This.

nomeansno, obviously


voivod for runner up

>>69570457
Came here to post this although it was just an educated guess. Otherwise I'd assume it would be between a few French Canadian metal bands like cryptopsy, gorguts, etc.

If we went back 35 years I would've said nomeansno no contest

>>69570508
No, nomeansno is 35 years and same with voivod I assume

>MJ 350m records
>Bieber 10m records

leaf in charge of popstars

>a hockey puck

nah, but srsly, Devin Townsend.

>>69570523
shit you're right. didn't realize either were that old.


guess it's gotta be either godspeed or gorguts

>>69570528

Yeah, Devin gets it, even in spite of his last couple albums.

>>69570564
Yeah, Transcendence fell flat for me. Haven't heard Z2 or Sky Blue 'cause I'm just convinced that nothing tops Ocean Machine: Biomech, Addicted! and SYL's City and Alien.

Me, but I don't share my music

Exactly, they first couple albums are fire.
I'm not a fan of their new shit tho.

>>69574841
same, only like the first two

and really it's only because of the guitarist. I'd rather he joined a different band

>>69570373
Grimes, obviously. Canadians should be proud of her.

Legitimately had no idea they were Canadian.

>Alexisonfire

Back in 2013, YouTube had a little-known feature on its mobile app. You could swipe left and right from the description page.

Left would show you similar artists. I discovere Alexisonfire this way. Watch Out! is now one of my favorite albums.
