This grouping is very heavy on the classic rock, with the inclusion of a classic country star and a present day Canadian icon.
1. Hank Snow
“I Don’t Hurt Anymore”
The venerable Hank Snow. What can you say. The man is simply an icon in traditional country music.
2. BTO
“Let it Ride”
The band, to me, was a mixture of very good songs. like this one, and Nickelback. Very popular band, and, for Randy Bachman, proved that there is life after being in a mega-group.
3. The Guess Who
“Albert Flasher”
Another classic tune from the original Canadian superstars. This song showcases Burton Cummings and his vocals. The piano is not to shabby either.
4. The Tragically Hip
“Little Bones”
One could say this is classic rock as it was recorded in 1991. However, they are still putting out some great music and are still getting major airplay in Canada
5. Prism
“Spaceship Superstar”
Prism is a great under-rated Canadian band. this song is a classic. You can’t help but sing along on the chorus.

I’m gonna have to go with BTO and Hank Snow, on this one. I was willing to get past the hair and the clothes, given that it’s classic rock, but the lyrics to spaceship super star were just a little too corny. The music is solid, I actually like that kind of thing. But holy hell, those lyrics…haha! They kind of reminded me of Uriah Heep…?
The tragically Hip was pretty good.

Pretty much on the lyrics. Definitely an 80’s band. Uriah Heep. Hadn’t heard that name in a while. Magicians birthday. I think I have that buried in my closet somewhere. Bought a turntable years ago that digitizes from vinyl to a computer. A project I may never get to.

Did the Hip ever make a presence down there?

The Guess Who seem like a tribute band to the chemistry of Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracey.
