    Urgent: Canadians needed.

    I need some advice on good Canadian bands and their best songs so I can burn a CD for a friend*. Rock/ska/punk style songs are best but any music will be considered. I have already tempted him with the Tragically Hip's "Music at Work" and now want to unleash the full power of Canadaland.

    Thanks! I love you guys! Viva la Canada!
    (you will be treatly gently in the coming rule of the Starchild)

    *I'm two ska CD's already in his debt and most likely many more to come.

Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

        You should really screw with him and just fill the cd full of Celine Dion.

            You are such a Philestine, Starchild. You haven't experienced Canadaland until you have heard the musical mastery of William Shatner.

                Now there's a title I never expected to see!!!
                Also, they're not ska - but The Rheostatics are currently my favorite canadian band.

                    Rock/ska/punk style songs aren't the best products of
                    Canada. Try

                      Tempting someone with the Tragically Hip on the basis of "Music at Work" is like tempting someone with Pavorotti on the basis of him clearing his throat and belching. "Day for Night" was there last really solid album, while "Fully Completely" was their best.

                        I disagree. Even Phantom Power was very solid.

                        Fully Completely is, though, quite possibly their best album, with Day For Night running a close second.

                          And admittedly "Music at Work" and whatever their latest album was called were slightly disappointing.
