Pointless poll for the day.

Rush, Barenaked Ladies, Alanis Morissette, Celine Dion, Neil Young, Shania Twain, Nickelback... uh?

I went for option 2 but that's only because I own every able by one of the Canadians. -_-

Guess Who,  Crash Test Dummies,

Well that narrows the gap. God Shuffled His Feet was one of my favorite albums.

Well I didn't mention Justin Beiber either, and for good reason.

It would depend on the time frame involved.  Ask me to name as many songs as I can by the Beatles or by Canadian artists in the next 2 or 3 minutes, I could probably just reel off Beatles songs for the whole time and still have plenty in mind that I haven't had time to say yet, but for songs by artists that I know to be Canadian, I have to stop and think who is actually Canadian first, so the Beatles list would be longer.  Give me 3 or 4 hours, though, and, without resorting to looking anything up, I would have probably already listed almost every released Beatles song, but have a longer list of songs by Canadian artists.
