Bachman Turner Overdrive are still very popular up here in the Great White North! A somewhat spring off of The Guess Who, Canada's first super group!

Memories are tricky things, aren't they? Frequently not to be relied upon too much.

They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch...if memory serves me correct???, LOL
I agree they did not last long in the UK and later became figures of fun for 'comedians' poking fun at rock music, but I preferred them to Guess Who and their Best Of (1998) compilation is a pretty good collection of tracks. My favourite BTO track is Blue Collar from the first album.

I like the singing on Gimme Your Money Please, whereas Blue Collar has a great guitar sound:

This is definitely not recent, but I think it is the best thing by a Canadian musican ever. You can hear the Jimi Hendrix influences, but Pat Travers was a very unorthodox guitar player.

Yes, that is a briliant track and Frank Marino was only about 19 when it was recorded. I don't know how he got that backwards sound because the notes are in tune.

Reminiscent of Iron Maiden's power metal, Victoria's
3 Inches of Blood are at the top of their game on this album...not much growling, a lot of clean vocals from the tremendous voice of Cam Pipes (aptly named) and great musicianship! Here's a track from their latest offering...the
Long Live Heavy Metal album!
