Canada had so many great bands in the 80s and early 90's. I still cant figure out how THE TRAGICALLY HIP never made it big in the us. The usa chose to love the fkn barenaked ladies which had to be the most annoying shit band to come out of canada
triumph had some good tunes and rik emmit played a mean lead,,,,rush early stuff all came together and hit big time with 2112 and then live album all the worlds a stage which took those early songs and beefed them up live culminating with peart's great drum solo on working man,,then few more record's with better production again highliting in nthat group there groundbreaker sales wise moving pictures which is a kid's dream cd in early 80's every song a hit or great hard rock classic again a live album tying in those discs then exit stage left,,,again stellar drum solo yyz,,,,then signals and some heavy synth rock stuff people got a bit bored but a good live album again see a pattern here ,,show of hands is decent but great drum solo again live ,,,,next 10 or so yrs they have gone back to signiture sound and a few more live discs lol,,,,,
