Early Talking Heads, early Roxy Music, Joy Division, Godspeed You Black Emperor, a little Big Star, and a little early REM, if not some Sugarcubes-era Bjork - I think I might have the bases covered.

There was an article about the Montreal music scene in the NYT, two weekends ago (February 6), that piqued my curiosity. Good stuff there - it hearkens back to another era (or three). Sadly, the article is no longer available for free.
