List of Canadian Musicians and Bands to Quote to People Who Think That There's No Good Music That Comes Out of Canada
One of the questions I get the most in Australia is: What good stuff comes out of Canada anyways?
I usually answer with, me, of course.
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)).

So everyone knows:
Nickleback
Avril Lavigne
Justin Bieber
And while, yes, I have been known to listen to both on occasion, there are SO MANY BETTER BANDS out there that should be more notable globally because they are great.
PS. They are mostly in alphabetical order because I went through a list on Wikipedia, but sometimes remembered one after I wrote one in, so there's a few oddities.
