Rush, the greatest band to ever come out of Canada!

[KidEgo]

Once you listen to Rush for the first time, you're addicted. They are like Canada's version of The Beatles. They still get heavy airplay on rock radio stations, and this includes their newer and older material. Signals is one of the best albums in the history of progressive rock (<3 Subdivisions, The Analog Kid, New World Man and Countdown!). Also can't forget about their epic 2112. Three talented men! Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart!

It's true though,

Every Canadian rock band that ever gets popular is inevitably compared to Rush.

I've never heard anything from Vapor Trails or other recent albums on any of the prominent rock stations here. The only reason I have the aforementioned disc is because I saw it at Wal-Mart. For that matter, most stations around here only stick to "Limelight" and "Tom Sawyer", and very occasionally "The Temples of Syrinx".


I'd go for Skinny Puppy, though.

(Originally I was going to link to a copy of seannyb's Eva AMV using the song, but it kept freezing)

I totally forgot Skinny Puppy was Canadian.

P.S.

thanks to the rush fan that started a Canadian Music thread
