@Cheesecat - Most of The Jimi Hendrix Experience were British. That said, it would be absolutely RIDICULOUS to try and downplay the contribution of the USA to popular music. Really ridiculous.

WOAH there, little buddy! You guys have Neil fething YOUNG! And Joni Mitchell!!!
Just those two are better than pretty much all of the artists produced by every other country (apart from the UK and USA) put together.
Don't put Canada down, man. As far as I'm concerned, Canadians are awesome and I will fight anyone who says different!

Americans who are going to answer this question should go by their state, not America as a whole, since the states are closer in equivalence to the nations of Europe, while America is more like the European Union. But me, I'm going to limit myself to my hometown.
Long before Grunge, Seattle gave the world the awesomeness that is the Wilson sisters, Ann and Nancy. Better known as Heart:
As one might imagine from the Experience Music Project and the mutliple statutes of him in the city, we're all quite proud of native son Jimi Hendrix:
And I'd be remiss if I didn't post at least one song from the band that provided the soundtrack to high school for me (hint: it was Nirvana):

Oh, and one more that's from a band hardly anyone outside of Seattle will have heard of -- experimental, psychedelic noise-jazz fusion band Critters Buggin.

You're from Seattle and you didn't mention Metal Church, I'm ashamed.
If you're going to mention Front Line Assembly, or any of Bill leeb's thousand other projects, you have to mention Skinny Puppy, where he got his start. SP has to be one of the single most influential bands to ever come out of Canada.
Canada's Sarah Mclachlan also deserves a mention, not only because of how good she is, but also because of her huge influence in the music industry. She also worked with Bill Leeb on the first Delerium album, so there's that connection too.
Skinny puppy is also good. Bill leeb was great when I used to do a radio show at college. Because of the CRTC we had to play a number of canadian songs in an hour, so with his many side projects we could really be playing the same guy and call it different music. If I got tired of that I could always play stompin tom. There was a lot of stuff that was good canadian music but it's hard to remember what bands were.
Wow, tenth album. That dude is way too prolific. It was the first album I ever heard of theirs, and their biggest hit.
