Canadian music thread.

maybe you've heard these tunes, maybe you haven't. Canada has a rich musical legacy. All genres.

Rock. For my friend Mirthful Me, Rush:



For the Hip Hop fans, Point Blank:



For my son, Billy Talent:



For my daughter, Avril(oh sh!t):




One of my fav's. Just rock and roll. The Headstones:



Country? Everyone knows Shania.

I'll update later.

I can't believe my son likes tunes from MY era. Steppenwolf:

Intrepid, cool thread idea.You tube vids never work for me( and yeah I've tried dozens of times the correct way) so could you maybe put up Our Lady Peace- Angels losing sleep?Thank you.Love Rush too.Tom Sawyer is my Fav.

Youtube, this is how you do it:

[ yvid]KNZru4JG_Uo[/yvid ] I moved the "[" and "]" out so that you could see the code. Leave them alone and you get:

Tom Sawyer:



Just quote the letters and numbers after the "=" sign. Hit the Youtube button, up next to the "Googlevidio" button and add that code.

Hope you dont mind me adding to your list of Canadian bands intrepid, too late.

Four Canadian bands straight off the top who i think are brilliant, in no particular order. 3 Inches of Blood, Annihilator, Strapping Young Lad (pretty much anything involving Devin townsend) and Alexisonfire.

Heaps of really good metal bands have come out of Canada over the years, Cryptopsy, Anvil, Voivod, Exciter and many more.

A little taste.

3 Inches Of Blood - Deadly Sinners



Alexisonfire - Water Wings




Annihilator Alison Hell



Strapping Young Lad - Relentless

I Mother Earth- Summertime in the Void(with some beefcake for the ladies):



Good tune.

Three Days Grace- I Hate Everything About You:



And their latest, Pain:

On a lighter note, The Barenaked Ladies- If I had a Million Dollars:



And Pinch Me:

Even though they aren't a fav of mine you can't have a Canadian music thread without The Tragically Hip. Little Bones:



Gord let's the vocals go in Fully Completely:

I was wondering where the Hip were. I'm not into their newer stuff, but I have a few of the older albums. Gord Downie is such a maniac!

Two Hip favourites:

Locked in the Trunk of a Car



So Hard Done By (warning - much louder than the previous vid)



I love Jann Arden. I wonder many weddings in Canada this song gets played at?

Jann Arden - I Would Die For You



Here's two great Canadian acts in one song...

Swollen Members ft Nelly Furtado - Breath



[edit on 11-7-2007 by Duzey]

It came from the 80's, Triumph. Lay it on the Line:



I was actually at this concert.

Well Rik sang that one. Time for Gil, Rock and Roll Machine:



You wouldn't believe how tall Gil is. When he steps from behind the drums, he's HUGE.

BTW, feel free to add to this thread friends.

It came from the 80's. Pt.2 Gowan- A Criminal mind:



This guy is REALLY talented. He can play about 6 instruments.

Lighter again, Moonlight Desires:

What started out as a joke turned into the first rock and roll hit by a Canadian group. The Diamonds, Little Darlin:

Gowan? I hated it then and I hate it now.

Someone I do like is Buck 65. I know, I have rather strange taste in music sometimes.

Wicked and Weird



Kennedy Killed the Hat



More great music from the 80's...

Northern Pikes - Things I Do For Money



The Pursuit of Happiness - I'm An Adult Now (the video sucks, I wish I could find the original version which was much, much better)

A classic, April Wine- Sign of the Gypsy Queen:



And You Could Have Been A Lady:

They call this country? It's maritime folk, The Rankin Family- You feel the Same Way Too.



I went to college with 2 of the girls, Cookie and Heather.

I ask again, this is country? Mairi's Wedding



You may not like this if you aren't from a maritime area. You can be a metal head and still like this if you're from the area.

Oooh, remember Blue Rodeo?

Trust Yourself



Diamond Mine
