My personal good Canadian artists list:
Kittie
Kobra and the Lotus
Loreena McKennitt
Lydia Ainsworth
Sarah Slean (although her newest album was bland as hell)
The Agonist (only with the new singer, Vicky - this is important)
Of course, I won't get any respect for any of those picks, but whatever.
I've got too good taste in music to be cool
