Justin Bieber. No wait. Cross that out. Celine Dion. Errr, Bryan Adams?   

Rush easily. Although, Saga, GYBE and Druckfarben are all favorites as well.

Didn't know James LaBrie had a solo project. LOL
Voted for Rush.

Also, my top 7 Canadian bands (no specific order).

Rush
Max Webster
Voivod
Gorguts
Devin Townsend's various endeavours
Beyond Creation
FM

Thought I could think of more, considering I'm Canadian and all. Embarrassed

I was hoping Rush would have been excluded since it is obvious they would run away with it - and they have. I voted Other: FM.

My favourite Canadian bands tend to be Quebecois.  And a particular favourite (thanks to a PA user for alerting me to the group some years ago) band is Dionne-Brégent.   For an artist, my choice is Mort Garson (he would be my first overall choice).  Conventum is another I like.

On the list, I particularly love Maneige, Sloche, and Miriodor.

Love Rush and Harmonium, but I would also note FM (who are on this site) and Figgy Duff (who are not).
I've been listening fairly obsessively recently to FM's Black Noise since the death of Nash the Slash. It's really a remarkable record.
