Besides Saga, Canadian bands of that era recorded some really great stuff. stuff like Triumph Allied Forces, April Wine Nature of the Beast and to a lesser extent Loverboy's Get Lucky and Keep it Up.

I love Saga and taped their performance from Reading Festival in 1981, when it was broadcast on Tommy Vance's Friday Rock Show on BBC Radio 1 (along with Billy Squier). It was great and deserved/deserves an official release. If it exists as a boot, I haven't managed to track it down. At the time, they were unusual and did not sound like any other progressive rock band, but these days are incorrectly dismissed as neo. I also liked the Rob Moratti version of the band and his solo album is worth listening to, if you are a fan.
Another original and quality rock band from Canada is Max Webster, particularly on the album, A Million Vacations (1979), which does not have one weak track. Kim Mitchell's solo albums are pretty good too. |
