Hey all. Second thread here.
I got lots of favourites when it comes to Canadian music and I know I'm also a biggie fan of The Barenaked Ladies, The Trag. Hip and even some of the French stuff is good. Do you have a favourite Canadian band? Please post the band you love most that is CANADIAN.

A lot of people don't even know what Canadian music is these days. To be truthful, I think Brian Adams and Alanis Morissette destroyed our reputation! For that, we are truly sorry!
But seriously, I listen to all types of music, just not rap and hip hop (as I call it) rubbish.

[Off-Topic]: I'd appreciate another word for know to make it clear as we have 'kennen' (be acquainted with) and 'wissen' (have knowledge of).
What I wanted to say is:
"Ich schätze, wir kennen kanadische Musik, auch wenn wir nicht wissen, daß es kanadische Musik ist." *lol*
I for myself like "Paul Gross and David Keeley" who are not popular at all here in Germany. Often, people know Paul Gross when you mention 'Due South' but they don't know he's also a singer.
You can't imagine how difficult it was to get their album "Two Houses" and I'm still looking for how to get their 2nd one. I couldn't find it here so far, not even on German amazon.
The Northern Pikes sang the theme song of Due South, that's why I know about that band, but this theme song is the only one of them that I know - it's impossible to find anything by them.
I guess I should go to Canada and get some of your stuff *hehe*

Hmm.. here in Europe, Canadian music is not THAT popular, even though I'm sure we know a lot of Canadian Music even if we don't know that it is Canadian music... weird, eh?

Unlike other countries, Germany doesn't have a "Must" of songs that need to be played in German whereas in France, around 50% (or whatever) of the songs played on the radio have to be in French language. Most songs played in Germany are English.
German singers and bands though only have international success when they do not sing in German (Rammstein is an exception and I really wonder why such a crappy band is so popular overseas *uhh*).
Missile I'm pretty sure you've at least heard of
Nena, Modern Talking or The Scorpions, haven't you?

No, actually Germany (and most European countries) are very interested in the music of other countries, but unfortunately only American bands become very popular here usually while it's much harder for bands and singers of other countries.
Perfectly understandable to me that our music isn't all that popular overseas.Counries tend to put their locaL artists on their stations.Rammstein is the only German band I know of.

I love The Arrogant Worms for Canadian Bands. They are always entertaining to see live!
Other singers I adore, who are smaller and not well known are Bruce Guthro, Martina Sorbara, Danny Michel. All folky type singers with great songs, and great talent.
