You fail again Canada

[Longhorny630]

Leaving Rush out of the Olympic concert? Are you kidding me? Bubbly, Nickleback, and Avril are more important to Canadian musical history than Rush??? Kudos on Neil Young, but damn, I really hope Rush declined to play or something cause leaving them out is a huge mistake.

 

[FAST FRED]

Yeah and The Guess Who.

And Gordon Lightfoot.

And Ian and Sylvia.

And The Band.

 

[l00p]

Triumph (the band, not the insult comic)

 

[pasotex]

or both ...

 

[YoLaDu]

Broken Social Scene or

New Pornographers or

Arcade Fire...

although now that i think of it, the Butler brothers are from the Woodlands!

 

[Wild Bill]

Exactly! Rush & Triumph would have been great. Also, Bryan Adams wouldn't have been too bad

 

[Crusher X]

Barenaked Ladies?

 

[MaxHorn]

The rumor is that Rush were going to play at the Opening Ceremonies, but their "rock" segment was cut at the last minute due to the death of the Georgian luger. The organizers wanted to keep it low-key after the death.

I was hoping they'd play last night, but it didn't happen.

 

[Third Coast]

BTO!

 

[Texas___Fight]

Cross Canadian Ragweed?

 

[bierce]

I would have voted for Leonard Cohen, Bruce Cockburn, the Cowboy Junkies and Skinny Puppy.

 

[Basketball Jones]

Three observations:

1. The biggest omission was The Scmenge Brothers

2. They at least could have had ALanis Morissette instead of Avrill...

3. Who in the hell is Russia going to put up for entertainment in 2016?

I was hoping for Bob & Doug McKenzie.

 

[TexasRx]

Or the most important band in all of Canada...

The Tragically Hip

Canadian Omission: Anvil !!!

Russian- Boris Grebenshchikov (the Russian Bob Dylan); Evgeny Kissin (classical pianist)

To look at: Anna Kournikova; Maria Sharapova

 

[Joe Fan]

 

[Longhorny630]

Whoever Russia gets, they better do a cover of Back in the USSR

And everyone nominated here and who appeared at the Olympics, should have been together on the stage for a group performance of "Beneath the Towering Pines."
