Boise and Nickelback

Neil Young, BTO, Rush, April Wine, The Guess Who at least offset some of the bad Canadian acts.

 

This is true, and I could handle this if it was all that sucked about Nickelback.

But to my ears, Chad Kroeger's voice is the most irritating thing I've heard in a long, long time.

When I descend into hell after my time here on earth, the soundtrack will be Chad Kroeger singing his horrible, heartfelt ballads nonstop for eternity.

So I'll be damned if I listen to a single note he sings now.

 

You're in luck here, then. You can even crank it to 11.

Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade, Plants and Animals, Broken Social Scene, Stars, Islands, Metric, etc.

 

Tragically Hip, The Trews, Sloan and 95% of the Band

 

Makes me wonder what's the most hated band in rock history in terms of critics and eventually the public turning on the band.

I think you have to pair mediocre talent with insanely good record sales to be in the running. You can't just completely suck.. There has to be a spark of talent, but also a complete aversion to change of style and growth as an artist over at least a decade of success.

Nickelback and Creed are the modern contenders.

 

Barenaked Ladies, Moxie Fruvous

also Shania Twain, though I'm not a country fan, she is quite easy on the eyes. Also as a native of Windsor, she counts as both a Canadian musician and a Detroit-area musician

 

Max Webster, The Kings, The Watchmen, The Headstones, Colin James and Blue Rodeo.

 

Chilliwack, Triumph, Loverboy, Toronto, Alannah Miles

 

Oh, can't forget Trooper

 

Trooper was definitely an underrated Canuckistani singles band and Toronto and Chilliwack had their moments. Triumph was among the worst bands to ever come put of this country.

 

Triumph was no Honeymoon Suite, but still...
