For Canada it is the Tragically Hip on all three counts. I can hardly imagine any Canadian saying anything else.

Tragically Hip are not relly known outside of Canada. That would take the iconic away.

I don't really know them and I'm Canadian.

i would have thought Rush would be the most iconic from Canada

It could have been Rush as it could be Neil Young or Brian Adams or Céline Dion.
But I would put Leonard Cohen as the most iconic from Canada.

Since I'm from the US, I'll try to limit mine to my home states of Maryland and West Virginia.

MD most iconic = Clutch
MD hippest = Good Charlotte
MD best = Jimmy's Chicken Shack

WV = Bill Withers for all three
