I say Junior Boys, but I doubt they win...
Jeff Klingman
Holy crap, people in Canada know Joel Plaskett? I remember him from Thrush Hermit, who released a couple great records in the late 90s/early 00s and then disappeared.
Etan Rosenbloom
What? Don't be stupid Etan. Why wouldn't we know who he is? Junior Boys all the way, representin' tha Golden Horseshoe!
Andrew Douglas
patrick watson. He sang on the new cinematic orchestra - and i've been hooked ever since'
John B
I'm a no good Ameri-centrist is why, Andrew. If a band isn't popular here, it can't possibly be popular anywhere else.
Etan Rosenbloom
50 cent takes it!
Yung Daba
Definitely Feist. No doubt about it.
Anthony
Wow, no love for Besnard Lakes? It's too easy with their album title, but I'd really put money on them as a dark horse to steal it.
John Zeiss
Arcade Fire has the best album up there but they've gotten enough love. I'd love to see Feist or the highly underrated Patrick Watson take it. That guy's album is amazing...
