As I am sitting here waiting between classes listening to probably THE most Canadian musician to ever have lived I see you fuckers cocking about not knowing what's what.

Hey, give me some credit. I'm not from Canada, much less Alberta, and I threw up the Corb Lund.

I wouldn't call myself a fan but he's probably the most famous canadian musician that doesn't suck.

I guess you and I are just going to have to disagree because I just can't stand country music, I'll take the folk stylings of Stan Rogers any day. Plus he died in a boat fire; i don't know why but that just feels like a really Canadian kind of death to me.

I worded it wrong. I wasn't trying to argue who was better. I just think Tom was more overt in his "Canadianism"

edit: By that I mean Tom is more identifiable as Canadian to people outside the country.

Nobody here has bothered to maximize the 'ghey'.

Allow me:

Sorry, Mr. Marsh. That one was a British singer. But a great song.

This may depress you (or you may not care), but for a huge number of folks (aged over 40, anyway) in the US, Anne Murray is the singer most associated with Canada. And for younger generations, leaving Quebecoise Celine out, Shania Twain was until the Biebs came along.

Taylor Mitchell, 19-year-old Canadian folk-pop singer killed in 2009,
KILLED BY PACK OF COYOTES WHILE HIKING IN NOVA SCOTIA. Now that's fucking Canadian.
