Anybody else here agree with this statement? Their mainstream stuff is absolutely terrible and their indie bands are just average/boring/bad. Discuss.......

Canada's made no more-or-less bad music than anywhere else. They didn't invent Britney-fucking-Spears. They did invent great stuff like Rush, I Mother Earth, The Tea Party and Arcade Fire.

Rush is dreadful and lets face it, Arcade Fire arent bad but they are really not all they are cracked up to be either.

Pretty much true for the most part, I am not gonna argue it. Our music scene sucks with the exception of Steve Miller and The Violent Femmes. Anyways, Geddy Lee has quite possibly the worst vocals of anybody. He alone makes Rush not worth listening to.

i can agree with the geddy lee stance. but you shouldn't judge this kind of band solely on its singer.

I saw the Violent Femmes at a festival outside of Melbourne for New Year's Eve 1999-->2000. One of the worst gigs ever. The singer had a big tantrum onstage and threatened to walk off because people were throwin' plastic cups at them. Why did they do that? Because the band sucked and the singer was an obnoxious twat.

Its part of my point, there really are no flawless Canadian bands.

I had to make this thread here too, it was a pretty popular thread there so I thought it could create good discussion here as well.
