I will admit to agreeing with the last bit. It has been the grounds for my almost life long appreciation of Dylan. But, quite frankly, Tragically Hip were,,, well just tragic, exactly because their lyrics were designed to appeal to Canadians.
If I was forced to chose a Canadian, it would be Leonard Cohen. |

The Tragically Hip are the love child of CRTC.
If Canada's airwaves were wild and free then these people would never have been so poisoned by such dross. Gord did do some stuff for the inuit aboriginals though- unlike most of these cradles. Yes....once you take the “Canadianess“ out of it.....the tragically hip are really not that good, most of us on here seem to have the same opinion, we are all Brits that grew up to a different soundtrack...so we are not sold on the memories and Canadian fervour of it all, we hear it for what it is. Average at best. |

I think my favourite classic Canadian artist is Gordon Lightfoot.....I think he is also very much a Canadian musical icon. and in my opinion his music way better, its easy listening, but meaningful.

Dylan and Cohen are amongst my favourites as my ability to sing rivals theirs.

Bud the Spud was his biggest hit, I think. There were some darker bits about Tom, but his body of work stands as important, especially from the Maritimes through Ontario, maybe skipping over Quebec. I like the Ketchup Song.
