I'll start - Tananas. It's basically the soundtrack to my early adulthood. They were the Dave Matthews band of South Africa.

Another Canadian. I met a couple of Americans who had never heard of Matthew Good. I guess he was only big in Canada. I hear he's an asshole, though.

Canadian radio laws force a certain percentage of airplay go to Canadian artists. This thread just proves that it's doing it's job! I lived 15 minutes away from the boarder back in high-school and Canadian radio was a blessing compared to what was on the dial locally.
