Foo Fighters, STP. Way better than Nickleback

LOL you're in denial. Canadian music is at its peak right now: Arcade Fire, Death From Above 1979, the list could go on.

And that Bieber album really wasn't all that bad

Kek, that's a pretty shitty peak then

Thankfully Geddy Lee's voice has fallen a bit with age because in the 70s he was like...oh god my ears.

New Pornographers
Rush
Arcade Fire
Godspeed You! Black Emperor

I don't mind falsetto if it's Rob Halford or Barry Gibb because they actually had a sense of melody. This is just atonal shouting.

Rush is great though

Also, Mac DeMarco

It's even worse _in_ Canada because their radio stations are required to play 60% Canadian artists at all times so you'll hear these guys nonstop.

I-I like 90s OLP, before they sold out

I mean they were basically budget Smashing Pumpkins but they were still alright. Spiritual Machines in particular is a gr8 album

>peak
>two bands whose respective peaks were over a decade ago
canadian music is definitely at the peak of its popularity right now (drake, the weeknd, bieber, drake again) but definitely not the peak of its acclaim or critical success. there haven't been any canadian bands/projects in the past ten years to achieve the perfect balance of critical acclaim and popularity that AF and DFA achieved when they were still working

canada will always be sub-USA when it comes to the music industry, even with drake fucking up charts and the internet

STP is not post-grunge i dont give a fuck what people say. Core and Purple are grunge albums, Tiny Music and on are a mix of everything

but yes Foo Fighters is better than Nickelback
>>
YOU OWWGGGHHT TO GNKOW
>>
>>64112234
I was going to say. How the hell could STP be post-grunge if they had their videos playing all over MTV back when Cobain still had a head on his shoulders.
>>
>>64110792
what's wrong with rush or alanis morisette?
>>
>>64111473
is this a joke because of montreal is from georgia and boards of canada is from scotland

Alanis Morisette kind of reminds me of how Cobain complained about people like Mike McCready and Jerry Cantrell who used to be in hair metal bands and then suddenly donned flannel and pretended to be angsty.
>>
>>64112623
He warns you off the bat that he doesn't like prog.
>>
>>64111303
Actually he sounds like he's imitating Dennis DeYoung there.

Or did Dennis DeYoung imitate him? Chicken or egg...
>>
should we consider bieber canadian music? sure he was borned there and lived in canada most of his life, but he clearly was completely influenced and raised on usa pop culture.

all trash btw

Yep, that is bait.

Mike McCready and Jerry Cantrell were a threat to Kurt Cobain talent-wise

My sister actually thought Avril Lavigne was cool back when she was like 12. Then she realized she was just a ruse to sell pop music to tomboys who thought Britney was too cutesy.
