    I love Devin Townsend, so my choice is either..

    Strapping Young Lad
    Devin Townsend Band
    Devin Townsend Project

    Actually count Rush in too.

    Hmm...the Weakerthans.

    Or Propagandhi.


    From those on the list: Arcade Fire.

    As much as I like Neil Young, there is another glaring omission from that list...

    Propagandhi

    Just a taste:

    Further listening - one of the most under rated and decade defining albums of the 1990's:

    Propagandhi is definitely one of the best punk bands of the 90's. Another legendary Canadian punk band is SNFU and I would put them right up there as well.

    TIL The Guess Who were not American.

    I vote Electric Youth, for soundtracking fellow godlike Canadian, Ryan Gosling, in this:
