The difference in word usage is significant.

Soon all Americans will labor in our Timbit factories while being forced to memorize the lyrics to Rush songs.

Rush, the only Canadian export I've bought.

They almost make up for the one-two punch of Celine Dion and Bryan Adams.

Almost.

The general reason you guys get our less talented singers is because most of them stay here. By far the best Canadian band are these fine gentlemen(tragically hip)

Close second ( perfect whenever I'm down)

Yes, we keep getting the 'less talented' Canadians -- Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Robbie Robertson. And they keep staying here.

But yeah, Rush is cool and The Tragically Hip are good.

Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Robbie Robertson.

true I stand semi corrected

I used to get everything Rush did , then they started making what sounded like the same album over and over again.

Nothing wrong with Celine Dion or Bryan Adams. The layperson music fan doesn't really seem to understand that most famous musicians/artists/singers are not monochromatic in their musical tastes like their fans.

I still like RUSH but looking back at their lyrics, they don't strike me as rebels but more like trust fund rockers with a libertarian bent. Same with AC/DC, their guitarist is dressed up in a prep school outfit, hardly a motif reflecting the worker.

I like RUSH and AC/DC and ABBA and Metallica and Manhattan Transfer, Michael Franks, Paula Abdul, Pat Benatar, Weird Al. So some people like Celine Dion and Bryan Adams? If they sucked so bad they would not be famous or sell albums. Not liking something at that level only means you don't like it.

I have never understood why people like Bob Dylan. I can't stand his voice. But again, that is just me and that is the point. Art is merely that which works, and by proxy of his success, he works for many. Just like ABBA. Just like rap, country, thrash metal, jazz, pop. Just like paintings and poetry. Art is subjective.
