Canada surprisingly has music that Americans rarely know about but are quite famous up here:
Kim Mitchell - Patio Lanterns
The Tragically Hip - Pretty much any of their songs, but Ahead by a Century and 50 Mission Cap are my favorites
54-40 - One Day In Your Life
I know Billy Talent.
We don’t talk about Hedley, though.
I swear they all did some of the rapes, Hoggard was just the worst of them.
For your information, I'm not American. I will check out those songs though, they seem pretty cool :D
When Gord Downie the lead singer of the Tragically Hip got terminal cancer, he went on tour. His final stop was Ontario, and they streamed it live on CBC (our national news network) to approximately 12 million viewers (Canada had a population of about 38 million)
He died less than a month later. Our prime minister released a tribute statement, and held a press conference over it. Our House of Commons observed a moment of silence. The Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL Hockey Team) brought down one of the retired numbers from the rafters during their next game, because Gord had mentioned him in 50-mission cap. Almost every radio station that plays music switched to Hip songs for the day. The Canadian press gave him newsmaker of the year for 2016, then again for 2017 because of how significant the reaction to his death was.
Dude was a legend both musically, and also in terms of the causes he championed. Especially the Indigenous reconciliation stuff.
damn
Just want to make you aware of Fiddlers Green by The Hip, because it always makes me tear up.
