    I'd agree with both these choices, and it's always great to see boingo mentioned here. Boingo was my first favorite band back in high school, and I moved on to the Dead shortly afterward.

    I'd add:

    Los Lobos
    Social Distortion
    Tom Waits


    Maybe Neil Young? He's lived in CA a lot longer than Canada, but I'd venture that he's still considered a Canadian artist.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.
