Mike Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Haven't researched them thuroughly, maybe you all can help me expand the list. I know April wine , The Guess who (and of course Randy Bachman) Bachman Turner Overdrive (BTO), Bryan Adams, Tom Cochrane/Red Rider , Steppenwolf, Neil Young I know I am forgetting probably some newer ones, but I'm old and listen to the old stuff mostly. :: My absolute most favorite band from the great white north is of course - * RUSH * - Guys and gals, if you haven't experienced the the sound created by Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee and Neil Peart (worlds greatest drummer) then you are missing out! YYZ from Moving Pictures and the live performance or Exit stage left... Hopefully if you are from the younger generation 15-25 years old - you have to given these guys a hard listen, you won't regret it! Ok, I've given you the question and my answer... What's your favorite Canadian band? Rock on -eh! ~ Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Barenaked Ladies. Hands down, the Great White North's best band. Right behind them, the Tea Party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Midget Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Definitely Rush. The Spirit of Radio is an awesome song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Definitely Rush. The Spirit of Radio is an awesome song. Right-on Mathew someone with some musical taste I can get onboard with. Rush rules! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushnroll Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 You like RUSH?! I'm not sure who they are, do they play rock n roll? Ok - ok, they are alright. Have you heard the new one - Vapor Trails? :guitar: + :guitar: + = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Annabelle_ Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Well i'm not sure if they count as "Canadian" but four of their five members were born in Canada so no question my favorite would be The Band. Them being one of the most talented, influential, idiosyncratic and critically acclaimed groups of the late '60's to mid '70's. Robbie Robertson (lead guitar), one of the finest songwriters of the rock era, Garth Hudson (keyboards, saxophone), an instrumental virtuoso, Levon Helm (drums), Rick Danko (bass, guitar) and Richard Manuel (piano) all fine musicians and co-lead singers, make up the group. Also the rock documentary of their farewell performance, The Last Waltz by Martin Scorcese, is one of my favorite films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXX Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Not really a fan of Canadian bands: Loverboy, Barenaked Ladies, and such. BUT, Rush is one of my all-time fave bands. I remember being shocked as a kid when I heard they were Canadian... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXX Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Why would you be shocked? 'Cause most of what I had heard up to that point was largely unimpressive and bland. I thought Rush were British for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamisammy29 Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 I saw Rush on Saturday in Pennsylvania. They played for over three hours, jammed a lot, but cut out a lot of their more popular songs. However, they did do "Trees", "Limelight", "YYZ" and "2112". The show was great. They are three truly great musicians. I saw them last year at the SARSfest in Toronto. They only played a short set (about 8 songs) but they were cool. Everyone should see them at least once in their lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
