I agree with all the missing ones bellow everyone is right, and lets not forget .Harem Scarem, Payolas, Max Webster/Kim Mitchell, Haywire, Jeff Healey, Wilt T and the spirits, The Jitters, Platinum Blond, Partland Brothers, and so many others
Wow great list, but if wanted to do the best Canadian bands of "all Time", you might have included three juggernauts of Canadian Bands - Rush, Triumph and April Wine!
My Favourite Canadian Artists: 1. The Tragically Hip 2. Rush 3. Nickelback 4. Barenaked Ladies 5. D.O.A. 6. Thousand Foot Krutch 7. Three Days Grace 8. Simple Plan 9. Finger Eleven 10. Our Lady Peace Honourable Mentions: Arcade Fire Alexisonfire Tegan and Sara Avril Lavigne Default Theory of a Deadman My Darkest Days Evans Blue/Parabelle Klaatu
I would agree that Neil Young and the Guess Who were great Canadian artists, but the rest I could definitly live without the rest. But what happened to Rush and Triumph? They were the best thing to ever come out of Canada!
I have seen some of the best Canadian rock bands out there , Rush , April Wine , Pat Traverse , Frank Marino and mahogany rush , Loverboy , The Guess Who , Steppenwolf , Theory of a Deadman
I can’t believe I as a Texan know more Canadian music than this ‘nucker!! RUSH?? BTO?? Triumph?? Annihilator?? Exciter?? Flotsam and Jetsam?? Seriously....😳
How about Streetheart, Trooper, Aldo Nova, Loverboy, Red Rider, Watchman, Haywire, Stampeders, Glass Tiger, April Wine etc darn great Canadian musicians.
Moxy, The Seeds of Time(who became Prism) The Collectors(who became(Chilliwack) Lynx, Goddo, Trooper, Powder Blues Band, Downchild, David Clayton Thomas & the Shays, The Ugly Ducklings
Rush, Anvil... And ... well, at least you still make great comedians AND you did give us William Shatner! So there’s that. (Just teasing ... because I can’t forgive you for Justin Bieber).
As a Canadian myself, I wholeheartedly apologize for the hellspawned abominations that are Justin Bieber and Celine Dion. (yes I "borrowed" that from Chickenpika)
@wiskas55 their list of hits is only long because they are the only canadian band on the radio they honestly play one of their songs every hour where i am. and in comparison to hits olp has more hits the nickle back does
@madatgravity1984 - First, read the comment by RawberryManana. He uses IS because it is correct! Second, that isn't racist, I never said anything against race, just your country. Lastly, sorry I am self taught in electronics and I needed a video to show how my circuit I designed worked for an instructional site. Next time I will just post a nice big middle finger that has a captioning reading, "figure out a touch sensitive circuit to control various colors of lights yourself."
Actually, I didn't know Finger 11 was Canadian. I love that song! How about Justin Beiber, (don;t freak out, now), Cochrane?? Life is a Highway??? Classic tune! Okay, maybe some of my picks aren't rock, BUT, Life is a Highway BETTER be!!
Well that is certainly an alternative view of what may be considered the best 10 bands to ever come out of Canada. Music will always be a subjective thing so who can say you are wrong? I think you might get a lot of varied response from those that don't agree though. It certainly dates the era you are from....lol!
Other notables, the Hip? I love the Hip :( But that's okay at least you have the tea Party. It's all good,I realize we all have different tastes in music. A lot of great music comes out of Canada. Living so close I hear a lot of it. Gotta love 97.7
yeah for sure death from above, rush whom are in a league of there own neil pert u are the best percussionist in any band past of present and every band from metalica , acdc, jimmy page will atest to that 1.billy talent should also be mentioned lol 500,000 people in germany didn't show to see justin beiber there.
I'm just making an"educated guess" here, but whoever composed this list, is most definitely an "indie" fan! How do you explain the order?? 54/40? never heard of them! And they're ahead of some of the greats? Where is Trooper? April Wine? I know age is a factor, but really???
@madatgravity1984 - english, but not in Canada. Read your comment over again. "Alexisonfire are a band, therefore there is more then one of then, which means its plural". NO!!! You can't just say that and make something plural! IF it IS PLURAL you could write it like, "Alexisonfire are bandS..." you need to make band plural as well and remove the bloody FUCKING "a"! However, that is NOT FUCKING right! There is only one Alexisonfire, because it is just a band. If you are referring to
You recently had a list of top alt rock bands from 1990 to 2010 and you had incredible bands like MUSE, RAGE, Pearl Jam and Tea Party so I know you like great music and talented musicians. How in the world can you do a Greatest Canadian piece plus a list of mentions and leave out RUSH?? From 1976 to 1983 no band in the history of music in any country cranked out better music, ever, period. Strange. You must be under 30.
@madatgravity1984 - Sounds good, I will do the mature thing and stop commenting because you obviously won't. This will be the last comment. I would just like to point out, you will be an, "Old Miserable Git" eventually as well. The difference between when you are old and me, is that I have more money than I now what to do with, and I can have fun, so even if I am miserable, I am having fun. So have a nice day and keep trying to attain the wealth I have (Which most people in the world can't).
@madatgravity1984 - No Alexisonfire IS a band. The band is singular. You mean, there ARE band members. A band is not fucking plural, if you say bands, then it is plural, but there is only one Alexisonfire band, however, it has band members which is plural! If you are going to try to retaliate, please, don't insult intelligence if you are the person making the mistakes. Just say it out loud! Alexisonfire are/is a band. Which SOUNDS right? Its pretty obvious! Are you ESL?
I agree with all the missing ones bellow everyone is right, and lets not forget .Harem Scarem, Payolas, Max Webster/Kim Mitchell, Haywire, Jeff Healey, Wilt T and the spirits, The Jitters, Platinum Blond, Partland Brothers, and so many others
Wow great list, but if wanted to do the best Canadian bands of "all Time", you might have included three juggernauts of Canadian Bands - Rush, Triumph and April Wine!
Not including Rush on this list is a crime against humanity
rush singer is a fuckin whining douchbag
You are just a fuckin douchbag
fuck you! they sold more albums than all the others totaled ffs
No Rush or Triumph! Am I that fucking old! You had the Guess Who! Which only had a handful of hits compared to the 2 I mentioned! So sad!😪
@@jeffmoore7519 You are so wrong...the guess who had way more hits than Triumph...it's not really even close.
To leave the Tragically Hip out of a video list of best Canadian bands is like leaving Jesus out of the Bible.
Omg!!! Econoline crush? Over Rush and BTO
Unleash the Archers, Headpins, Toronto, Chilliwack, Alannah Myles, Rush, Stampeders, Voivod, Metric, BTO, Loverboy, Triumph, Crash Test Dummies, Max Webster, Cowboy Junkies, Trooper, Helix, Anvil, The Band, Bootsauce, Goddo, Coney Hatch, Econoline Crush, Fosterchild, Glass Tiger, Haywire, Hedley, Honeymoon Suite, Idle Eyes, Killer Dwarfs, Kittie, Klaatu, Lighthouse, Mahogany Rush, The Northern Pikes, Payolas, Platinum Blonde, Prism, Red Rider, Saga, Simple Plan, Steppenwolf, Streetheart, Tragically Hip, April Wine and you can't leave out the Rainbow Butt Monkeys 😆 So many great bands out there.
My Favourite Canadian Artists:
1. The Tragically Hip
2. Rush
3. Nickelback
4. Barenaked Ladies
5. D.O.A.
6. Thousand Foot Krutch
7. Three Days Grace
8. Simple Plan

10. Our Lady Peace
Honourable Mentions:
Arcade Fire
Alexisonfire
Tegan and Sara
Avril Lavigne
Default
Theory of a Deadman
My Darkest Days
Evans Blue/Parabelle
Klaatu
The biggest omission in my mind is Matthew Good Band. My top Canadian Rock Band by a mile.
Hell yea
I would agree that Neil Young and the Guess Who were great Canadian artists, but the rest I could definitly live without the rest. But what happened to Rush and Triumph? They were the best thing to ever come out of Canada!
I have seen some of the best Canadian rock bands out there , Rush , April Wine , Pat Traverse , Frank Marino and mahogany rush , Loverboy , The Guess Who , Steppenwolf , Theory of a Deadman
The only Canadian rock bands i've seen are Prism, Trooper, Loverboy, Bryan Adams, April Wine and Honeymoon Suite
... and BTO, April Wine, ... etc :-)
Default.
(Yes I know they were lesser known and were only a two-hit wonder outside of Canada but they're still underrated in my opinion)
great video! what was that song by 54-40 called? I've never heard it before and it sounds really good!
Loverboy, Triumph, Gordon Lightfoot ! :)
Gordon Lightfoot, Rush, The Tragically Hip
I can’t believe I as a Texan know more Canadian music than this ‘nucker!!
RUSH??
BTO??
Triumph??
Annihilator??
Exciter??
Flotsam and Jetsam??
Seriously....😳
I would almost argue that the other bands mentioned are better than those shown in the video...
How about Streetheart, Trooper, Aldo Nova, Loverboy, Red Rider, Watchman, Haywire, Stampeders, Glass Tiger, April Wine etc darn great Canadian musicians.
APRIL WINE!!! I don’t much care for rush but they probably should be here! Sheepdogs also come to mind! Kittie aswell
OMG... you missed so many bands. Rush,Bto,Max Webster, Stampeders,April Wine,Prisim,
and many more....
They did a horrific job assembling this list. It is then r fave not the real Top!
I watching a bunch of Canadian band videos and this is the only one that didn't have rush 1st or 2nd and not even mentioning them. I'm truly shocked.
Moxy, The Seeds of Time(who became Prism) The Collectors(who became(Chilliwack) Lynx, Goddo, Trooper, Powder Blues Band, Downchild, David Clayton Thomas & the Shays, The Ugly Ducklings
PAUL JANZ
Big Wreck is fucking awesome.
M8 you are so right
Triumph?
Rush? Rush? Rush?
Pat Travers will always be the reigning guitar god of Canada
Uh oh, look out, here it comes!
Frank Marino could smoke him and so could Rick Emmitt.
Dude, where's Glass Tiger, Amanda Marshall and Honeymoon Suite?
Amanda Marshall...this is who you complain about...how about April Wine or Max Webster or Triumph or The Band or Chilliwack or Trooper.
You forgot 2 of the greatest! Trooper and Big Sugar! Both amazing Canadian Bands! PUT THEM ON THE LIST! >:D
rush and the tragically hip are easily the greatest Canadian bands of all time . You missed the mark big time
Rush, Anvil... And ... well, at least you still make great comedians AND you did give us William Shatner! So there’s that.
(Just teasing ... because I can’t forgive you for Justin Bieber).
As a Canadian myself, I wholeheartedly apologize for the hellspawned abominations that are Justin Bieber and Celine Dion.
(yes I "borrowed" that from Chickenpika)
@@JoshuaGillard-mh9kp no worries my polite stone curling, poutine loving neighbor. Inventing Ice beer more than makes up for a couple hosers!
Where are The Band, BTO, Gordon Lightfoot, Edward Bear, Jeff Healy among others? Yeah, I'm really old!
Ok before I watch the video if I don't see rush or annihilator on this list I'm gonna go ballistic
Noah Balboah435 anihilator? Don't your ears bleed listening to them?
Not at all I love metal music and rush is my favorite non metal band
That was on there for like half a second and Rush wasn't on the list. That was the honorable mentions.
@wiskas55 their list of hits is only long because they are the only canadian band on the radio they honestly play one of their songs every hour where i am. and in comparison to hits olp has more hits the nickle back does

to me The Guess Who is the defining band Canadian of all time ,,
Wheres Rush???
What about billy talent, or simple plan or marianas trench? And In my opinion three days grace and alexisonfire should have been on the list...
Alexisonfire is definitely one of the best Canadian bands ever
Although this list of Canadian groups are amazing - your list is very biased to your musical tastes. Great list tho.
GoranMak rush and Hail The Villain should have been here?
It's a garbage list...he forgot so many great bands and included so many so so bands.
Actually, I didn't know Finger 11 was Canadian. I love that song! How about Justin Beiber, (don;t freak out, now), Cochrane?? Life is a Highway??? Classic tune! Okay, maybe some of my picks aren't rock, BUT, Life is a Highway BETTER be!!
Really? Heart, April Wine, Rush, Loverboy, Triumph, Bachman-Turner Overdrive? This vid gets a hard thumbs down.
THE BAND!
Putting Nickleback on this list is an affront to music, rock or otherwise.
Who made this list????
Rush?
Hell yeah Sloan!
Really no fucking PROTEST THE HERO
They are the reason i looked up a video like this
Is Sum 41 on this video?
tragically hip? bto? april wine? rush? wtf
And you completly forgot about death from above 1979, they fucking rock
Omfg this is fucking amazing I love this video except the fact that the Hip were no in it
wheres rush and april wine?
LIGHTHOUSE
no Rush, they're a top10 best band in North-America
Everybody has their own favorite list but where is the truly best artist ever to come out of Canada.......Gordon Lightfoot.
Wheres The Vincent black shadow ???
Rush????
Where the hell is rush
Well that is certainly an alternative view of what may be considered the best 10 bands to ever come out of Canada. Music will always be a subjective thing so who can say you are wrong? I think you might get a lot of varied response from those that don't agree though. It certainly dates the era you are from....lol!
and rush, triumph, april wine, Saga !!! ? and many others, where are them
MAX WEBSTER
i really think protest the hero and rush should be on here
Billy talent
The hip?
your missing Rush, Billy Talent and Three day's grace in your top ten list, I expect you to fix it.
I think Three Days Grace deserved to be put on that list -.-
Some decent bands on your list. But in my opinion Bryan Adams should be moved to a 'Worst Of' list.
Other notables, the Hip? I love the Hip :( But that's okay at least you have the tea Party. It's all good,I realize we all have different tastes in music.
A lot of great music comes out of Canada. Living so close I hear a lot of it. Gotta love 97.7
HTZ F.M.
NO PROTEST THE HERO?! WOW!!!!!!
yeah for sure death from above, rush whom are in a league of there own neil pert u are the best percussionist in any band past of present and every band from metalica , acdc, jimmy page will atest to that 1.billy talent should also be mentioned lol 500,000 people in germany didn't show to see justin beiber there.
This is hardly worth watching for any credibility.
RUSH; SAGA; TRIUMPH; MAX WEBSTER; STARZ; ?????????????????
JOURNEY
@@robertmontgomery110 yesssss, i love they.. I saw.

RUSH??????? BILLY TALENT?????? THE SHEEPDOGS????? MATHEW GOOD BAND??????? and lots of others that should be on this list...
deadmau5 is pretty good, too
Brian Adams and no RUSH!!!
CROWBAR

I'm just making an"educated guess" here, but whoever composed this list, is most definitely an "indie" fan! How do you explain the order?? 54/40? never heard of them! And they're ahead of some of the greats? Where is Trooper? April Wine? I know age is a factor, but really???
Where ar simple plan and billy talent?
myfree
I thought Nickelback was from Seatle?
Rush? Saga?
Lets be real Alexisonfire is one of the best bands to come out of Canada
If you're going off of record sales then this list needs a lot more research
Gordon isn't rock, he's more folk
@madatgravity1984 - english, but not in Canada. Read your comment over again. "Alexisonfire are a band, therefore there is more then one of then, which means its plural". NO!!!

Metric's playing as I watch this.... yet they're not here according to the comment... (haven't finished yet)
No Moist? No Hip?!?! No Matthew Good Band?!? I can’t believe you went with Nickelback instead!
NOT!!!! Love Neil Young and Bryan Adams!!! Most of these bands need to EARN their Place in History!!!!
Watch the whole video.....
@madatgravity1984 - Sounds good, I will do the mature thing and stop commenting because you obviously won't. This will be the last comment.
