I overtook on the M1 today, going North.

Here's a clue.

The number plate was C4 RDF.

Oh, I thought this was going to be a thread about the venerable Canadian band...

Yes, just a few ......

Martha and the Muffins ? A bloody one hit wonder and are you sure BST are Canadian ? My Candian cousin doesn't think they are. Only David Clayton Thomas was a Cannuck.

Tragically Hip
Cowboy Junkies
Bruce Cockburn
Colin James
Moist
April Wine
Leonard Cohen
Alannah Myles
kd lang
Blue Rodeo
Crash Test Dummies
Sarah McLachlan
Sloan
Doug and the Slugs
Klaatu

Walter Ostanek

and, err,
Terry Jacks eek
Andy Kim
Celine Dion

Actually, the Canadian music scene is excellent, IMHO. Just because you don't know many of them doesn't mean they aren't over here. As I've said before, the problem seems to be British musical taste - they mostly import the crap ones. I'd go and see Sloan before most UK acts.

Oh and who could ignore Rita Webb:

(Glad Juan mentioned Tragically Hip and Leonard Cohen)

Incidently, Martha and The Muffins had only one hit in the UK-more in Canada, including the excellent "Black Stations, White Stations"

Can't get too excited by most mentioned above but...The Band and Leonard Cohen I never knew that they were Canadian
