List of Canadian Musicians and Bands to Quote to People Who Think That There's No Good Music That Comes Out of Canada

But usually they want to know about movie stars and musicians, and I have a really hard time remembering who is from Canada and who's from America and who's from the UK etc etc etc. And I know that a good many of my favourite bands and musicians, are, in fact Canadian so I wanted to make a list of all my favourite Canadians musicians (and then ones who are pretty notable (meaning I have heard of them)).
