Lets give some appreciation to all those bands from Canada.

I am partial to Bryan Adams....He has had a very dignified and long music career. He is the top selling male artist from Canada.

Yeah, Brian Adams is good.

Gordon Lightfoot has a great voice, and plays a nice acoustic.

I have most of Bryan Adams' cds.He was much better earlier in his career when he rocked.I first saw him in concert in 1982 opening for Foreigner.

I also really like Triumph and April Wine.Other Canadian bands I like are Honeymoon Suite and Red Rider.

Almost forgot Bachman Turner Overdrive and The Guess Who

Excellent thread! The first that come to mind are Rush and Bachman-Turner Overdrive. Let's not forget Frank Marino And Mahogany Rush. Marino rocked with the intensity of Jimi Hendrix with a lot of funk and soul.

Neil Young isn't just my favorite canadian artist. He's my favorite artist of all-time, and in my opinion the greatest music genius in history. ;)

I'm also very fond of Alanis Morissette and Avril Lavigne.

I gotta admit that I am not 100% certain as to all of the "successful" bands who came from Canada.

I do know that Loverboy did, though, so I am picking them.

To me, they were far more consistent than Adams, at least when it came to giving fans what they wanted. Adams had more hits and sold a lot more records. But you didn't always know what you were going to get with a Bryan Adams album, especially after the early 1990's.
