Canadiana: Bryan Adams
Bryan Adams "made it big" in the US, based on some of his sappier romantic ballads, but his earlier work is far better.

Canadiana: Stampeders
For the next ten days we're celebrating the Calgary Stampede ... The Greatest Outdoor Show On Earth.
Due to OVERWHELMING demand, I give you The Stampeders, a Calgary band from the late 60's and early 70's.
One of the following clips is an actual performance at the Calgary Stampede, albeit 1971 or thereabouts.
Wishing you were all here, whooping it up with me! Banjos optional.

Canadiana: Kim Mitchell
Some pretty negative vibes these days in the blogosphere. I think eveyone needs to take Kim Mitchell's advice...might as well go for a soda!
Might as well go for a soda nobody hurts and nobody cries
Might as well go for a soda nobody drowns and nobody dies
Might as well go for a soda its better than slander better than lies
And once you've done that, make sure you do your rock n roll duty.
Remember, we're not in it for the money, we're in it for love love love...
Might as well go for a soda nobody hurts and nobody cries

Canadiana: Aldo Nova
Continuing on with our exciting survey of execrable Canadian supergroups and one hit wonders, we have everybody's favorite leopard-print wearing musician, Aldo Caporuscio.
Aldo Nova is what you might call a one-and-a-half hit wonder. Skip to the 1:20 mark of Fantasy to hear the actual song, the first minute or so is too painful to sit through.
Ball and Chain got a lot of airplay in Canada. They didn't do a very good job of synching the music to the video here. Again, skip the first minute to get to the song.
Foolin' Yourself made it on both the Canadian and US charts.
Finally, an Aldo Nova retrospective would be incomplete without an eyepatch and a black panther...

Canadiana: Saga and FM
This was supposed to have been a post about Nash the Slash, a Canadian musician "famous" for having done a cover of Grand Funk Railroad's "We're an American Band". The irony, of course, is that Nash is neither American nor a band, being a solo artist at the time.
Sadly, for you, I can neither find a video of Nash's GFR cover, "I'm an American Band," nor can I find another Nash the Slash classic, "Dance After Curfew."
For those of you Canadians who enjoyed CityTV's "The New Music" show in the late 70's and early 80's, you'll remember JD Roberts (now John Roberts of Fox News) regularly featuring some of the best alternative music of the day. How I miss those weekly broadcasts (although I don't miss Jeannie Becker, who later went on to do Fashion TV).
Since i'm unable to share Nash the Slash with you, here's the next best thing: two other Canadian progressive rock bands, similar to Rush. One is Saga, which likely received some airplay in the USA and Europe. The other is FM, which Nash the Slash was an off-again, on-again member. FM is also considered a "space rock" band, as many of their early music featured space travel and other science fiction themes.
