Worst Canadian Band/Artist EVER?

[NHSparky]

After hearing, "Baby, Baby, Baby" in WalMart for the second day in a row, after pulling the ice picks from Camping and Sporting Goods out of my ears, I had to question the musical prowess of our northern "brethren."  Granted, most everything coming from north of the 49th parallel/Great Lakes sucks ass, but there's some that just, well, SUCKS.

To that end, I leave you this.

Discuss.

[Ralph Wiggum]

I always liked The Guess Who & Neil Young.

H5 for "Teh JOOOOOOOOOOS!" answer, though I didn't pick that.  I said "Justin Bieber."  I actually like some of Byran Adams' stuff--"Summer of '69" is a good song.

I know, I know . . . I should have picked Celine.

I've never heard a Justin Beiber song, so I'll have to vote for Celine Dion.

I've only heard a line or two, but that's more than enough to form an opinion.

I can't think of any, who couldn't like these artists?

They are two great artists, indeed. I like them both. They were a staple on the 80's, which (next to the 70's) produced some of the best music ever written.

Bryan Adams is also pretty good.

Other bands from Canada are Rush, Gordan Lightfoot, Shania Twain, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, and The Guess Who.

No they're not. 

I had to crank up that Loverboy song.  It's so cheezy.

Yes they are 

Who do you like? I have a very eclectic taste in music. I listen to pretty much all of it, except Hip Hop, Teenie Boppers, and some Rap.

I don't listen to music much anymore.  I still like Megadeth and Black Sabbath.  Can't think of any Canadians on my list, though.

I am a huge Megadeth fan myself. I been listening to them since the mid 80's. Black sabbath are pretty good also. My thing is that I grew up around music. My whole family was in bands, and I am currently in a band. With having that atmosphere, I was subjected to listening to all kinds of stuff. So, if it is music, and I like it, I will listen to it, no matter what genre it is.

Yep, I like the story behind that also. I watch it in Discovery Channel every time it is on.

Rush and April Wine are on the top of my list when it comes to Canadian bands.

Sorry but not a fan of Justin Beiblebrox or whatever it's name is.

what does they may have broke even to the water mean???

[Big Dog]

what does they may have broke even to the water mean???

I had to look it up, couldn't remember the lyrics.

The line is, "They might have broke deep and took water."

Does any one know where the love of God goes
when the waves turn the minutes to hours?
The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
if they'd put fifteen more miles behind 'er.
They might have split up or they might have capsized;
they may have broke deep and took water.
And all that remains is the faces and the names
of the wives and the sons and the daughters.

[Big Dog]

Loreena McKennitt, Rush, Neil Young, and Triumph are my favorites.

"...They might have split up or they might have capsized

they may have broke deep and took water...."

What it means is a wondering of how the ship sank. Usually when you hear the term 'broke deep and took water', it means that the ship went under water and broke off, then took water. Like what happen to the Titanic, when the bow filled with water causing the ship to sink nose first. They say that is the same thing might have happen to the Edmond Fitzgerald; as it was going threw the high waves and storm caused damage, water filled the cargo hauls in the bowls.

Loreena McKennitt, Rush, Neil Young, and Triumph are my favorites.

Triumph is a great progressive band.

What about Michael Bublé?

[Kyle Ricky]

What about Michael Bublé?

Hi5. I dig Buble .. Then I always like the big band and crooning stuff. People like Tony Bennet, Mel Torme, Frank Sinatra, Perry Coma, Dean Martin, etc., etc.

I also love smooth Jazz ... There was a station out of Pittsburgh called JJJ, it was all jazz all the time. I used to love listening to it.

[Big Dog]

Triumph is a great progressive band.

"Lay it on the Line" is one of my favorite 80s power ballads. The live performance in Halifax is da shit.

"Broke deep". Without looking up a definition, it's a nautical term having to do with an abnormal reaction of the bow. The bow is designed to break through the water, and the further it breaks into bigger waves, the more lift it produces to pitch the bow back up and out of the water. In certain conditions which depend on the height and interval of the wave as a ratio of the length of the boat, and the improper throttling of the boat,  a wave bigger than the bow can submerge it, while simultaneously a previous wave can be cresting on the stern, lifting it up, and pushing the bow even further down. Under just the right conditions an otherwise seaworthy vessel can power it's way right to the bottom. Note that even a larger size wave without the same wave interval will not produce the same result, or vice versa.

IIRC, the Edmund Fitzgerald's wreck was actually found a couple of years ago.
