Road Apples and Up To Here are probably their best albums

this is all very true. those two are their best albums. the CRTC laws did get them played everywhere too.

the OTHER reason people find them annoying is because they pretty much pulled an ac/dc and put out basically the same album (fully completely) for a decade.

I remember hearing them on the Radio when I was a bebe, they don't really do anything for me tho.

I know a lot of their songs and I like them, but I can't find their albums anywhere. I only want to hear their 90's work.
