Hey, it’s not like I brought up Avril Lavigne!

It’s Leonard Cohen for me. Rush if I was looking objectively. Celine Dion if the RIAA is keeping score.
EDIT: cross out Rush, and make it Neil Young. RickJay convinced me. Hard to go wrong with either.
What’s wrong with Nickleback, Avril Lavigne and Justin Bieber, anyway? Sure, it’s bubblegum pop, but that has its place in music. I wouldn’t put those acts on top, but they rank ahead of Leonard Cohen as far as I’m concerned.
RUSH, by objective measure.
30+ years together (*). 24 gold, 14 platinum, and 3 multi-platinum albums. Sold out venues world wide when the members are well into their 60s. Canadian Music Hall of Fame, RR Hall of Fame, Juno Awards, a Grammy.
They released gold albums in 4 different decades.
[sub]* The band took a break following the deaths of Peart’s daughter, then his wife [/sub]
Eh!
In that case, Bob and Doug McKenzie.
Or as I know him, XXX’s Dad. (Our children go to school together)
I would say The Band, though of course Levon Helm was from Arkansas. My second choice would be Neil Young.
Neil Peart.
Hey, Leaffan asked for the greatest Canadian whatever, and Peart is widely considered one of the best rock drummers in history. Ergo, he’s the greatest Canadian drummer yet.
There’s an argument there.
You are dead to me.
Rock stars and their crazy names for their kids!

I can get behind that.
Peart is (was) also the lyricist, IIRC.
Mother Tucker’s Yellow Duck
NO! NO! NO! - Rocket Man, at the Grammy’s, introduced by Bernie Taupin!!!
Where is the guy with the launch codes when we need him?!?!?!?
Rush, no doubt about it.
If they’re still at it 20 years from now, maybe we could add Unleash the Archers to the discussion. They’re utterly fantastic, and singer Brittney Slayes is considered one of the top five female metal vocalists in the world right now.
Individual- can’t choose between Stan Rogers and Gordon Lightfoot.
Group- Spirit of the West
