Hmm fav animal would have to well dogs followed by wolves or tigers...love tigers.

Hmm fav artist well it all depends on what I'm listening to, I like anything from Nat King Cole right up to J-pop (which is what I'm listening to right now) but I do have faves for each type of music,
pop- The Party love that group though they aren't a group anymore which sort of makes me sad.
Alternative- Shonen Knife followed up by either Bif Naked or Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies
Country-Garth probably though have to give props to Paul Brandt what with him being from the same city and all
Classical- Vanessa-Mae
Celtic- Great Big Sea or the Corrs
and for some strictly Canadian stuff Jann Arden, Lehay, The Rankins, Platnium Blonde, BNL though they're know around the world now.

Oh and Mugsy..I LOVE STYX! How can you not love a group that sings about a robot or sailing?
