]
Both a sensitive-singer-songwriter and a painfully bad lyricist
[quote]Sarah McLachlan,[/quote]
Music for women and sensitive males with ponytails, wire-rimmed glasses and sweater-vests.
[quote]Spirit of the West, [/quote]
Regresso-rock.
[quote]The Bourbon Tabernacle Choir,[/quote]
Glorified high-school garage band. Painfully, pseudo-clever names are always a warning sign.
[quote]Godspeed You Black Emperor,[/quote]
Tuneless crap by ideologically-retarded frenchies.
[quote]D.O.A,[/quote]
A poor man's Black Flag that didn't know when to quit/self-destruct, like all good punk bands do.
[quote]BTO,[/quote]
"That's BTO; they were Canada's answer to ELP. Their big hit was TCB." Awful, overplayed album rock.
[quote]Cowboy Junkies, [/quote]
Most notable song was a cover. Never a good sign.
[quote]Daniel Lanois, [/quote]
Better as an assistant producer. Not ready for prime-time
[quote]Raffi, [/quote]
He might be a big hit with the juice-box, 'nilla wafer, nap at noontime crowd, but using him as an example of a good canadian artist is a bad, bad sign.
[quote]Martha and the Muffins,[/quote]
A canadian attempt to clone the B-52s gone tragically wrong. Horrible name, bad lyrics and simplistic melodies.
[quote]Max Webster,[/quote]
Rush proteges--enough said.
[quote]Oscar Peterson, [/quote]
An anomaly; most likely developed talent from being the only black man in the whitest country on Earth.
[quote]Carole Pope, [/quote]
Pure hype. Much like FGTH, hype, provocative lyrics and outrageous live shenangians do not a talented artist make.
[quote]The Pursuit of Happiness[/quote]
A poor-man's Smithereens.

Wow, did Dudley Do-Right kick you in the nuts or something?
