A salute to a Canadian band.

The best Canadian band, must be talking about Rush eh?

Ah...not only is RUSH the best Canadian band, they are the best band in the history of the known and unknown universe!

I'm about the only person in the States to be into Sloan, but Halifax was producing a ton of great stuff in the 90s. If you listen to their entire oeuvre, it's like The Beatles, Beach Boys, AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, and Chicago all rolled into one. They're that multifaceted. They can do it all, and they do it well.

But, yeah, April Wine is great. Helix is a killer Canadian band, too.

We all know they were far and few between (not a real knock)

April Wine played my brothers(and many other)high school during the 70's.
Over the past,O,I would say 6 yrs,The local Montreal rock station has played AW about 5 times a day.= Oversaturated.
I used to love them.

How about Voi Vod my favorite band from canada next to Exciter! Oh yea can't forget about CRYPTOPSY and RAZOR!
Im sure you all haven't heard these bands!..lolz! Im sure theres some Metalheads out there!

I saw voivoid at the Verdun auditorium around 1984.
One of the most memorable metal nights of my life.

For some reason this got more airtime than any other AW song in central Ohio when I was growing up. I always forget about them when I'm making a mix CD for the van, thanks for the reminder.

never heard of them. they sound pretty damn good though

This Canadian Band, The Tragically Hip, is a bit more current than April Wine. I hear that they are pretty much unknown in the United States.

Is that true?

[Hector]

RUSH is the BEST Canadian band of ALL TIMES...NUFF SAID!!!

[rche]

[GSPUSA]

Rush is the best Canadian band without question! I like The Guess Who, I hate, that's right I HATE the beatles. Rush is not only the best Canadian band, they're better than many American bands. PERIOD
