Billy Talent IS really! However, the best Canadian band would have to be F11. There are lots of others who come close, but F11 consistently blows my mind.

Do they have to all be rock bands? I like Sarah McLachlan, Alanis Morissette, Simple Plan, Sam Roberts, and Matt Good.

Weren't there a couple of '80s bands from Canada that at least had knocked out 1 or 2 decent hits in the U.S.????


Bryan Adams had a band behind him.......does he count?

"Rush", "BTO" and "The guess who" all did well, but i'm not really a fan of any of them, although Rush has my respect, and TGW are kinda legendary.

<p>And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping. The moon tells me a secret. My confidant. As full and bright as I am, this light is not my own. A million light reflections pass over me. It's source is bright and endless. She resuscitates the hopeless. Without her we are lifeless satellites dreaming dreams. And as I pull my head out I am without one doubt. Don't want to be down here feeding my narcissism. I must crucify the ego before it's far too late. I pray the light lifts me out before I pine away.

I saw Billy Talent open for Sum 41 and thought it would be less painful to smash my head through a plate glass window than listen to them. :) However, their new song on Much is kinda catchy so maybe I'll give them another shot.

I met Rush when I was a baby. Just found that out a few weeks ago.

wouldn't that mean you're selling Matt on the street as a prostitute?
