The under-appreciated Canadian musicians

I just listened to Big Sugar on iTunes, and that gave me today's subject....the under-appreciated Canadian artist. Now...maybe it's a combination of my age....or music interests, but I wholely believe that this list of Canadian bands should have just as much recognition as Sum 41 or Avril Lavigne or even the mainstay Canuck band, The Tragically Hip. The list that follows is a short list. I'm sure there are many others out there, but these are the ones that come to mind. They are: Big Sugar Cowboy Junkies 54-40 Ron Sexsmith Sloan (an underground following, not mainstream) Hawksley Workman Rheostatics Sky Diggers Joel Plaskett The New Pornographers Sarah Harmer K-OS
