Gimme an "R", "O", "C", "K", and the crowd yells "ROCK" really loud. Now that's a f***ing concert.

That's the biggest thing I know about Helix.

What I commented on was some Canadian bands. There's many known Canadian bands and lesser known ones. I can't get everything unfortunately.

1,000% Triumph! If not for Triumph probably The Band or Arcade Fire (well, up to The Suburbs).

Hahaha! YES!!! Great song!!!!! LOVE IT!

 

HELIX RULES!

Platinum Blonde is great. I recall Alex plays a guitar solo on the track "Alien Shore."

 

 

I wish the boys played their "Alien Shore" on the "Counterparts" Tour.

[RUSHHEAD666]

Gowan has a good record featuring Alex too!!!

 

Gowan has done a great job in STYX but for me he is becoming the weakest link now over time.

Neil Young. But since he's not listed, another vote for the Guess Who!

Neil Young. But since he's not listed, another vote for the Guess Who!

 

Neil Young was a member of The Mynah Birds with Rick James in the mid 60's.

This is before Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and his band Crazy Horse.

Neil Young was a member of The Mynah Birds with Rick James in the mid 60's.

 

Cool bit of trivia there! Here's what I learned about the rest of the Mynah Birds story...

 

Its most memorable lineup included Rick James, Neil Young, Bruce Palmer, Rickman Mason and John Taylor. Rick James would later become a major funk star in the 1970s and 1980s. Young and Palmer went on to become two of the founding members in the popular West Coast folk rock group Buffalo Springfield. After leaving Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Neil Young would go on to achieve fame as a solo artist.[1][2] Goldy McJohn and Nick St. Nicholas would later become members of the rock band Steppenwolf.

I think there's a difference between 'groups' and 'bands'.

 

The groups were vocal harmony acts and bands had members that played instruments. Although I could be wrong.

I loved the first four Our Lady Peace albums. They slowly turned into a horrible pop band after that. Not sure what the hell happened there? It seemed like they just gave up after they became successful.
