USB Connector Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I've been gradually building a playlist of Canadian rock. So far I've got:April WineBachman Turner OverdriveThe BandBob and Doug MackenzieBlue RodeoThe Guess WhoKim MitchellLoverboyNeil YoungRushThe Tragically HipTriumph I'd like to expand on this list. What are some of your favourite bands from the great white north eh?I've noticed a distinct lack of modern artists. Are there any good recent Canadian rock groups out there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbine Freight Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Coney Hatch's first 2 albums were good. Pat Travers was great too. Also Harlequin & Toronto are worth checking out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narps Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Coney Hatch's first 2 albums were good. Pat Travers was great too. Also Harlequin & Toronto are worth checking out.Amen on the Pat Travers. I have a bunch of late 70's Travers on vinyl. Saw him once in 79' opening for AC/DC. I enjoyed it very much. No Moxy on your playlist either? I have their first 3 albums on vinyl and used to wear them out. They are definitely worth a listen. Travers more blues/jazz and Moxy more straight up rock..... :) :codger: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
