Rocky Mountain Way - Triumph

Ummm... that's not actually a Canadian song (it's a Joe Walsh cover, but the Triumph version does have some very good guitar work by Emmett...).

 

[pussylicker]

Hey Fuzzy, Your box is full

Hi Fuzzy,

Although I like the Eagles, the only Joe Walsh songs I have are Ordinary Average Guy and Life's Been Good. I do have Triumph's Rocky Mountain Way. Post was keeping in line with Canadian bands, artists, which was where I was probably thinking, more than content.

Thanks for the heads up

No worries. For what it's worth, I also prefer the Triumph version. The original uses a lot of slide guitar, which gives it more of a "twangy" sound... it's still great, but I was (am?) a huge Emmett fan, so obviously his playing is a little closer to my taste.

Just wanted to give the old Southerner his due credit.

Nobody mentioned probably the most influential Canadian act (along with Neil)....

The Band.

So very many artists cite them as being a huge influence. Even Eric Clapton wanted to be a member but he knew he wouldn't fit in.

As for my favourite Band song, I'd say "The Weight".

I had The Weight on my list, too, but I thought that if I listed too many, nobody else would post in this thread.

Here's a very cool song by the Canadian Squires who were also known as Levon & The Hawks when they recorded this single "Leave Me Alone" in 1964. They had just finished with Ronnie Hawkins and were a couple of years from touring with Bob Dylan. They later became The Band in 1968.

Hold on.....................No Rush, Platinum Blonde, Corey Hart, Loverboy, Shania Twain, Celine Dion or Bryan Adams....I know these lists aren't complete or very accurate.
Come on, lets get with the program folks!

ah yes how I could forget Platinum Blonde :

Crying over you
It doesn't really matter
Not in Love
Standing in the Dark
Situation Critical

Sign of the Gypsy Queen - April Wine
Subdivisions - Rush

Did anybody buy the boxed set of The Band that came out just before Christmas? It's got everything they did in their different incarnations along with a DVD of never seen before performances. I was tempted, but seeing as I've got so much of it already I didn't feel like spending $100 for 2-3 discs worth of material I didn't have.

Anything by I Mother Earth with either singer

Greaseball Boogie Band

My Favourite Canadian Song? Anything on the Album by that 70's Toronto rock n' roll bar band, the Greaseball Boogie Band. Still have the LP. When I need a shot of nostalgia, this is it.
