tangy Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Ah!!! ... This seems like an interesting thread!In my endless quest to listen to new stuff I shall throw something out to the forum to see what feedback I can get. So, I want some stuff by bands I have either ignored or just didn't encounter over the years. I am going to pick a common theme - They are to be Canadian in origin ....... hopefully that will resonate with some of you. I have picked three bands which seem to have been around a while but I just have not listened to .... The Tragically Hip Barenaked Ladies Arcade Fire What I am looking for is ..... (yeah, I know, I'm not looking for much lol!) .... An indication of their style, recommended best albums to start with, and albums to avoid. Or.... are there other bands out there you would suggest as alternatives .... I am familiar with the likes of Saga, Triumph, April Wine and any of the big-hitters internationally. If I can get a few album suggestions, they will go on to the beer-fueled weekend jukebox for my critical appraisal!!! Strapping young lad! It is ferocious. Led by hevy devy aka Devin townsend. I am not really a fan but devin is an incredible vocalist and his solo stuff is cool. Good guitar player too. Devin sang natural science on the rush tribute disc , working man. I forgot he was Canadian! I have only one album from him, Transcendence, but the name speaks for itself.He`s all over the early Steve Vai record, Sex and Religion, too. Yes! That was my first exposure to devin. And is probably my favorite thing devin has done and one of Steve's better records imo. Probably because it was more of a band than his solo records. Iirc Vai was steve, Devin, Terry bozzio and shaka Zulu? Edited December 2, 2020 by tangy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 my taste is a bit sophisticated for this crowd but I implore you all to give another listen to 1979's dynasty, by the killer clowns of rock themselves. often derided as the disco excursion that sent KISS off the rails on a lazy train, listening closely reveals a band exercising consummate professionalism and power pop delight, truly grace under pressure while not sacrificing the new york glam rock edge. it is ironic that dynasty was chosen as the title, for the actual KISS empire was slowly unraveling behind the scenes, giving recordings like "hard times" a sense of urgency and striking self-awareness, or obliviousness depending on the listener - ace frehley serves as a metaphorical joker and a master of chaos. as they say, all art is inherently autobiographical, but freud would say the artist is often not aware. it adds to the complexity that frehley has gone on the record in interviews as a proud freudian, so perhaps he knows the tools of the trade. despite frehley's deterioration on record providing the most hard-hitting tracks, paul stanley is no slouch. often speculated as a closeted homosexual, it has been argued in KISS circles that this repression gave stanley an edge in the hooks department. songs like "sure know something" are up there with the finest showtunes or the gayest disco, albeit with just enough jagger swagger and cheap trick/raspberries edge with which to market it to teenage boys full of hormones. some rock scholars have argued dynasty is the gaucho of the KISS saga. a hazy statement to interpret, as layered and as flawed as the albums themselves, but perhaps that is why it feels so right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disc 2 of fire garden is him singingI prefer disc 1 of fire garden with the fire guardian suite as one of his best songs ever. Seen him twice. And have been a fan since flexible. His disc with the orchestra kills it. Usually I dislike rock and orchestra combo but his is way superior imo. Disc 2 in particular 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
