I find it amazing that in four years only one person has mentioned Leonard Cohen and no one has mentioned Skinny Puppy or Kid Koala.

I wonder if people knew they were Canadian! It does seem kinda odd those didn't get mentioned!

personally leonard cohen bores me to tears.

skinny puppy i only heard after ministry and didn't do as much for me.

kid koala is cool, but his label mate amon tobin holds FAR more attention in my ears.

i'm kind of out of the loop now, most of my canadiana stuff is from the 90s.

I love Amon Tobin but he's not Canadian.

You can't go into Skinny Puppy expecting Ministry, it's a totally different animal. In a lot of ways I wouldn't even classify them as the same type of music. Ministry is largely about aggression. Skinny Puppy isn't, they're more about just sounding fucked up and kind of abstract. If you've never heard Last Rights or Too Dark Park I'd recommend checking out one or both of them. I think their noisier, more experimental style of music on those albums might appeal to you.

What can I say about Leonard Cohen? If you don't like him, you don't. But if you've never heard Songs of Love and Hate you may want to give it a listen before you completely rule him out.

What about Hayden...he's talented, unique....The Tragically Hip, The Tea Party (sucks)haha..Alexis On Fire "Dallas Green grew up 20min away from me"....so what?......

yeah i know tobin's brazilian hehe just when i think ninja tunes it's all him hehe

as for skinny puppy i'll give them another chance.

i think i might have a cohen record somewhere i'll have to take a peak through my collection (basically stuff i salvaged from my mom's place before she put the rest up for sale). i understand that lyrically he's fantastic, i, just, can't, get, over, his, incredibly, monotonous, delivery, that, makes, william, shatner, sound, like, he, needs, ritalin.
