Since we have a lot of Canadian friends on this board, I have to ask - Who are your favorite Canadian bands?
Mine is RUSH. They have been one of my favorite bands ever since I can remember.
They totally rule........The music and lyrics are all top notch.
The other one is The Tea Party - Jeff Martin is a genius. His new band The Armada is cool as well.
Tragically Hip, The Guess Who and BTO are/were good......help me with more names
Please dont say Nickelback - LOL
Nickelback
I asked for that one!
I loved the Guess Who back in the day...and then Bachman Turner Overdrive.
I'm a big Neil Young fan...
Rush, Nickleback; both excellent bands -but I can't think of any others.
Isn't Brian Adams Canadian? But he's not band.
Ohhh we also have to thank Canada for Celine Dion .
God how could I forget Neil Young?
Big Sugar was a fav back in the day, especially the first release when it was just blues without the pop. But Gordie always riffed out with the best of 'em. I saw the 3 piece perform in a small club just after the first album and Gordie had a Hiwatt and Marshall both cranked. He didn't need PA and it was awesome.
Rush has always been a fav however I didn't care too much for anything after Grace Under Pressure
I like the Hip but they're almost in the Steve Miller bin for me; heard it all too many times. I first saw them when they played a "nooner" at college in '90 before they hit it big. They've always put on a good show.
I like Neil Young's early stuff. Don't care for the Guess Who or BTO so much anymore, though I did like them in my teens.
So many others,...
Just messin' with ya, Leper.
Barenaked Ladies...I've seen them in concert, they were entertaining
and we can't forget Leonard Cohen....or maybe we can... I dunno...sometimes I like him, other times he hurts my ears...
