Many, many great bands from Canada, but if i can only pick 1 then it's Rush.

Agreed...with Triumph a close second!

Rush, but Showdown gets a nod for their one underground hit that NEVER can be played on broadcast radio (The Rodeo Song).

 

[nakedfrog]

Without any doubt or hesitation, Rush.

 

[Colt45]

Neil young and/or Rush

Mine would have to be The Guess Who. Burton Cummings is an amazingly talented rock singer.

BTO blows them out of the water.

Marty McFly in Back to the Future

Since my reference was very old, Linky

Note that the lyrics contain minimal asteriks and could make them marginally safe for work (at bottom).

Triumph, The Tragically Hip and The Tea Party all are in my top 10 faves.

Rush. Barenaked Ladies is a close second.

My vote goes to 3 Inches of Blood, just because I don't want to think very hard about it.

Rush easily although I do enjoy Default too

Have to agree with this. I recently saw Great Big Sea in concert and it might not be every bodies taste in music, they are incredible in concert. Going to see them again in a month.

Funny story. Friend was in a small band and did the "blue school bus" tour type thing when some guy came back stage saying how awesome they were and wanting to sign them. They asked who he was with and it was some small record label. They had visions of being bigger than Jesus and going with a huge label so they told him to ah heck off. The small record label the next week signed Blue Rodeo and my friend went off to be a dentist. He still kicks his ass everytime he tells that story.

Nice list.

I had forgotten about bands like Aldo Nova and April Wine, and didn't realize Heart recorded their awesome debut "Dreamboat Annie" in Vancover. Buffalo Springfield, BTO....

Way to go Canada :thumbsup:
