Canada Rocks: 70s lost lps pt 2...

I'll add to the above...

Three Days Grace, if you can handle some seriously angry rock. Blue Rodeo is an excellent country-rock band with a dozen records to their credit, what's taking so long for them to be embraced in the U.S.? Saga's live album is a must have, even if the recording was horrible. Kim Mitchell came from Max Webster, worth checking out. How about Bruce Cockburn for scintillating political commentary put to music, Leonard Cohen for the best poet of the last 100 years, and Aldo Nova (who's music was average but his production abilities second to none). Corey Hart and Nickelback suck (really suck). I'll say again, they suck. How about Bachman Turner Overdrive (BTO) or Bryan Adams for pop music? The Box was a fun band, but the reliance on keyboards can grind you down some.

For those of you that like to expand their horizons and can deal with French music, Offenbach was an absolutely awesome blues based band (as is the Downchild Blues Band), Harmonium was the French CSNY. And yes, there's the Hip :) There's many more, I'm just shooting off the hip.

How could I overlook Our Lady Peace, The Tea Party, and of course.. The Band

Klaatu. Anyone know their story.. by any chance?

The east coast has produced some great well-known and lesser known artists: Sloan Great Big Sea, being a couple of the former. Peter Elka, who I believe is still recording 'solo' had a really terrific alt-pop band called Local Rabbits, they put out I think 3 really well made and catchy CDs in the 90's, but definitely under the radar.
On the west coast we had in particular the Grapes of Wrath that were a real standout to me.
In the 70's one of my faves was Crowbar, insane marathon live shows. Another insane (one man) live show is Ashley MacIsaac.
