Here is a unbiased list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bands_from_Canada ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_wink.gif” />

Either way, I will try to at least do “Bad Devil” by Devin Townsend, and possibly “Choke” by Cauterize as they are apparently Canadian according to that list.

Other bands I want but I am not sure I will get the time to do anything with are Leonard Cohen (Avalanche, Halleluja, First We Take Manhattan), 3 Inches of Blood (Deadly Sinners) and Billy Talent (Fallen Leaves, Red Flag, Devil In A Midnight Mass).

Should this be a thing. My song choice will be

by Faunts.

Potential songs for me:

Mother Mother – (it doesn’t matter since none of you will author them)

Metric – Dead Disco

Crash Test Dummies – Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm (someone needs to do this if I don’t)

Bachman-Turner Overdrive – Let It Ride

Bachman-Turner Overdrive – Takin’ Care of Business

Bachman-Turner Overdrive – You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet (same disclaimer for all of these songs)

Sum 41 – Pain for Pleasure (definitely doing this)

Can I request “Too Bad” by Nickelback? I was always disappointed that one never made it to RB3, it’s probably their biggest hit not in the game. Plus it’s from Silver Side Up (before it became cool to hate them) so it’s more likely to be well-received than their later stuff.

Also throwing in a request for “Runaway” by Avril Lavigne. I’d love pretty much anything from The Best Damn Thing, but this one has Travis Barker on drums, so yeah.

Just my personal opinion, but I don’t think Nickleback would be a good idea for this pack, given the immense hate of them. I do like some of their songs, but I just fear that if we were to do a Nickleback song, someone would see it as a misrepresentation of the country, despite them being one of Canada’s biggest bands, due to the loads of negative attention they get.

Oh, just freaking go for it. I did a Bieber song (not for this pack) and picked up another guy’s Jonas Bros tracks knowing damn well there’s going to be hostility towards it. Hell, I bet Harmonix knew the consequences of adding the Naked Bros, Miley Cyrus, and Nickelback (twice!). I remember reading an interview on IGN about internal arguments over putting Linkin Park in RB2. Besides, it’s not like our 4th of July tracks represented the States all that well. Of the seven songs from there, only three were even about America, and two of those were satirical. So if you wanna add Nickelback to a pack of Canadian content, add Nickelback to a pack of Canadian content.

He raises a good point here. Do as you wish, I personally don’t care, I was just trying to give a word of warning about possible backlash. And knowing that the Nickleback tracks are among some of the most bought DLC from HMX, I’m sure it’ll do fine.

I hate Nickelback and would strongly support them for this pack, just because they’re so famous and — regrettably — a big part of any “bands from Canada” list.
