Excellent idea for thread topics! I was going to suggest something similar called 'What are you exporting'.

This will be one of many entries from me on this..

Nickelback originally from Alberta (I think)
The video is a hoot- with too many celebrity cameos to mention.
This song was written by Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top. That's his voice in the song and him in the video.

You can't miss these guys (and my personal favorite of theirs):

[AcousticAl]

The Tragically Hip from Kingston, Ontario
Really big in Canada- but never really made a splash elsewhere.

[AcousticAl]

Rush from Willowdale (near Toronto, Ontario)
Arguably having the best trio of guitar, bass and drums on the planet.

Aarg- I can't believe you beat me to Rush! My favorite band for many a year.

Anyway, it's a sorry follow-up, but how about Arcade Fire?:

[suziko]

Or Joni Mitchell:
