    Well, you’ve left a lot of room with those parameters. Here are a few of my favourites.

    For new indie music:
    The New Pornographers
    Broken Social Scene
    Arcade Fire
    Wolf Parade
    Stars
    Destroyer
    Neko Case

    Chick singers:
    Sarah McLachlan
    Alanis Morissette
    Jann Arden
    Loreena McKennitt

    For post-rock:
    GYBE
    Silver Mt. Zion
    Do Make Say Think

    Others:
    Neil Young
    Joni Mitchell
    The Band
    Rush
    kd lang
    Leonard Cohen
    Guy Lombardo

    Jazz vocalists:
    Diana Krall
    Michael Buble

    For main stream commercial music, which isn’t my fave but it clearly is for a lot of people:
    Nickelback
    Celine Dion
    Bryan Adams


    And all of these are Canadian bands and artists, (except Neko Case who is American but her music career started and became established in Canada.) There are many more prominent bands I’ve missed too.

    Thank you for mentioning this. :) Of course, this isn't a problem where you are... but, around here, I feel like the only person who knows they had more than one song. Or who has nearly all the albums and actually likes them more for musical reasons than political reasons.

    Went to crap with "Gravity", unfortunately

    How about some love for the French? Air and Daft Punk are awesome

    For the majority of my music-appreciating life, they have been my favorite hands down. That's changing, but I still love their work.

    have all there albums, including Blue Sky Mine signed by Peter Garrett after had been sitting at our kitchen table, great guy....

    there music was awesome, amazingly intense energy especially in the early years and then mellowed over time but the melodies got much better

    did you know Peter Garrett is now a member of Parliment here downunder
