In terms of global recognition from both mainstream and alternative outlets I'd say Rush is probably our ambassador, but I think a few other groups have infiltrated their ways into importance within specific genres. I definitely think the indie scene wouldn't be where it is today without Arcade Fire, and then there's VoiVod for metal. D.O.A was instrumental for hardcore punk and then there's also Neil Young. Hell, Corb Lund is really starting to catch onto the country music circuit down here.
More make it through the veil then you think, I just wish more people would peer through.
I would also say The Band, thanks to Ronnie Hawkins and Bob Dylan. Can't believe I forgot about them.
Now that is crap, but I did say bring the crap on.
You're in a losing battle man you just don't see it.
Hank Snow, read em and weep
... fyi Anne Murray is better than Dolly Parton and Gordon Lightfoot is better than Willie Nelson.

Yeah I was just going to say the same thing. Very few Canadian artists make it big on the American stage, or even the global stage. Rush is probably the only one I can think of.

Fame, fortune, power, titties. People say these are the most crucial things in life, but you can have a pocket full o' gold and it doesn't mean sh*t if you don't have someone to share that gold with. Seems simple. Yet it's an important lesson to learn. Even lone wolves run in packs sometimes.
