    I love Devin Townsend, so my choice is either..

    Strapping Young Lad
    Devin Townsend Band
    Devin Townsend Project

    Actually count Rush in too.

    As much as I like Neil Young, there is another glaring omission from that list...

    Propagandhi

    Just a taste:

    Further listening - one of the most under rated and decade defining albums of the 1990's:

    Propagandhi is definitely one of the best punk bands of the 90's. Another legendary Canadian punk band is SNFU and I would put them right up there as well.

    TIL The Guess Who were not American.

    I vote Electric Youth, for soundtracking fellow godlike Canadian, Ryan Gosling, in this:
