50- Ramones

American Punk Rock never sounded this great. Not only that they're very original in their way of playing and is the first Punk Rock band, but they influenced thousands of bands across the universe. The band members changes their names ending with the surname "Ramone", but none were related. They were more of an underground band in the 70's, but they never changed, because they knew that if they'd be different, that they'd be able to influence many other bands and that they would create a movement of some kind. Originality always comes to something, so they are now listed as one of the greatest artists of all times.

 49- Godspeed You! Black Emperor

When I think of montreal, I have 5 pictures in my head. Hockey, St-Hubert BBQ, bad driving, Jazz Festival, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. One thing that is truly remarkable about them is their sound. You will not hear anything sound close to GY!BE from any other Post-Rock bands. GY!BE formed in 1994 and stopped touring or releasing anything in 2003, but then toured in 2010 and are still playing now in 2012. If you don't know the band or didn't hear anything from them, I recommend the album "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven" and from there you "should" be amazed by its strong forwarding atmosphere. I also think that the production from this album in particular couldn't be any better.

Over all, Godspeed You! Black Emperor is a very experimental Post-Rock group that always amazes me for its power that almost makes me want to give up everything I have in music. I have to see them live before I die (now thats a treat!).

That must be normal in Canada? -_-

48. Syd Barrett

What can I say? The guy was too original for Pink Floyd... Or maybe too weird! The way Syd Barrett left Pink Floyd, or most likely, the way Pink Floyd let him go was on a beautiful day jaming with the band. Syd wrote a song called "Have You Got it Yet?", and as he was showing the song to Waters, he kept changing the time signatures over and over again until Roger Waters said "I Got it Now" And walked out of the room. Thats the last time Syd Barrett ever played with Pink Floyd.

Now that's only Roger's point of view. I like to think that Roger Waters couldn't follow the insane time signatures of Syd Barrett... Did you know that Gilmour's solo in "Money" had to be in 4/4 because he thought it would've been too hard doing it in 7/4? And if Gilmour was just as good as Waters, it could've been that Waters just didn't understand the time signatures given out by Syd... After Pink Floyd, Syd started his career as a visual artist and let me tell you that his paintings are as good as his songs. Syd was a true genius in everything he ever did. Possibly the most crazy weird musician ever.

Syd died of pancreatic cancer in 2006 at the age of 60. He will always be remembered as a hero.
