I still don't understand how these guys don't get the credit that Rush gets in the Canadian music scene:

Greatness:

the answer is 3

Actually it's zero, as the guys in Triumph pretty much cannot stand to be in the same room together any more.

When I first read the post the Thunder 7 album cover was a red "X".

Eagles Hotel California

and I just KNOW I'm going to get bashed for this one, but...

Meatloaf Bat Out Of Hell the first one will always be a classic.

The second one wasn't too bad either, and I consider it a nice sequel to the first. The THIRD one though just sucked

Black Sabbath, Paranoid. Start to finish, great album!

I actually just started to re-listen to Rush again in the last couple years. Think their music is a lot different than Triumph, which is more vocal and less instrumental than Rush. Triumph has the odd guitar solo, but nothing like 2112 or A Farewell to Kings. Both great Canadian rock bands.

All early Sabbath is amazing....I was just discussing that with my mechanic a few weeks back. I mean, that music for way back in the early 1970's (and even the late 1960's) was so far ahead of it's time.....talk about groundbreaking stuff.

I don't necessarily think he was talking about Canadian bands. He just happened to mention two himself. I could be wrong though. He is sporting a lot of Canadian pride these last few days.

I've always liked Triumph better than Rush. Blinding Light Show is amazing.

The Guess Who is arguably the best Canadian band of all time.

Arguably sure,

But by sales / fanbase /playrates, among other things Barenaked Ladies have to be the frontrunner.

(Note: NOT saying they're my favorite / most respected).

First album I ever bought, twice. Once on cassette in the 80s, then on CD in the 90s. I can't believe it's 26 years old :(
