Fave Canadian Bands:
(ie: A not-very comprehensive list that no one but Sid will know who they are but that's only fair, I haven't recognized a single prog rock band mentioned here in 2 years!)
Age of Electric (AB?)
Asexuals (west?)
Bif Naked (BC)
Color Me Psycho (AB)
D.O.A. (BC?)
Dayglo Abortions (BC)
Doughboys (west?)
Forbidden Dimension (AB)
Forgotten Rebels (ON)
Harlots, the (MB)
nomeansno (west?)
Propagandhi (BC?)
Real McKenzies (AB/BC)
SNFU (BC)
... then there are the honourary "Canadian" bands - Live (actually from Pennsylvania, but with a singer with a good prairie name like Ed Kowalczyk, they count)...

Apparently punks come from the West, headbangers from the near east, Celtic-types from the far east.

LT61,
Well, I'm old and "Steel River" does not ring a bell. Do you recall a band called "Foot In Cold Water"? I remember directing a remote TV broadcast of a concert for City-TV that featured that band and also another called "Edward Bear." I think the latter had a big hit single in Canada, a kind of sappy song with a catchy melody. The concert was to raise money for the mayoralty campaign of a politician, David Crombie, who later became Mayor of Toronto.
Regards,

My current favorite Canadian artist is Jorane (www.jorane.com). She's from montreal. Her music is fairly different on her different albums, and it's clearly not for everyone. I don't like her new album, but the ones before are quite good and have very good recording quality.

Alan, I haven't thought of A Foot In Cold Water in about 30 years. Talk about a blast from the past. I just ran upstairs, and YEP! I've got their self-titled album on Electra. I'll have to put it on the turntable one of these days. Whew! What a rush!

It's amazing what running up stairs can do, eh?

I overstated the issue. At my age, shuffle upstairs is a more accurate description. It was the change in altitude that provided the rush, not the speed of ascent.
