Of course, many "make it big". I didn't mean all of them were. In the 90s especially, many were.
For example, the singer from the Tragically Hip passed in 2017. I believe it was the same disease that took Neil Peart's life. A member of parliament put up a motion to give him a state funeral. It ultimately didn't pass, but the Prime Minister practically gave a eulogy on parliament hill. Aside from a number of U.S. border towns, I suspect most people outside of Canada don't know this band. I think they're great. I might even bring up an album for my next turn!
This is by no means a complaint. I suspect the bands in question are happy and comfortable with their success, even if it's just in Canada.
We're more than just Nickelback! lol
Full disclosure - I happen to like some of their stuff.
