This music Canadian classic rock is the very heart and soul of my growing up years, Jr high, high school, and beyond. Bands like Trooper, April Wine, STREETHEART, Prism, Chilliwack, the Guess Who, Steppenwolf, etc.
The only thing sad about it is a lot of the great stuff that came out of Canada wasn't heard by many outside the country, or at least not in the US, which is really their loss. Because beleive me I listen to a lot of stuff from all over and this Canadian stuff ranks right up there with all of it.
