to be honest, the only canadian musician i can i think off (off the top of my head) is that fellow who did the wreck of the edmund fitzgerald
 
Niel from the young ones, you mean?

Just kidding, yes, I've heard of neil young...never knew he was Canadian though
 
R.I.P. Gord. You wrote many a song that will be remembered forever. Those who have not heard The Tragically Hip, you have been missing out on a very talented group.
 
Huge loss. A very proud talented Canadian. Ive seen them several times and put on an awesome show.
RIP Gord you are missed
 
This song is a masterpiece by the Hip.

Missing my deceased buddy Andrew who was the biggest Hip fan around.

I'm sure Andrew and Gord are best friends by now.

Godspeed Gord......

DOA, Propagandhi, Alanis Morissette, ...Whaa, you never heard of Alanis? :canada:
 
Been a fan of these guys since their first album. But I really only like the albums Up To Here and Road Apples. Everything after that was too dark for me. Here’s a great song by them
