Hmmm, Bachman-Turner Overdrive probably deserves a spot in the top five. Let's bump Econoline Crush.

The Weakerthans are cool. There songs sound that same but anybody who can pull off songs about curling I like.
I say bump the watchmen rather than econoline crush for BTO.

Can't do it - I'm a big Watchmen fan. I could bump the Mmm mmm mmm guys, possibly, but Superman's Song was pretty sweet...

I can't beleive there are this many bands from Winnpeg!

Isn't April Wine from Winnepeg?

The watchmen always seemed like they should be better to me. They just never quite got it right. Oh well if we all like exactly the same things....

April Wine's from the east coast or Montreal.

Just last week I mentioned April Wine is from Nova Scotia. Halifax, I believe.

I knew I'd heard that somewhere! See people do read your stuff. We just can't remember it. In my case it may be age :(

Sorry, I remember it from the Hips video I think they were playing Winnepeg and April Wine was playing same night

Include solo artists and you get Chantal Kreviazuk, Holly MacNarland, Remy Shand (although he only had one album, he got me listening to rnb) & the big daddy of them all Neil Young.

No doubt, Neil's musical career began in Winnipeg, but I must point out he was born in Toronto and lived in Ontario until the age of twelve. :-)
