Off the top of my head.. The Tragically Hip.. While they are HUGE in Canada. They have very limited exposure everywhere else. Samiam and Autopilot Off are bands that should have had more exposure as well in my opinion.
If this thread was already done OOPS. Just for fun, I am curious to Know what was the first record (cd, mp3) you bought. As well, what was the first concert you went to? The first record I bought was Adam and the Ants: Kings of the wild frontier. The first concert I went to was.. The English Beat. Bow Wow Wow opened for them.
Here's the list of my current guitars... I use them all for various reasons. Billy Duffy and Johnny Marr were my guitar idols growing up in the 80's Hence The Gretsch Black Falcon and Jaguar. http://imgur.com/a/ZTlUB Gretsch electromatic 5122.

I think you and your wife should buy a few beers or a bottle of wine and write it off as an expense for all the hard work you two put in to get this site up and running so quickly.
