In full disclosure, I had heard about the band but today was my first time actually listening to the music.
Based on what Acajack has provided it seems more like Bob Dylan in terms of providing a message with clever and no holds-barred lyrics with solid musical talent. Lightfoot was a great story teller but very different in his message, at least during his hey days.

The Tragically Hip seems like the closest equivalent to Les Cowboys, right down to the impact of the singer's death from cancer. They were less about social commentary though (but not fully without).
